The Cisco Catalyst IW9165D is a ruggedized, high-performance wireless access point designed for fixed infrastructure deployments where running fiber is impractical or cost-prohibitive. With built-in directional antennas, external RF options, and support for Wi-Fi 6/6E or Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB), this model enables long-range, high-throughput wireless communication in the most demanding outdoor and industrial settings.
Built with a robust IP67 enclosure, the IW9165D thrives in environments exposed to dust, water, temperature extremes, and vibration—making it ideal for transportation corridors, remote facilities, and utility sites. The unit can serve as a fixed backhaul node in mesh networks, point-to-multipoint configurations, or connect mobile assets along a trackside or wayside deployment.
