Campus gateways
In today's hyper-connected world, your campus network is the backbone of your organization. A slow, unreliable, or insecure wireless experience is no longer an option. Yet, managing large-scale Wi-Fi deployments can be complex, draining IT resources and hindering agility. You need a solution that delivers enterprise-grade performance with the simplicity and flexibility of the cloud.
Enter the Cisco Campus Gateway. This intelligent, cloud-native wireless solution bridges the gap, offering the robust scalability and features of an on-premises controller with the streamlined management of a cloud dashboard. Designed for modern campuses in the UAE and across the globe, it centralizes your wireless LAN architecture, ensuring a seamless, secure, and high-performance experience for every user, on every device.
The Cisco Campus Gateway is engineered on the proven and powerful Cisco CW9800 hardware platform, providing a unified foundation for your network's evolution. This shared architecture offers a smooth, predictable migration path for organizations transitioning from traditional on-premises controllers to a more agile, cloud-managed model, protecting your investment while unlocking new capabilities.
From sprawling university campuses and corporate headquarters to large-scale hospitality venues, the platform offers two distinct models to match your specific needs. Whether you require 100 Gbps of throughput for 50,000 clients or a more modest deployment for 500 access points, there is a Cisco Campus Gateway that fits perfectly. It simplifies network security through innovative features like Adaptive Policy with Security Group Tags (SGTs), allowing for dynamic, identity-based segmentation without the complexity of traditional ACLs.
Choosing the right hardware is only the first step.

Q: What is the main difference between the CW9800H1-MCG and CW9800L-MCG models?
A: The primary difference is scale and performance. The CW9800H1-MCG is built for large-scale deployments, supporting up to 5,000 access points and 100 Gbps throughput. The CW9800L-MCG is designed for smaller to medium-sized campuses, supporting up to 500 access points and 10 Gbps throughput. Our experts at Nexus ITX can help you assess your requirements to select the perfect model for your needs.
Q: Can these gateways manage our existing Cisco Wi-Fi 6/6E access points?
A: Absolutely. The Cisco Campus Gateways are designed for modern networks and fully support Cisco Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points. They are also future-ready for Wi-Fi 7, protecting your infrastructure investment. Contact us to discuss your current AP inventory and ensure a seamless integration plan.
Q: We currently use on-premises Cisco controllers. How difficult is the migration?
A: The migration is designed to be as smooth as possible. Because the Campus Gateway is built on the same proven CW9800 hardware platform, the transition to cloud management is streamlined. Nexus ITX specializes in migration projects and can develop a phased plan to move your network to the cloud with minimal disruption.
Q: What are Security Group Tags (SGTs) and how do they benefit our network?
A: Security Group Tags are a core component of Cisco's Adaptive Policy. Instead of using complex IP-based access control lists (ACLs), SGTs apply policies based on user and device identity. This simplifies network segmentation, enhances security by isolating traffic, and automatically adapts as users and devices move across the network. Let us show you how this can revolutionize your network security.
Q: Does NEXUS ITX provide deployment and support services for these gateways in the UAE?
A: Yes, we do. As a Dubai-based IT solutions provider, we offer comprehensive end-to-end services, including initial consultation, network design, professional deployment, and ongoing managed support for businesses across the UAE and the wider Middle East region. We are your local Cisco experts.
