Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 9162I is a compact, cost-effective Wi-Fi 6E access point ideal for offices, classrooms, clinics, and small-to-midsize deployments that still need 6 GHz performance. Its smaller footprint suits ceiling and wall mounting in space-constrained areas. It uses three 2x2 radios across 2.4/5/6 GHz for 6 total spatial streams, with a 2.5 Gigabit multigigabit RJ-45 uplink and PoE+ power. This controller-managed (-B) variant integrates with a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series controller for unified policy and monitoring; an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio supports location services.

Highlights

Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) tri-band with 6 GHz in a compact form factor; 6 spatial streams (2x2 per band)
2.5G multigigabit RJ-45 uplink, PoE+ (802.3at) powered
Controller-managed (-B) for Catalyst 9800 on-prem WLC deployments
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio for location services
