About the Access Point
The Cisco Catalyst 9120AX series wireless access point is a dual band, dual concurrent, enterprise 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
AP. This AP series has integrated antennas designed to use both 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. This access point
supports a greater overall High Density Experience (HDX) which provides a more predictable performance for advanced
applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density and high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices and
Internet-of-Things (IoT). The access point supports full interoperability with leading 802.11ax and 802.11ac clients, and
supports a mixed deployment with other access points and controllers. These APs provide integrated security, resiliency
and operational flexibility as well as increased network intelligence.
A full listing of the access point's features and specifications are provided in the Cisco Catalyst 9120AX Series Access
Point Data Sheet, at the following URL:

Access Point Features
The 9120AX series access point is a wireless controller-based product and supports:

Four dual-band integrated antennas on the 9120AXI access point models (C9120AXI-x and C9120AXI-ME-x)
Note The 'x' in the model numbers represents the regulatory domain. For information on supported regulatory
domains, see

Integrated internal antennas, omni directional in azimuth for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

Four radios, a dual band radio with 2.4 GHz (peak gain 4dBi) and 4x4 5 GHz (peak gain 5dBi), a single band 5 GHz
(peak gain 5dBi), an omni IoT radio 2.4 GHz (peak gain 3dBi) that can be used with BLE, Zigbee, Thread and other
multi-protocol 802.15.4 devices, and an auxiliary radio with 2.4 GHz (peak gain 3dBi) and 5 GHz (peak gain 5dBi)

Simultaneous 4x4 MIMO with four spatial streams for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands

Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology with 4 spatial streams for downlink.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling for both downlink and uplink

The following hardware external interfaces:
— 1x100/1000/2500 Multigigabit Ethernet (RJ-45)
— RS-232 Console Interface through RJ-45
— Recovery push button (enables partial or full system configuration recovery)
