Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client

Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client

The Catalyst IW9165E is designed to add ultra-reliable wireless connectivity to moving vehicles and machines. Its compact form factor makes it very simple to integrate into industrial assets. It can operate as WGB unit, URWB unit, or as Wi-Fi AP to enable any use case and leverage the existing wireless environment.

The Catalyst IW9165E supports WGB mode, which allows it to connect to a Cisco access point infrastructure, and Universal WGB (uWGB) mode, which allows it to connect to a third-party access point infrastructure. Both of these modes help bridge the wired clients that are behind the WGB to the access point on the infrastructure side.

Low power consumption, rugged IP30 design, small form factor, and DIN rail mount capabilities make the Catalyst IW9165E an ideal product operating as a wireless client for Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) deployments, or as a Wi-Fi AP to be installed in cabinets and other places where size is a limiting factor. An M12 adapter and rail certifications make the Catalyst IW9165E a preferred choice for onboard train deployments as well.
