Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points

Other
We want to renew and refresh our Wireless Network infrastructure. We want to replace all our controllers like 5520 and 5508. And set up new Cat9800 controllers with Azure and DC. All old AP will be replaced by 9120 and 9120AX. Unfortunately, there is a problem with receiving the hardware (we had to wait one year). Also the number of wireless devices increases, and stable WiFi is important for the organization. Also, the number of SIDs will be reduced. This product will be used in the whole organization.
  • Operate with clients from different vendors
  • Cover the area with good signal strength
  • We can choose a different models of AP with inside/outside antennas
  • Firmware distribution between access points
  • Replace web auth certificate without reloading WLC controllers
  • The issue with expired MIC certificate - but this is not an issue with 9100
  • New AP with new hardware revision works only with the new WLC firmware

Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points are a great product, we are removed others WiFi solution and we focus only with Cisco Wireless product.
We tested 9100 on the WLC9800 and WLC5508. That's true, this is great product which can be use in whole organization, also in meeting room, office room and warehouse or production areas.
product have to be delivered to us - it takes few months (for same location - 1 year). local IT have to connect this device to the network and inform the network team - 1 day, device is up and running (firmware will be downloaded within 1-2h and device is connected up and running). 12 months to receive a product 1 day to connect up and running
yes,
We have got 12 or more WLC55xx located in different location, now we are run a project to use only 9800 product in the cloud and in DC.
We have got great network availability across the word (sites connected by the sdwan solution). We have got AP in Australia connected to WLC in cloud.
this is different product,
I choose Access Point because now i'm involved in wireless project in my organization.
We have got Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points installed in our warehouse, office rooms, etc. - this works well. Also AP (maybe not AP itself but the WLC is well integrated with ISE product). The OfficeExtended AP is not available for the WLC9800.
