Product Overview
The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on C9105AX Access Point (model C9105AXI-EWC-B) is a powerful dual-band indoor access point that integrates wireless controller functionality directly within its hardware. It supports a broad range of WLAN standards, including IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi-Fi 6), and Bluetooth 5.0 for enhanced device connectivity. Designed for ceiling or wall installation, with included mounting hardware, this unit is well-suited to modern, high-density indoor environments. The internal antennas and 2x2 MU-MIMO technology ensure consistent, high-throughput wireless performance across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. OFDMA and beamforming capabilities improve efficiency and reliability in multi-user scenarios, while a comprehensive suite of security protocols (including WPA3 and secure boot) ensures network integrity.
The product is PoE-compatible, simplifying installation and reducing infrastructure complexity. TAA-compliant and conforming to a wide range of global regulatory standards, it is ideal for enterprise and government use. The embedded controller software eliminates the need for separate hardware, optimizing operational efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership. Built to operate in temperatures ranging from 32 °F to 122 °F and humidity up to 90% non-condensing, this unit is engineered for reliable indoor deployment.
