Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) |
The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It delivers a better experience in typical environments with more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video; high-density, high-definition collaboration apps; all-wireless offices; and the Internet of Things (IoT). Wi-Fi 6E is Wi-Fi 6 “extended” into the 6-GHz frequency band. |
Environmental sensors |
These built-in sensors measure air quality (Total Volatile Organic Compounds [TVOC]), temperature, and humidity, and help ensure a safe working environment, avoiding the need to install an overlay of difficult-to-manage independent sensors. |
Dual 5G Multigigabit Ethernet |
Dual Multigigabit Ethernet provides power-redundant uplink ports, each with speeds up to 5 Gbps. All speeds are supported on Category 5e cabling, as well as 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) cabling. Redundant powering provides hitless performance during failover. |
Smart AP |
Smart AP causes the access point to change its power consumption to reflect its current client load. An access point will typically operate on the radios provided to it irrespective of how many clients are connected. With Smart AP, if there is a small enough number of clients, the access point will automatically reduce the radio stream count, saving power. (Available with a future software upgrade.) |
Band steering |
Enhanced to help clients that are 6-GHz capable to leave the 5-GHz radio and connect to the 6-GHz one. Wi-Fi 6E clients are automatically directed to connect to the 6-GHz radio to take advantage of the benefits that that radio offers and free up the 2.4- and 5-GHz radios for legacy clients. |
Uplink/downlink OFDMA |
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller frequency allocations called Resource Units (RUs), which can be assigned to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency. |
Uplink/downlink MU‑MIMO technology |
Supporting the highest number with 16 spatial streams, Multiuser Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) enables the access points to split spatial streams between client devices to maximize throughput. |
BSS coloring |
Spatial reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions. |
Target Wake Time |
Target Wake Time (TWT) allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the access point. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to three to four times the savings achieved by 802.11n and 802.11ac. |
Intelligent Capture |
Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis. The software can track more than 240 anomalies and instantaneously review all packets on demand, emulating the onsite network administrator. Intelligent Capture allows for more informed decisions on your wireless networks. |
Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) with quad-radio mode (with future software SW upgrade) |
FRA allows the access points to intelligently determine the operating mode of serving radios based on the RF environment and traffic demands. The access points can operate in the following modes: ● Tri-radio mode: One 4×4 6-GHz radio, one 8×8 5-GHz radio, and one 4×4 2.4-GHz radio.
● Quad-radio mode: One 4×4 6-GHz radio, Dual 4×4 5-GHz radios, and one 4×4 2.4-GHz radio. With four total 4×4 radios (quad-radio) inside the access point, client device capacity can be increased on demand.
The access point’s default mode is tri-radio with 8×8 5-GHz and 4×4 for 6-GHz and 2.4-GHz. It has the ability to split the 8×8 radio into two separate 4×4 5-GHz radios through a future software upgrade, thereby enabling the benefits of FRA while allowing the 2.4- and 6-GHz radios to remain active. |
Application hosting |
Application hosting helps simplify IoT deployments and ready them for the future by eliminating the need to install and manage overlay networks. Using the USB interface, containerized applications and hardware modules can be deployed to reduce cost and complexity. Adding Cisco DNA Center provides workflows and deployment-wide application lifecycle management. |
Bluetooth 5 |
The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and analytics. |
Container support for applications |
Container support enables edge computing capabilities for IoT applications on the host access point. |
Cisco Catalyst 9136 Series Access Points
Titik Akses Cisco Catalyst Seri 9136 adalah titik akses perusahaan generasi berikutnya yang mendukung pita 6 GHz baru untuk Wi-Fi. Titik akses ini tangguh, aman, dan cerdas.
Titik akses Catalyst 9136I
Seri Catalyst 9136 yang kompatibel dengan Wi-Fi 6E memanfaatkan perluasan pita 6 GHz untuk menghasilkan jaringan yang lebih andal dan aman, dengan throughput yang lebih tinggi, kapasitas lebih besar, dan gangguan perangkat yang lebih sedikit. Titik akses dilengkapi dengan dua radio 4x4 dan satu radio 8x8 dan menyediakan sejumlah fitur.
Teknologi Wi-Fi 6E memperluas Wi-Fi 6 ke spektrum 6 GHz, menghadirkan kecepatan yang lebih cepat dan latensi yang lebih rendah sekaligus menyediakan keamanan yang lebih baik bagi jaringan. Karena aplikasi menjadi semakin penting untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan, klien memerlukan akses tanpa hambatan ke aplikasi tersebut. Wi-Fi 6E menyediakan akses langsung tersebut.
Fitur Wi-Fi 6E:
- Kecepatan jaringan meningkat karena spektrum 6 GHz baru dan lebar pita tambahan.
- Standar baru keandalan dan prediktabilitas koneksi yang memperpendek jarak antara koneksi nirkabel dan kabel. Perangkat Wi-Fi 6E tidak perlu berbagi spektrum yang sama dengan perangkat apa pun yang tidak kompatibel dengan Wi-Fi 6E dan akan memiliki spektrum bebas gangguan tambahan sebesar 1,2 GHz.
- Keamanan jaringan yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya, berkat keamanan WPA3 yang wajib.
