The Cisco Catalyst 9130AX series wireless access point is a dual-band, dual-concurrent, enterprise 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) AP.
This AP series has two models, one with integrated antennas and the other with external antennas, which are designed to use both 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands.
This AP series supports a greater overall High Density Experience (HDX), which provides a more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K videos, high-density and high-definition collaboration applications, all-wireless offices, and Internet-of-Things (IoT).
