Features and benefits

Table 1. Features and benefits

Feature	Benefit
Dual-radio tri-band Wi-Fi 7 (2.4 and 5/6 GHz)	Delivers reliable, high-speed connectivity for modern devices.
Aggregate data rate of 6120 Mbps	Supports bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming and IoT.
Cloud, on-premises, or hybrid management	Enables flexible, scalable deployment across diverse environments with your choice of network management and monitoring.
IoT radios (BLE, 802.15.4)	The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and IoT radios power smart spaces with asset tracking and automation.
Compact design with mount compatibility	Simplifies installation and reduces deployment time.
Power efficiency	The CW9171I has a maximum power requirement of 30W which reduces operational costs and supports sustainability goals.
Moderate-density radio configurations	Optimizes performance for specific use cases like retail or healthcare.
Dual power options (PoE/DC)	Offers deployment flexibility in older or temporary spaces.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be)	The IEEE 802.11be standard, also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT) or Wi-Fi 7, is the latest in Wi-Fi with enhancements such as 4K-QAM, Multilink Operation (MLO), enhanced orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), and preamble puncturing support for a 320-MHz channel width built to increase data transfer rates and connection performance, especially for applications requiring low latency like AR and VR apps.
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax)	The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It delivers better experience in typical environments with more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video; high-density, high-definition collaboration apps; all-wireless offices; and IoT. Wi-Fi 6E is Wi-Fi 6 “extended” into the 6-GHz frequency band.
Band steering	Band steering is a feature that enables your dual-band devices to detect higher radio frequency of 5 GHz or the 6 GHz band and allows the device to automatically transmit on that band. This feature allows your dual-band access point to steer and direct devices to a more optimal radio frequency, improving network performance.
2.5-Gbps Multigigabit Ethernet	Multigigabit Ethernet provides speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. Note: Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A cabling is required.
AP power optimizations (AP Power Save Mode)	AP power optimizations (AP Power Save mode) allow the access point to reduce its power consumption by, for example, shutting off radios during off-hours and weekends – while still being smart enough to reengage all features should they be needed. This both saves power and reduces the carbon footprint of running a wireless network.
Intelligent Capture	Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco Catalyst^™ Center with deep analysis. The software can track more than 240 anomalies and instantaneously review all packets on demand, emulating the onsite network administrator. Intelligent Capture allows for more informed decisions on your wireless networks.
Bluetooth/BLE	The integrated BLE 5.3 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and analytics. Upgradable to BLE 6 with a future software update.
Application hosting	Application hosting helps simplify IoT deployments and ready them for the future by eliminating the need to install and manage overlay networks. Using the USB interface, containerized applications and hardware modules can be deployed to reduce cost and complexity. Adding Cisco Catalyst Center provides workflows and deployment-wide application lifecycle management.
Container support for applications	Container support enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point.
