Overview:
The Cisco® Catalyst® IW9165 Series provide reliable wireless connectivity for mission-critical applications in a state-of-the art platform. Connect moving assets or easily extend your network wirelessly wherever you need access.
The Catalyst IW9165 Series addresses the growing need for reliable client wireless connectivity to mission-critical applications as organizations automate processes and operations. It comes with two 2×2 radios, features an industrial design, and is packed with advanced features.
The Catalyst IW9165 Series supports multiple operating modes:
- Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) software, which delivers high availability, low latency, and zero packet loss with seamless handoffs. URWB is ideal for connecting moving assets or extending your network where running fiber isn’t feasible or affordable.
- Wi-Fi AP mode, to extend Wi-Fi 6/6E to more places where small form factor is important, like inside cabinets, or to easily provide coverage in the outdoors with a compact design.
- Catalyst IW9165E can also operate as a Wi-Fi client in Workgroup Bridge (WGB) mode, which allows you to connect operation-critical assets to your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure reliably.
The Catalyst IW9165 Series is designed to take advantage of the 6 GHz band expansion to deliver a network that is more reliable and secure, with higher throughput, more capacity, and less device interference. Support for the 6 GHz band will be available with a future software upgrade and is subject to approvals and regulations by each country’s regulatory agencies for the use of the 6 GHz spectrum by standard outdoor power devices.
Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point
The Catalyst IW9165D is designed to make wireless backhaul deployment simple. It comes with a built-in directional antenna that enables long-range, high-throughput connectivity anywhere fiber is not an option, so you can create a fixed wireless infrastructure (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh) as well as backhaul traffic from mobile devices along wayside or trackside deployments. The external antenna ports let you quickly extend your network to new places when needed and choose the right antenna based on the use cases and deployment architectures. With heavy-duty IP67 design, the Catalyst IW9165D is certified to operate under wet, dusty, and extreme temperature conditions.
Secure infrastructure
Trustworthy systems built with Cisco Trust Anchor technologies provide a highly secure foundation for Cisco products. With the Catalyst IW9165 Series, these technologies help assure hardware and software authenticity for supply chain trust and strong defense against man-in-the-middle attacks that compromise software and firmware. Trust Anchor capabilities include:
- Image signing
- Secure Boot
- Cisco Trust Anchor module
Features and Benefits:
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)/Wi-Fi 6E-ready | The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. Catalyst IW9165 can support 2×2 MIMO and up to two spatial streams. Wi-Fi 6E is Wi-Fi 6 “extended” into the 6 GHz frequency band, allowing the use of additional channels. Catalyst IW9165 is Wi-Fi 6E ready, subject to approvals and regulations for the use of the 6 GHz spectrum by each country’s regulatory agencies. |
| Flexible multitechnology support | Three different technologies (WGB¥, URWB and WiFi AP†) provide the flexibility to choose a mode based on use case requirements. The ability to swap images in the field enables technicians to change modes between WGB, URWB, or WiFi AP without changing the hardware. |
| Dual-radio architecture | Catalyst IW9165 has the following two data radios:
|
| Multigigabit Ethernet | Multigigabit Ethernet supports speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. All speeds are supported on Category 5e cabling, as well as 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) cabling. |
| Bluetooth 5† | The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5 radio enables location-based use cases such as asset tracking, wayfinding, and analytics. |
| GNSS | A built-in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver provides coordinates to track the location of the access point. |
| M12 adapter | The M12 adapter accessories give the flexibility to convert interfaces on the base unit into M12 interfaces, while retaining all the certifications. |
| GPIO¥† | A 2-pin GPIO (general-purpose input output) enables control of external contacts. |
| Dying gasp¥ | A temporary backup power supply on a capacitor allows graceful shutdown and generation of dying gasp messages. |
| MultiPath Operations (MPO)¢ | MPO can enhance reliability by sending duplicate copies of packets across multiple wireless paths. |
| WorkGroup Bridge (WGB)¥ | WGB provides wireless connectivity to a lightweight access point infrastructure on behalf of wired clients that are connected via Ethernet behind the WGB access point. |
† Available with a future software upgrade.
¥ Available only on the Catalyst IW9165E.
¢ Available only in URWB mode.
Get reliable wireless connectivity for your mission-critical applications
As you automate your processes and operations to increase safety and productivity, you also need to improve your situational awareness to control your systems. Moving assets involved in mission-critical applications, such as AGVs, AMRs, and tele remote devices, require reliable wireless connectivity. And sometimes you need to extend your network where running fiber isn’t feasible or is too costly.
The Catalyst IW9165 Series gives you flexibility and reliability so you can extend reliable wireless connectivity to more places and applications, with features such as:
- One hardware, three modes of operation: Protect your investment and evolve your wireless networks without the added cost of purchasing a new device. Simply update the software to run the Catalyst IW9165E in WGB¥, URWB or Wi-Fi AP mode.
- MPO:¢ This patented technology extends URWB mode by duplicating your high-priority traffic up to 8x and works alongside hardware failures to increase availability, reduce latency, and lower the effects of interference and hardware failures.
- WGB¥ and uWGB¥: In WGB mode, the device associates to another access point as a client and provides a network connection for the equipment connected to its Ethernet ports.
- Supports industrial protocols and industrial certifications (such as EN50155 for railway applications¥).
¢ Available only in URWB mode
