Technical Specifications

Embedded Wireless Controller Wi-Fi 6

The C9105AXI-EWC-C includes the Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller software image. This allows the supported access point to provide wireless controller functionality for a compatible EWC deployment without requiring a separate physical wireless controller.

Dual 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 Radios

The access point provides 2x2:2 MU-MIMO on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The dual-concurrent architecture allows simultaneous wireless service across both frequency bands.

1.488 Gbps Maximum PHY Rate

The C9105AXI-EWC-C supports up to 1.488 Gbps aggregate maximum PHY data rate. Actual throughput depends on client capability, channel conditions, channel width, RF interference and protocol overhead.

Wi-Fi 6 Efficiency

OFDMA allows wireless resources to be efficiently shared among multiple clients, while MU-MIMO improves simultaneous multi-client communication. BSS Coloring and Target Wake Time further improve spectrum efficiency and client operation.

Compact Internal-Antenna Design

The C9105AXI uses integrated internal antennas and a compact wall-mount form factor. Cisco documentation identifies it as an indoor access point designed for installation on a wall or standard junction box.

Integrated IoT and Bluetooth

The platform includes Bluetooth Low Energy and a dedicated IoT/BLE radio, supporting enterprise IoT, asset tracking and location-aware applications.

Embedded Controller Architecture

In an EWC deployment, a supported C9105AXI-EWC access point can act as the active wireless controller while supported Cisco access points join the EWC network as subordinate access points. Cisco documents support for up to 50 access points and 1,000 clients for Catalyst 9105AXI access points running EWC.

Applications

• Small and midsize enterprise WLANs
• Corporate office networks
• Branch and distributed enterprise locations
• Retail and commercial environments
• Educational institutions
• Hospitality deployments
• IoT-enabled indoor networks
• Compact wall-mounted wireless installations
• Wi-Fi 6 modernization projects
• Supported EWC deployments

Compatibility

The Cisco Catalyst C9105AXI-EWC-C is the EWC-enabled version of the C9105AXI indoor access point. Cisco documentation identifies C9105AXI-EWC-x as the C9105AXI with a Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller software image.

Cisco's EWC architecture uses Cisco IOS XE and can manage supported subordinate Cisco Catalyst access points. The exact supported AP models and software releases should be verified against the applicable Cisco EWC feature matrix before deployment.

The “-C” suffix identifies a Cisco regulatory-domain variant. Country-specific regulatory approval, supported channels and permitted operating frequencies should be verified before deployment.

Cisco C9105AXI-EWC-C Price in Bangladesh

The Cisco C9105AXI-EWC-C price in Bangladesh may vary depending on licensing, regulatory domain, warranty, accessories and availability. As Cisco has announced end-of-sale for the EWC-on-access-point product family, customers should verify current supply and support status before purchasing.
