Description

Meet the Cisco Catalyst 9130AX, a premium Wi‑Fi 6 enterprise access point engineered for dense, high‑demand environments. This model delivers up to 5.38 Gbit/s of total wireless throughput, empowering organizations to support large numbers of devices with low latency, fast roaming, and dependable performance across multiple floors and large spaces. Equipped with 2048 MB of DRAM, the 9130AX is built to handle sophisticated radio optimizations, security features, and concurrent client connections without compromising user experience. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into Cisco’s ecosystem, enabling streamlined management, scalable deployments, and robust policy enforcement across campuses, hospitals, hotels, and enterprise campuses. Note that the unit ships without the processor and cellular components, allowing you to tailor the AP to your preferred controller or cloud management solution while keeping a compact, flexible footprint. In terms of connectivity, the device supports IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet) and PoE standards 802.3af/at, offering flexible power and networking options to simplify installation in ceilings, walls, or other strategic mounting locations. The Catalyst 9130AX also carries a limited lifetime hardware warranty, reflecting Cisco’s confidence in long‑term reliability and ongoing performance in demanding environments. With support for a broad range of wireless standards and regulatory features, this access point is designed to deliver secure, resilient wireless connectivity that scales with your organization’s changing needs.

  • Blazing Wi‑Fi 6 performance: Up to 5.38 Gbit/s total data rate across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, powered by 802.11ax, OFDMA, MU‑MIMO, and target wake time optimization. This combination reduces contention, improves efficiency, and lowers latency as devices multiply in classrooms, conference centers, and busy office campuses. Dynamic spectrum selection helps minimize interference and maximize user experience without manual tuning, ensuring smooth performance during peak hours and heavy device density.
  • Robust hardware for enterprise workloads: 2048 MB DRAM and a purpose‑built processing architecture keep response times brisk, support fast client handoffs, and sustain throughput under load. The memory and compute foundation enables advanced radio optimizations and security features while integrating effortlessly with Cisco management solutions for scalable, predictable performance across large networks.
  • Broad compatibility and regulatory support: Supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax across dual bands, enabling broad client compatibility—from legacy devices to the latest Wi‑Fi 6 clients. It includes regulatory domain features 802.11h and 802.11d to ensure compliance with regional wireless rules and dynamic channel usage, making it suitable for multinational deployments and roaming across diverse regulatory zones while maintaining consistent security and policy enforcement.
  • Flexible power and connectivity: Compatible with IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet and PoE standards 802.3af/at, delivering data and power over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, reduces cabling costs, and supports ceiling or wall mounting in dense environments. The AP’s compact form factor and streamlined cooling design facilitate discreet integration into modern office spaces without compromising performance.
  • Reliable warranty and deployment notes: The device is backed by a limited lifetime hardware warranty, underscoring Cisco’s commitment to long‑term reliability. It is important to note that the processor and cellular technology are not included, so you’ll pair the AP with an appropriate controller or cloud management platform to unlock the full feature set, secure roaming, and scalable operations across your network.

How to install Cisco Catalyst 9130AX 802.11ax 5.38 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

  • Plan your placement for optimal signal coverage and interference avoidance, ideally mounting on ceilings in central locations across each floor to maximize coverage and minimize dead zones.
  • Prepare power and backhaul: use a PoE+ capable switch (IEEE 802.3at) or compatible PoE injector to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable, while ensuring the network backbone supports Gigabit speeds for backhaul connectivity.
  • Mount the AP and connect: secure the device to the chosen ceiling or wall mount, connect the Ethernet cable, and power on. Allow the device to boot and establish connectivity with your management network or controller.
  • Adopt and configure: in your Cisco management environment (controller, DNA Center, or cloud management), adopt the AP, configure SSIDs, enable appropriate security (WPA2/WPA3), set radio parameters (channel, width, transmit power), and apply desired policies for guest access and device onboarding.
  • Test, monitor, and optimize: perform a site survey, monitor client performance and airtime usage, and adjust settings such as band steering, MU‑MIMO, and airtime fairness to balance throughput with user experience in real environments.
