Q: What is the main difference between the Cisco CW9800L and the base C9800-L?

It supports up to 500 APs and 10,000 clients with up to 10 Gbps throughput, compared to the base model's lower capacity, making it the ideal choice for growing networks with future expansion in mind. Our experts at Nexus ITX can help you determine the perfect fit.
