About This Product
The Cisco Catalyst CW9800M is a network management device designed to meet the demands of modern enterprises and large campus networks. With the capacity to manage thousands of access points and clients, this device ensures your network can support a vast array of devices and applications without compromising on performance or security. It features advanced connectivity options, including up to 25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, to cater to high-speed data transfer needs. Security is a priority, with support for encryption standards to protect your data and communications. The CW9800M is also designed for durability and reliability, with built-in fans and front to back airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Compliance with a wide range of standards ensures this device will integrate seamlessly into your existing network infrastructure, making it a valuable addition to any organization looking to enhance its network management capabilities.

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 is a fixed wireless controller with seamless software updates for midsize and large enterprises. It is feature rich and enterprise ready to power your business-critical operations and transform end-customer experiences:

• High availability and seamless software updates, enabled by hot and cold patching, keep your clients and services always on during planned and unplanned events.
• Secure air, devices, and users with the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40. Wireless infrastructure becomes the strongest first line of defense with Cisco Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) and Software-Defined Access (SD-Access). The controller comes with built-in security: Secure Boot, runtime defenses, image signing, integrity verification, and hardware authenticity.
• Built on a modular operating system, the 9800-40 features open and programmable APIs that enable automation of day-0 to day-N network operations. Model-driven streaming telemetry provides deep insights into the health of your network and clients.
• Cisco User Defined Network, a feature available in Cisco DNA Center, allows IT to give end users control of their very own wireless network partition on a shared network. End users can then remotely and securely deploy their devices on this network. Perfect for university dormitories or extended hospital stays, Cisco User Defined Network grants both device security and control, allowing each user to choose who can connect to their network.
• The Wi-Fi 6 readiness dashboard is a new dashboard in the Assurance menu of Cisco DNA Center. It will look through the inventory of all devices on the network and verify device, software, and client compatibility with the new Wi-Fi 6 standard. After upgrading, advanced wireless analytics will indicate performance and capacity gains as a result of the Wi-Fi 6 deployment. This is an incredible tool that will help your team define where and how the wireless network should be upgraded. It will also give you insights into the access point distribution by protocol (802.11 ac/n/abg), wireless airtime efficiency by protocol, and granular performance metrics.
• With Cisco In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), network downtime during a software update or upgrade is a thing of the past. ISSU is a complete image upgrade and update while the network is still running. The software image—or patch—is pushed onto the wireless controller while traffic forwarding continues uninterrupted. All access point and client sessions are retained during the upgrade process. With just a click, your network automatically upgrades to the newest software.
