Product Overview

The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst 9130AXI Access Point delivers cutting-edge wireless performance by combining the power of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with embedded controller capabilities directly on the access point. Designed for indoor enterprise deployments, the unit supports a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band architecture with advanced 8x8 and 4x4 MU-MIMO technology. The access point includes integrated Bluetooth 5.0 LE, Zigbee support, and comprehensive compatibility with modern IoT infrastructures.

Equipped with 2 GB of RAM and 1 GB of flash memory, the device supports OFDMA encoding and features high-efficiency functions such as beamforming, packet aggregation (A-MPDU and A-MSDU), and Target Wake Time (TWT) for improved power and bandwidth management. Its compact 8.9” x 8.9” x 1.9” chassis includes a low profile bracket and ceiling mount clip for flexible installation. The unit supports UPOE through a 1/2.5/5GBase-T port, along with RJ-45 and USB 2.0 interfaces for added manageability.

Security and reliability are strengthened through protocols like WPA3, 802.1x authentication, and the Cisco Trust Anchor module. TAA-compliant and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the C9130AXI offers a strong ROI for businesses requiring scalable, high-density wireless networks without separate controller infrastructure.
