Overview
The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) on the C9120AX Access Point, as represented by the C9120AXI-EWC-A model, offers a streamlined and efficient solution for wireless network management. By integrating the controller directly into the access point, Cisco simplifies deployment and reduces infrastructure complexity. This setup is particularly advantageous for environments where space and resources are limited. The C9120AXI-EWC-A supports the latest Wi-Fi standards, including Wi-Fi 6, ensuring high-performance connectivity and improved user experiences. With centralized management capabilities, administrators can easily configure and monitor multiple access points from a single interface, enhancing network visibility and control. Advanced features such as intelligent RF optimization and self-healing mechanisms ensure reliable and consistent wireless coverage. Additionally, the embedded controller provides secure guest access and robust encryption protocols, safeguarding sensitive data and network integrity.
