The Cisco Catalyst 9105AXW-K access point represents a significant investment in your enterprise wireless network infrastructure by responding directly to the growing need for higher capacity, greater reliability, and deeper security. As the latest technology in the Wi-Fi 6 range, this access point affords multiple advantages to enterprises.
Firstly, its 2×2 MIMO technology enhances Wi-Fi capacity and efficiency, allowing more devices to connect and engage with the network simultaneously without compromising speed or quality. This is crucial for modern business environments where multiple devices per person are the norm. Wi-Fi 6 also significantly improves coverage in dense environments, prevents interference, and works to maximize the performance of all connected devices.
Secondly, features like OFDMA and MU-MIMO enable the network to deliver high throughput to multiple clients simultaneously, which is incredibly beneficial for collaborative workspaces and online meetings. This ensures that critical business applications get the bandwidth they need to function smoothly.
The TWT function allows devices to schedule their communications with the AP, which not only reduces the contention for airtime but also greatly extends the battery life of client devices. This is particularly important for IoT devices and scenarios where devices may need to operate on battery power for extended periods.
Moreover, Cisco is known for its rigorous security protocols. By choosing a Cisco Catalyst product, you benefit from an array of security features that help to protect sensitive data and mitigate threats, ensuring compliance with business security policies and regulations.
Finally, the investment in a Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6 AP is future-proofing for your business. As Wi-Fi 6 becomes the standard, your infrastructure will already be aligned with the latest technology, avoiding costly upgrades in the near future and ensuring that both your employees and your guest users have the best possible wireless experience.
C9105AXW-K is a Cisco Catalyst 9105AX Wall Plate, with internal antennas; Wi-Fi 6; 2×2 MIMO with two spatial streams, and K regulatory domain. Cisco® Catalyst® 9105 Series Access Points are the most versatile next generation access point in enterprise grade. They are resilient, secure, and intelligent.

Feature |
Benefits |
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) |
The IEEE 802.11ax emerging standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It delivers a better experience in typical environments with more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density, high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and IoT. Wi-Fi 6 is designed to use both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, unlike the 802.11ac standard. |
Uplink/downlink OFDMA |
OFDMA-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller frequency allocations called Resource Units (RUs), which can be assigned to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency. |
Downlink MU‑MIMO technology |
Supporting two spatial streams, MU-MIMO enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices to maximize throughput. |
BSS coloring |
Spatial reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions. |
Target Wake Time |
A new power-saving mode called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the access point. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to 3x to 4x the savings achieved by 802.11n and 802.11ac. |
Intelligent Capture |
Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis. The software can track more than 240 anomalies and instantaneously review all packets on demand, emulating the onsite network administrator. Intelligent Capture allows for more informed decisions on your wireless networks. |
Bluetooth 5 |
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, way finding or analytics. |
Container support for applications |
Container support enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point. |
Apple features |
Apple and Cisco have partnered to create an optimal mobile experience for iOS devices on corporate networks based on Cisco technologies. Using new features in Apple iOS, in combination with the latest software and hardware from Cisco, businesses can now more effectively use their network infrastructure to deliver an enhanced user experience across all business applications. At the center of the collaboration is a unique handshake between the Cisco WLAN and Apple devices. This handshake enables the Cisco WLAN to provide an optimal Wi-Fi roaming experience to Apple devices. Additionally, the Cisco WLAN trusts Apple devices and gives priority treatment for business-critical applications specified by the Apple device. This feature is also known as Fast Lane. |
