Product Overview
The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on C9120AXE Access Point is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 solution tailored for enterprise and indoor environments requiring scalable and flexible wireless network infrastructure. Designed as a 4x4:4 MU-MIMO access point, it supports advanced wireless technologies including OFDMA, Target Wake Time (TWT), and beamforming, enabling higher throughput and lower latency for a dense device ecosystem. With embedded wireless controller capabilities, organizations can deploy, manage, and troubleshoot networks without the need for a physical wireless LAN controller, drastically reducing hardware footprint and cost.
This unit features integrated Bluetooth 5.0 and IEEE 802.15.4, making it compatible with IoT applications, while AES, WPA3-ready encryption, and Cisco Trust Anchor technology offer comprehensive enterprise-grade security. The external form factor includes detachable antennas and multiple connectivity ports such as 1/2.5GBase-T and USB 2.0, supporting flexible wiring and expansion. UPOE (Universal Power over Ethernet) compatibility and rugged indoor design ensure operational reliability across a wide range of environments with temperature tolerance from -4°F to 122°F and up to 90% non-condensing humidity.
Backed by a limited lifetime warranty and TAA compliance, the C9120AXE-EWC-B is suitable for government, educational, and commercial applications demanding interoperability, performance, and centralized control—without added controller infrastructure.
