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.
