Cisco Part Number: CW9171I-CFG is a Cisco Wireless 9171I Access Point, Wi-Fi 7, Configurable
Cisco Wireless 9171I Access Point, Wi-Fi 7, internal omni directional antennas, tri-band, 4 spatial streams with 2x2:2 on all radios. Operates in either 2/5 of 2/6 mode. 2.5Gbps uplink, USB 2.0, DC power jack. Integrated BLE and 802.15.4 for IoT. Global Use.
The Cisco CW9171I is a high-performance indoor Wi-Fi 7 access point from the Cisco Wireless 9171 Series, designed to deliver next-generation wireless connectivity for modern enterprise environments. Built to support digital transformation initiatives in places such as boutique hotels, retail stores, healthcare facilities, student housing, and branch offices, this access point combines cutting-edge wireless performance with flexible management options and an energy-efficient design that simplifies deployment and reduces operational costs.
The CW9171I supports dual-radio tri-band operation across 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz frequencies, offering aggregate data rates up to multi-gigabit speeds. With support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard—including advanced features such as Multilink Operation (MLO), 4096-QAM, and broad channel widths—this access point delivers increased capacity, ultra-low latency, and enhanced performance for bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming, immersive AR/VR, and IoT connectivity.
Deployment is adaptable to the needs of any organisation: the CW9171I can be managed through cloud, on-premises controllers, or hybrid environments, providing scalable control and seamless integration with existing Cisco wireless infrastructures. Auto-configuration and mount compatibility make installation fast and less disruptive, while support for Cisco Catalyst Center and embedded wireless controllers offers centralised network visibility and control.
An integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio and IoT capabilities enable smart space applications such as asset tracking and analytics without additional hardware. The access point also includes a 2.5 Gbps multigigabit Ethernet uplink port, giving network administrators the bandwidth needed for demanding enterprise workloads.
Designed with sustainability and cost savings in mind, the CW9171I operates with low power draw and supports various PoE options (including PoE+ and UPOE), enabling flexible power delivery in diverse environments. Its compact footprint and internal omnidirectional antennas make it ideal for low to moderate device density spaces where reliable performance and discrete design are priorities.
This access point is ideal for organisations seeking to modernise their wireless infrastructure with future-ready Wi-Fi 7 performance, enhanced IoT support, and flexible deployment models—without sacrificing manageability or operational efficiency.
