Cisco Catalyst 9124AXI – ROW wireless access point – Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 6

The Cisco C9124AXI-ROW is a model within the Cisco Catalyst 9124AX Series of outdoor access points. This series represents Cisco’s next generation of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) outdoor access points, specifically designed for robust performance in challenging outdoor environments.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and specifications:

Key Features and Specifications:

• Outdoor and Ruggedized Design: This is a crucial aspect. The “ROW” in the model number, while primarily indicating a regulatory domain, also implicitly means it’s built for outdoor use. It’s encased in a robust and rugged design, typically with IP67/IP66 ratings, meaning it’s protected against dust ingress and water immersion/jets, and designed to withstand extreme temperatures (e.g., -40°C to 65°C / -40°F to 149°F), humidity (0% to 100% condensing), and even high winds.
• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Standard: It supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, offering:
  • Higher Data Rates: Up to 5.38 Gbps total wireless transmission speed.
  • Increased Efficiency: Uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) for more efficient spectrum utilization, especially in high-density environments.
  • Improved Capacity: Features 4×4:4 in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, supporting Uplink/Downlink MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) with four spatial streams. This allows the AP to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously.
  • Better Battery Life: Incorporates Target Wake Time (TWT) to significantly improve battery life for client devices.
  • BSS Coloring: Enhances spatial reuse to reduce co-channel interference in dense deployments.
