Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Point Features
• A tri-band scanning radio for Cisco CleanAir Pro
• A 2.4-GHz Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio
• Integrated internal antennas that are omnidirectional in azimuth for the 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz
bands.
• Scanning radio utilizes one 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz antenna. The BLE uses one 2.4GHz antenna
• Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology for downlink.
Note Only 6-GHz radio supports Uplink MU-MIMO.
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access-based (OFDMA-based) scheduling for both uplink and
downlink.
• 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)
• USB 2.0 port, type-A connector
• DC 12V power jack
• One multicolor LED
• Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio to enable IoT use cases such as location tracking and
wayfinding.
• Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis.
• Spatial Reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) that allows APs and their clients to
differentiate between multiple BSS, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions.
• Power savings mode called Target Wake Time (TWT), which allows a client to stay asleep and wake up
only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the AP. This provides significant energy savings
for battery-operated devices.
• Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center (DNA Center) support to enable Cisco DNA Spaces, Apple
FastLane, and Cisco Identity Services Engine.
• Optimized AP Roaming to ensure that client devices associate with the AP in the coverage range that
offers the fastest data rate available.
• Cisco CleanAir Pro technology supports 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz bands. CleanAir Pro delivers
proactive, high-speed spectrum intelligence across 20, 40, and 80, and 160-MHz-wide channels to combat
performance problems arising from wireless interference.
• Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) deployment is supported.
