Description

Cisco Catalyst9117AX Access Point Ghana

The Cisco Catalyst9117AX Ghana is a new generation of Cisco Catalyst Access Point, with high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) capabilities and innovations in RF performance, security, and analytics, enabling end-to-end digitization and helps accelerate the rollout of business services by delivering beyond Wi-Fi. With the Catalyst 9117 Series, you can secure remote workers or the micro-office. This Cisco WiFi Ghana can function as an OfficeExtend access point (OEAP). With an OEAP, an employee at home or in a temporary micro-office will have access to the corporate SSID and the corporate network without the need to set up a VPN or have any advanced technical know-how.

Extending Cisco’s intent-based network and perfect for networks of all sizes, the Cisco Catalyst9117AX Ghana scales to meet the growing demands of IoT while fully supporting the latest innovations and new technologies. The Catalyst 9117 Series is also a leader in performance, security, and analytics. The Cisco Catalyst9117AX Ghana Access Points, paired with the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA), are enterprise-class products that will address both your current and future needs. They are the first step in updating your network to take better advantage of all of the features and benefits that Wi-Fi 6 provides.

Features

802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)

The IEEE 802.11ax emerging standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. Cisco Catalyst9117AX Ghana will therefore, deliver a better experience in typical environments and more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density, high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and IoT. 802.11ax is designed to use both the 2.4-Ghz and 5-GHz bands, unlike the 802.11ac standard.

802.11ac Wave 2 support

Cisco WiFi Ghana provides a connection rate of up to 3.5 Gbps—significantly higher than rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11ac access points

OFDMA

OFDMA-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller chunks called Resource Units (RUs), which can be allocated to individual clients only in the downlink direction to reduce overhead and latency.

MU‑MIMO technology

Cisco Catalyst9117AX Ghana supports eight spatial streams, MU-MIMO enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices, to maximize throughput.

Target wake time

A new power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to 3x to 4x compared to 802.11n and 802.11ac.

Embedded Catalyst Wireless Controller

The Cisco Catalyst9117AX Wi-Fi 6 access points comes with a built-in controller. The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst 9100 Access Points provides an easy-to-deploy and manage option that does not require a physical appliance. The control resides on the access point, so there is no added footprint or complexity. And, because it uses Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller code, it’s easy to migrate your network as your needs grow.

User Defined Network

A feature available in Cisco DNA Center, allows IT to give end users control of their very own wireless network partition on a shared network. End users can then remotely and securely deploy their devices on this network. Perfect for university dormitories or extended hospital stays, Cisco User Defined Network grants both device security and control, allowing each user to choose who can connect to their network.

Application Hosting on Catalyst 9100 Access

Application Hosting on Cisco Catalyst9117AX Ghana Points helps future-proof and simplify IoT deployments by eliminating the need to install and manage overlay networks. Utilizing the USB interface, containerized applications and hardware modules can be deployed to reduce cost and complexity. Adding Cisco DNA Center provides workflows and deployment-wide application lifecycle management.

Multigigabit Ethernet support

The Cisco Catalyst9117AX provides uplink speeds of 5 Gbps, in addition to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. All speeds are supported on Category 5e cabling for an industry first, as well as 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) cabling.

Bluetooth 5.0

The Cisco WiFi Ghana is integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 radio to enable IoT use cases such as location tracking and wayfinding

Apple features

Apple and Cisco have partnered to create an optimal mobile experience for iOS devices on corporate networks based on Cisco technologies. Using new features in iOS 10, in combination with the latest software and hardware from Cisco, businesses can now more effectively use their network infrastructure to deliver an enhanced user experience across all business applications.
