The
Cisco Catalyst 9105 Series Access Points are enterprise-class Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access points designed to deliver secure, resilient, and intelligent wireless connectivity across a wide range of deployment scenarios. Built on the
Cisco Catalyst platform, the 9105 Series enables organisations to support high-performance clients, bandwidth-intensive applications, and a growing number of IoT devices — all while maintaining consistent security and operational control.
The series includes two primary models tailored to different physical environments:
- 9105AXI – Designed for ceiling mounting or desktop placement, making it ideal for small to medium-sized offices, branch locations, and teleworker or micro-office deployments.
- 9105AXW – A wall-mounted model optimised for hospitality environments, student accommodation, residence halls, and multi-dwelling units.
Both models provide a seamless, high-performance wireless experience with integrated security features such as Secure Boot, runtime defences, cryptographic image signing, and hardware authenticity verification, helping protect the network from boot-level and firmware-level threats.
Key Features
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) performance – Supports 2x2:2 SS MU-MIMO on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, delivering improved capacity, efficiency, and performance in high-density environments.
- Optimised for modern workloads – Enhanced spectrum efficiency and reduced latency to support cloud applications, video collaboration, and IoT connectivity.
- Compact, energy-efficient design – Small form factor and low power consumption make the 9105 Series particularly well suited for teleworker and remote deployments.
- Integrated security architecture – Includes Secure Boot, runtime memory protection, hardware root of trust, and image signing to safeguard system integrity.
- Support for Cisco DNA – Enables automation, policy-based segmentation, real-time analytics, and advanced threat detection for simplified network management.
- Cisco User Defined Network (UDN) – Allows end users to create secure, segmented wireless partitions within a shared infrastructure — ideal for university dormitories, healthcare environments, and shared accommodation.
- Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) support – Provides policy-based automation and secure segmentation across the wired and wireless network.
- Enhanced security for open Wi-Fi – Supports secure onboarding and encryption capabilities even in guest or shared environments.
- Simple installation – Designed for rapid deployment with bundled accessories for home, branch, or enterprise installation.
Deployment Scenarios and Use Cases
The Cisco Catalyst 9105 Series is engineered for flexible deployment across diverse environments, including:
- Small to medium-sized offices and branch locations
- Remote and hybrid workforce environments
- Hospitality venues and hotels
- University residence halls and student accommodation
- Multi-dwelling residential units
With support for secure wired and wireless access, intelligent network automation, and advanced segmentation, the 9105 Series empowers organisations to extend enterprise-grade connectivity to remote workers and distributed sites. The result is improved operational flexibility, enhanced network visibility, and the ability to scale securely and confidently as digital transformation initiatives evolve.
