Overview
The Cisco C9130AXI-EWC-E features an Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) integrated into the C9130AX Access Point, offering a streamlined solution for wireless network management. This integration consolidates the functionalities of a wireless controller within the access point hardware itself, reducing the need for additional hardware components. By embedding the controller within the access point, organizations benefit from simplified deployment and reduced infrastructure complexity. This design eliminates the need for a separate controller appliance, resulting in cost savings and streamlined network architecture. The Embedded Wireless Controller empowers administrators with centralized management capabilities, facilitating streamlined configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the wireless network. It supports advanced features such as dynamic RF optimization and client roaming optimization, enhancing network performance and user experience. The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on the C9130AX Access Point offers organizations a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient solution for managing wireless networks.
