Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9163E Access Point Features
Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controller-based products support Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9163E Access Points.
The following are the key features of the AP:
Hardware:
• 2x2 Triple–Band Triple–Concurrent radio—2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz radios
• 1x1 Tri-Band scanning radio
• Integrated GNSS receiver
• External GNSS port
• Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio enables IoT use cases like location tracking and wayfinding.
• The AP has the following external interfaces:
• 1x100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet (PoE-IN)
• Recovery push button
• One multicolor LED status indicator. For information about the colors of the LED status indicator,
see Checking the Access Point LEDs, on page 40.
Software:
• The scanning radio can perform advanced radio frequency (RF) spectrum analysis, and deliver features
such as next-generation CleanAirPro, Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) detection.
• Cisco CleanAir Pro technology enhanced with 160-MHz channel support. CleanAir pro delivers proactive,
high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20, 40, 80, and 160-MHz-wide channels to combat performance
issues from wireless interference.
• MU-MIMO technology for uplink and downlink.
• OFDMA-based scheduling for both uplink and downlink.
• A new power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows clients to stay asleep and wake up
only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This mode provides significant energy
savings for battery-operated devices.
• Cisco Catalyst Center support enables Cisco Spaces, Apple FastLane, Cisco Identity Services Engine
(ISE), and Meraki Health intelligent optimization and assurance.
• Optimized AP Roaming to ensure client devices associate with the AP in their coverage range, offering
the fastest data rate available.
