Choosing the right access point

Cisco Catalyst 9120i and Cisco Catalyst 9120e (external antenna version)

Use cases for 9120i

● Aesthetics (carpeted areas)

● No additional antenna costs

● Less items to install

● Sometimes better for high ceilings

Use cases for 9120e

● Industrial applications requiring a higher temperature

● External or directional antennas are desired (inside/outside use)

● Longer range or need to focus energy

● Dual 5-GHz (covering different cell areas) directional/omnidirectional

● Use of legacy single-band antennas or different 2.4-GHz/5-GHz cells
