Product Details

Cisco Catalyst 9115 EWC-AP Series provides these features and benefits:

Resiliency

• With active and standby controllers running simultaneously on two 9100 access points, redundancy keeps your network, services, and clients always on, even in unplanned events

• Seamless software updates enable faster resolution of critical issues and introduction of new access points with minimal downtime

Security

• Rogue detection, classification, and containment

• 802.1X supplicant support on EWC-AP

• Walled garden and DNS ACLs

Management

• Cisco DNA Center for Automation and Assurance

• Dashboard (web browser) and easy-to-use mobile app for deploying, provisioning, and monitoring

• Standards-based interoperability tools using programmable interfaces

• Open standards-based programmability with NETCONF and YANG

Guest

• Central web authentication, local web authentication, and BYOD

• Cisco DNA Spaces integration for personalized and relevant guest experience

Intelligent Capture

• Intelligent Capture probes the network and provides Cisco DNA Center with deep analysis. The software can track over 240 anomalies and instantaneously review all packets on demand, emulating the onsite network administrator. This feature allows for more informed decisions on your wireless networks

Apple features

• Apple and Cisco have partnered to create an optimal mobile experience for iOS devices on corporate networks based on Cisco technologies. Using new features in iOS 10, in combination with the latest software and hardware from Cisco, businesses can now more effectively use their network infrastructure to deliver an enhanced user experience across all business applications

• At the center of the collaboration is a unique handshake between the Cisco WLAN and Apple devices. This handshake enables the Cisco WLAN to provide an optimal Wi-Fi roaming experience to Apple devices. Additionally, the Cisco WLAN trusts Apple devices and gives priority treatment for business-critical applications specified by the Apple device. This feature is also known as Fast Lane

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and RF features

• Cisco RF Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC): On 9100 access points with the RF ASIC, the access point can perform advanced RF spectrum analysis and delivers features such as Cisco CleanAir®, Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), Fast Locate, * and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) detection( * Future)

• Uplink/downlink OFDMA: Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based scheduling splits the bandwidth into smaller chunks called Resource Units (RUs), which can be allocated to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency

• MU-MIMO: Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) enables access points to split spatial streams between client devices to maximize throughput

• BSS coloring: Spatial reuse (also known as Basic Service Set [BSS] coloring) allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions

• Target Wake Time (TWT): TWT is a new power-saving mode that allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the access point. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to 3x to 4x compared to 802.11n and 802.11ac

• Flexible Radio Assignment: Allows the access points to intelligently determine the operating mode of serving radios based on the RF environment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of the C9115AXE-EWC-Q integrated controller? +
The C9115AXE-EWC-Q features an integrated Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC), allowing this access point to serve as a master controller for other APs within the network. This eliminates the need for a dedicated physical appliance for smaller deployments, streamlining network architecture while providing robust management features directly from the access point hardware.
Does the C9115AXE-EWC-Q support Wi-Fi 6 standards? +
Yes, this model fully supports the 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6. It utilizes OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies to provide higher capacity, reduced latency, and improved efficiency in high-density environments. It is designed to handle multiple client devices simultaneously while maintaining stable, high-speed throughput across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
What are the advantages of the external antenna support on the C9115AXE-EWC-Q? +
The 'E' designation in this model signifies external antenna support. This provides the flexibility to install specific antennas tailored to your environment's unique coverage requirements, such as high-ceiling warehouses or areas needing directional signals. By using specialized antennas, you can optimize signal strength and beamforming capabilities beyond what is achievable with standard integrated omnidirectional antennas.
How does the C9115AXE-EWC-Q manage power consumption requirements? +
This access point is designed to operate efficiently within standard 802.3at (PoE+) power budgets. When connected to a PoE+ switch, the AP operates at full functionality. While it can often run on 802.3af (PoE) power, performance may be throttled, so we recommend utilizing a PoE+ capable switch to ensure all radio chains and management features remain fully operational.
Is the C9115AXE-EWC-Q compatible with Cisco DNA Center? +
Yes, this access point is fully compatible with Cisco DNA Center for automation, software-defined access, and advanced analytics. It integrates seamlessly into a Cisco DNA ecosystem, allowing administrators to automate the provisioning of the embedded wireless controller and gain deeper visibility into client performance, security threats, and network health through a centralized management dashboard.
What deployment scenarios are best suited for the C9115AXE-EWC-Q? +
This model is ideal for small-to-medium-sized businesses or branch office environments that require enterprise-grade wireless without the overhead of a separate hardware controller. Its external antenna configuration makes it particularly well-suited for challenging indoor spaces where aesthetic or signal-shaping requirements necessitate specific antenna placement rather than a traditional ceiling-mount deployment.
How are security and rogue detection handled on this device? +
The C9115AXE-EWC-Q provides comprehensive security through Cisco's integrated security protocols. It includes dedicated radio sensors for persistent security monitoring, rogue AP detection, and WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) capabilities. These features ensure that unauthorized access attempts are identified and contained immediately, protecting your wireless infrastructure from common air-interface threats and unauthorized client connectivity.
Can I expand my wireless network beyond the single C9115AXE-EWC-Q unit? +
Absolutely. Because this unit acts as an Embedded Wireless Controller, you can easily scale your network by adding additional compatible Cisco 9100 series access points. The EWC will manage the configuration, firmware, and radio resource management for the additional units, creating a unified and seamless roaming experience for your users throughout the entire office facility.
