Meet the Cisco Wireless 9172H, a Wi‑Fi 7 enterprise access point engineered for global deployment. Designed for organizations that demand reliable, high‑capacity wireless coverage, it delivers tri‑band performance across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands to support dense environments and demanding applications.
-
Tri‑band, three‑radio architecture: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands supported by three synchronized radios for increased capacity and better client distribution.
-
2x2:2 MIMO per radio: Each radio delivers two spatial streams for efficient bandwidth and improved performance in dense environments.
-
Dedicated scanning and IoT radios: Includes a dedicated tri‑band scanning radio for real‑time monitoring and an IoT/BLE radio to support device sensing.
-
Global regulatory compatibility: Designed for worldwide deployment with support for multiple regulatory domains.
-
High‑speed Ethernet and PoE support: 2.5G Ethernet port with Power over Ethernet (802.3bt) for flexible, centralized power and data delivery.
-
Indoor wall‑plate form factor: CW9172H is designed as an indoor wall‑plate access point with integrated omnidirectional antennas for streamlined installation.
With three Wi‑Fi 7 radios, the 9172H can handle high client density and bandwidth‑hungry applications across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, reducing interference and improving user experience. The dedicated scanning radio provides real‑time visibility into RF conditions, while the BLE IoT radio supports modern device ecosystems. Global regulatory support means your network can scale across regions without retooling hardware.
