What's New in Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul on Catalyst IW Access Points, Release 17.14.1
The following new features are introduced in Unified Industrial Wireless (UIW) release 17.14.1:
-
Dying Gasp functionality is implemented on Catalyst IW9165E. This allows the access point to send a message to the infrastructure when a loss of power occurs, and this message allows the network to stop sending traffic to the offline access point immediately.
-
Support for High Availability with MPO.
-
Support for 160 MHz channel bandwidth on Catalyst IW9165E.
-
Support for Rx-SOP threshold functionality on Catalyst IW9167E.
This Release Note primarily provides information about the URWB mode of operation. For more details about Workgroup Bridge (WGB), check the Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, Cisco IOS XE 17.14.x.
