Cisco Catalyst C9115AXI 802.11ax 5.38 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - Indoor

The Cisco Catalyst C9115AXI is a high-performance indoor wireless access point purpose-built for modern enterprises that demand reliability, scalability, and security in dense environments. Engineered for digital transformation, this Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) AP delivers up to 5.38 Gbps of aggregate throughput, empowering heavy workloads such as high-definition video conferencing, cloud-based applications, and large-scale IoT deployments without sacrificing user experience. Its design emphasizes air-time efficiency, dynamic spectrum management, and seamless roaming, so employees and guests stay connected as they move across offices, campuses, and hospitality spaces. Integrated security features and Cisco’s proven management ecosystem ensure centralized control, policy enforcement, and visibility across the network from day one. With its compact indoor form factor, the C9115AXI provides flexible placement on ceilings or walls, blending into office aesthetics while delivering enterprise-grade performance. Cisco’s Catalyst family combines robust hardware with software-defined networking capabilities, enabling administrators to scale networks with confidence and deploy new services quickly. This model is ideal for organizations upgrading from legacy wireless, expanding density, or standardizing on a unified, Cisco-powered wireless fabric that supports policy-driven networking, analytics, and secure guest access.

  • Blazing-fast Wi-Fi 6 throughput: Up to 5.38 Gbps aggregate across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to support video, collaboration, and cloud applications in dense environments.
  • Advanced wireless technology for high-density sites: OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and 1024-QAM optimize airtime efficiency, reduce latency, and boost concurrent client performance even with hundreds of devices per location.
  • Enterprise-grade security and policy control: Built-in WPA3, 802.1X, TLS encryption, and integration with Cisco security and identity services to protect data, devices, and guest access across the network.
  • Seamless management and scalable deployment: Works with Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers for centralized provisioning, analytics, policy enforcement, and automated workflows across campuses and branch offices.
  • Flexible, reliable indoor deployment: Compact ceiling- or wall-mountable design with energy-efficient hardware, PoE-powered operation, and robust operation in commercial interiors that require minimal maintenance and downtime.

How to install Cisco Catalyst C9115AXI

  • Plan coverage and placement: Conduct site surveys or heat-map analyses to determine optimal AP placement, ensuring minimal interference from walls, metal, or other devices while maximizing ceiling height and user density coverage.
  • Prepare the network: Confirm a PoE-capable switch or power injector is available to power the AP. Prepare VLANs and SSIDs aligned with security and access policies, and ensure network policy zones are defined in the management platform you will use (Cisco DNA Center or WLC).
  • Mount the device: Install the AP on a suitable ceiling tile or wall mounting surface using the provided mounting hardware. Leave ample clearance around the unit to avoid airflow and interference issues, and maintain clearance from metal structures that could affect signal propagation.
  • Connect and power: Run the Ethernet uplink cable from the AP to the PoE switch and verify link activity. Power on the device and allow it to boot, which may initiate automatic discovery and initial configuration workflows.
  • Adopt and configure: Use the Cisco management platform to adopt the AP into your network. Configure SSIDs, security policies (WPA3), VLAN tagging, QoS, and roaming settings (802.11k/v) as needed. Enable features such as band steering, airtime fairness, and OFDMA optimization to maximize performance.
  • Validate performance: After deployment, perform throughput and coverage testing, adjust placement if necessary, and monitor key metrics (signal strength, client counts, airtime usage) to ensure the solution meets performance targets.
  • Ongoing management: Set up alerting and analytics in your management platform, apply firmware updates, and schedule regular health checks to maintain peak performance and security compliance across the wireless fabric.
