C9124AXI-X

C9124AXI-X Overview

The Cisco Catalyst C9124AXI-X is an enterprise-grade outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for high-density environments. With its ruggedized form factor and flexible mounting options, the C9124AXI-X delivers reliable and high-performance wireless connectivity in harsh outdoor locations.

This 802.11ax model supports 160MHz channel bandwidth and 4×4 MU-MIMO to provide wireless speeds up to 5.4Gbps. Its 4×4:4SS radios with internal omni-directional antennas ensure strong Wi-Fi coverage across large outdoor areas. The access point is IP66/IP67 rated for protection against dust, rain and extreme temperatures.

With support for advanced features like BSS Coloring, OFDMA and Target Wake Time, the C9124AXI-X can efficiently handle high client densities. It has an integrated BLE 5 radio for location services and supports PoE/UPOE for flexible deployments. The access point integrates with Cisco DNA Center and can be managed by Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controllers.
