Curation Review
✔ Pros:Wi-Fi 6E tri-band for future-proofing; 10GbE uplink minimizes backhaul bottlenecks; Excellent for dense deployments (512+ clients); Integrated security with Catalyst 9800 controller; High throughput (11 Gbps) for bandwidth-intensive applications; Support for advanced features like Wi-Fi 6 OFDMA and MU-MIMO
✘ Cons:High power consumption (90W) requires robust PoE infrastructure; Expensive compared to Wi-Fi 5 APs; 6GHz band adoption still emerging in many regions; Requires compatible Cisco Catalyst 9800 controller for full management features; Complex configuration for enterprise deployments; Limited compatibility with non-Cisco ecosystem tools
