✔ Pros:Supports the 6 GHz band for reduced interference and higher capacity; dual-management capability allows switching between Catalyst (on-prem) and Meraki (cloud) stacks; includes integrated environmental sensors for monitoring air quality, temperature, and humidity; dedicated scanning radio for security and CleanAir Pro RF optimization.
✘ Cons:Premium pricing for hardware and required management licenses; requires high-power PoE (UPOE) for full feature set and performance; 6 GHz band has limited range compared to legacy bands; complex licensing structure can increase total cost of ownership.
