Cisco Catalyst C9136I‑ROW Access Point

10.2 Gbps Aggregate Throughput | 16 Spatial Streams | Dual 5G Redundant Uplinks | Built‑In Environmental Sensors

Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst C9136I‑ROW is a high‑density, enterprise‑class Wi‑Fi 6E access point for stadiums, convention centers, large lecture halls, and dense office spaces. It unlocks the 6‑GHz band, delivering higher throughput, greater capacity, and significantly less interference than traditional 2.4/5‑GHz networks.

The AP features integrated internal antennas with a tri‑band architecture (8×8 5 GHz, 4×4 6 GHz, 4×4 2.4 GHz) providing 16 spatial streams. Optional quad‑radio mode (future upgrade) splits the 8×8 radio into two 4×4 5‑GHz radios for increased client capacity.
