Overview
The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) on the C9120AX Access Point, known as the C9120AXI-EWC-H model, offers a compact and integrated solution for managing wireless networks. This innovative approach combines the functionality of a wireless controller directly within the access point hardware, streamlining deployment and reducing infrastructure complexity. This integration eliminates the need for a separate controller appliance, reducing hardware costs and simplifying network architecture. The Embedded Wireless Controller functionality empowers administrators with centralized management capabilities, enabling streamlined configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the wireless network. Administrators can efficiently manage access points and client devices through a single interface, simplifying network operations. The C9120AXI-EWC-H access point is designed to support Wi-Fi 6, delivering high-performance wireless connectivity and enhanced user experiences. It features advanced antenna technology and beamforming capabilities, optimizing signal coverage and improving network reliability.
