The Cisco Catalyst 9166 Series Wi-Fi 6E Access Points enable operation in the 6 GHz band, creating a network that is more reliable and secure, with higher throughput, increased capacity, and reduced device interference. These access points feature three 4x4 radios and a variety of cutting-edge capabilities, including built-in environmental sensors and IoT radios. The Catalyst 9166 Series even offers an internal directional antenna model - the Catalyst 9166D1 - designed for applications and areas with high ceilings, such as auditoriums, warehouses, and other large open spaces. The Catalyst 9166D1 should be deployed where external antennas would typically be required. And since the Catalyst 9166D1 uses an integrated directional antenna, there is no need for additional hardware to achieve optimal wireless coverage.

Operational management is flexible, allowing customers to change their network management at any time. If a network with Cisco Catalyst 9166 Series Access Points was originally a local deployment, it can be transitioned to cloud-based management without the need to purchase and distribute additional hardware, saving you money as you build your network.

With the industry's leading local network platform (Catalyst) combined with the industry's leading cloud IT platform (Meraki), these access points provide an unparalleled network experience. For organizations that need a wireless solution to deliver a reliable, flexible, and superior experience for users, the Cisco Catalyst 9166 Series Access Points are the best choice.
