Describes the configuration of URWB operation mode on Catalyst Industrial Wireless access points.
URWB operation mode is a wireless technology configuration that enables Catalyst Industrial Wireless access points to operate in Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul mode.
URWB operation mode characteristics
Catalyst Industrial Wireless access points support multiple wireless technologies, such as Catalyst Wi-Fi (AP), Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB), and Workgroup Bridge (WGB). The modes supported vary by specific access point.
The access point OS supports two different software images: Catalyst Wi-Fi (AP) and Unified Industrial Wireless (UIW). Both URWB and WGB are part of the UIW software. The access point mode is determined at boot time based on the mode the access point is configured to operate in.
