Through the evolution of Cisco’s wireless portfolio comes the next generation of 6GHz Wi-Fi. Cisco access points give you the flexibility to manage your wireless network on premises or in the cloud. With reliability, security, and applied AI with the choice to network your way with on-prem and cloud options, the Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points provide the best of both worlds while delivering flexibility and performance to meet your most critical network requirements.
Cisco understands that selecting your next platform is not an easy choice. With the Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points, you don’t need to make the decision now. Keep the operational mode you use today, whether on premises or cloud management. If your needs change-either way-it’s an easy switch. No new hardware required. That’s investment protection for your network that you can count on.

Hybrid Work
The Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points are the perfect fit for your hybrid work deployment. Hybrid work is all about creating safe, immersive work experiences that foster collaboration, ideation, and innovation. The Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points deliver the performance and features to optimize the hybrid work experience.
Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points deliver connectivity in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands as well as 6 GHz for compatible devices. Wi-Fi 6E offers greater capacity for more devices with more reliable connections, plus more robust security thanks to stronger Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) encryption.
With the Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points, you get capabilities based on decades of experience and innovation. This includes long-standing industry leadership with standards bodies and work with ecosystem partners to deliver next-generation features for your modern network needs.
• Intelligence: Through data from tens of millions of cloud-managed devices, Cisco’s platforms are continuously evolving and extending intelligence (AI/ML) to automate identification and, when necessary, resolution of access networking issues.
• Any operational model: A unified access networking portfolio with built-in security that brings together the broadest wireless portfolio (Wi-Fi 6E) under any operational model, on-premises or cloud.
• Ecosystem partners: Cisco has the industry’s most extensive ecosystem of technology partners to address emerging use cases such as location analytics, extended reality, industrial IoT, and more.

The Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points use the power of access network automation platforms like the Meraki dashboard and Cisco DNA Center to radically simplify operations, making it easier to embrace change and optimize user experiences.

Additionally, features such as Band Steering make the most of your Wi-Fi 6E network by intelligently steering devices to the high-performance 6-GHz band. And Cisco CleanAir Pro protects your network from the impact of wireless interference.

Either way you chose, on-premises with Cisco DNA or in the cloud with Meraki Dashboard, the Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6E access points deliver the performance of Wi-Fi 6E and the capabilities and flexibility to support your network now and into the future.

The Cisco Meraki MR series is an enterprise-grade line of cloud-managed WLAN access points that leverage the award-winning Cisco Meraki cloud-managed architecture to provide powerful and intuitive centralized management while eliminating the cost and complexity of traditional on-site wireless controllers. Meraki MR series APs are designed for challenging enterprise environments characterized by high-performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features with proven scale and reliability (99.9 cloud SLA) to support the most demanding use cases.
