About the Cisco Catalyst 9136I Series Wireless Access Point
The Cisco Catalyst 9136I series wireless access point is a tri-band (2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, 6-GHz), enterprise 802.11ax (Wi-Fi
6) AP. The AP has one model which has integrated antennas, and are designed to use 2.4 GHz, the 5 GHz and the 6 GHz
bands. This AP series supports a greater overall High Density Experience (HDX), which provides a more predictable
performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K videos, high-density and high-definition collaboration
applications, all-wireless offices, and Internet-of-Things (IoT). The AP supports full interoperability with leading
802.11ax and 802.11ac clients, along with a mixed deployment with other APs and controllers. These APs provide
integrated security, resiliency and operational flexibility as well as increased network intelligence.
A full listing of the AP's features and specifications are provided in the Cisco Catalyst 9136I Series Access Point Data
