Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI-EWC-E - Wireless Access Point

The Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI-EWC-E is a Layer 2 Wi-Fi 6 access point with an integrated wireless controller, designed for indoor coverage. It connects wired and wireless traffic via a single 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Gigabit Ethernet port and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1.488 Gbit/s. The integrated controller simplifies local network management by removing the need for a separate hardware appliance. The unit uses the IEEE 802.11ax standard to handle high-density environments while remaining compatible with older Wi-Fi protocols.

Designed specifically for indoor use, the access point has a compact form factor rather than a standard rack-mountable chassis. It is powered exclusively via Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for flexible installation on ceilings or in areas without nearby mains power. Administrators can configure the network through a web-based management interface secured with SSH and SSL. The system also supports VLANs and Quality of Service (QoS) to maintain efficient traffic flow.

• Integrated Bluetooth 5 (BLE) for communication with IoT devices and location services.
• Wireless security protocols, including WPA3, WPA2, and WPA2-AES encryption, to protect network traffic.
• Hardware-based Access Control List (ACL) functionality for defining data routing rules.
• DHCP client operation and multicast support for efficient data distribution.
• Compact physical footprint measuring 150 x 150 x 30 mm and weighing 329.5 g.
