CW9164I Technical Specifications

CW9164I Wi-Fi 6E Performance

The CW9164I uses three client-serving radios operating concurrently across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. Cisco specifies 2x2:2 operation on 2.4 GHz and 4x4:4 operation on both 5 GHz and 6 GHz, producing an aggregate maximum frame rate of up to 7.49 Gbps.

The 6 GHz radio provides additional clean spectrum for compatible Wi-Fi 6E clients, helping reduce interference and increase available wireless capacity in busy enterprise environments.

4x4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA

The 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios use 4x4:4 MU-MIMO, while the 2.4 GHz radio uses 2x2:2. Wi-Fi 6 technologies including uplink/downlink OFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming, BSS Coloring and Target Wake Time improve spectrum efficiency and multi-client performance.

Integrated Omnidirectional Antennas

The CW9164I uses integrated omnidirectional antennas designed for indoor enterprise coverage. Cisco specifies peak antenna gains of 3 dBi at 2.4 GHz, 5 dBi at 5 GHz and 4 dBi at 6 GHz.

Dedicated RF and Security Scanning

A dedicated fourth radio provides 24x7 wireless intrusion detection and prevention, spectrum analysis and location analytics. This allows RF monitoring and wireless security functions to operate independently of the client-serving radios.

Bluetooth and IoT Connectivity

An integrated Bluetooth Low Energy and IoT radio supports BLE beaconing and scanning, enabling location-aware applications and visibility of compatible Bluetooth devices.

2.5GbE Multigigabit Connectivity

The CW9164I includes one 100/1000/2.5GBASE-T RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3bt/UPoE power configurations. USB functionality requires an appropriate higher-power configuration.

Flexible Cisco Meraki and Catalyst Management

The CW9164I provides flexible management options. It can be operated through the Cisco Meraki cloud-based stack or through supported Cisco Catalyst management infrastructure, including Catalyst 9800 wireless controllers.

This hybrid capability provides organizations with flexibility to use cloud-managed Meraki networking or on-premises Catalyst management while retaining the same Wi-Fi 6E hardware platform.

Enterprise Security Features

• WPA2-PSK and WPA2-Enterprise
• WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise
• WPA3 Enhanced Open / OWE
• 802.1X authentication
• Real-time WIDS/WIPS with Air Marshal
• Automatic rogue access point detection and containment
• Integrated Layer 7 firewall
• Guest access and device isolation
• VLAN tagging and IPsec VPN tunneling
• PCI compliance reporting

CW9164I Applications

• Midsize enterprise offices
• Corporate campuses
• Schools and universities
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Retail stores and commercial buildings
• Hotels and hospitality environments
