Engineered for Extreme Density and Unmatched Flexibility

The Cisco Wireless CW9179F harnesses the full power of the new Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard to deliver a truly next-generation wireless experience. With aggregate data rates reaching up to 24 Gbps, it leverages groundbreaking features like 320 MHz channel widths, 4096 QAM modulation, and Multilink Operation (MLO) to dramatically increase throughput, reduce latency, and enhance reliability. This means your network can handle more devices, more applications, and more data simultaneously, without breaking a sweat.

Beyond its raw performance, the CW9179F is a masterpiece of versatile engineering. Its unique convertible design, enabled by a patented environment pack, allows it to be deployed seamlessly both indoors and in harsh outdoor conditions, a crucial advantage for venues with varied spaces. This flexibility is further enhanced by software-configurable antenna patterns, allowing our engineers to precisely shape RF coverage to your specific needs—be it a long-throw boresight for stadium seating or a wide pattern for concourses. With dual 10G Multigigabit Ethernet ports providing full link and power redundancy, the CW9179F is built for the non-stop, mission-critical demands of large public venues.
