Features and Benefits

By adhering to the 802.11ax standard, the Cisco Business 151AXM Mesh Extender offers a data rate of up to 1.2 Gbps on its 5-GHz radio, surpassing the data rates provided by mesh extenders supporting 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2 standards. It also supports a total aggregate dual-radio data rate of up to 1 Gbps, ensuring it meets the performance demands of modern wireless users.

As small businesses increasingly favor wireless access as their primary network connectivity, there is a growing expectation for high-performance wireless experiences. The Cisco Business 151AXM Mesh Extender meets these expectations by delivering highly secure and reliable wireless connections, ensuring an optimal end-user experience.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

The IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac to deliver improved performance in typical environments. It supports advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and IoT, utilizing both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands.

Uplink/Downlink OFDMA

Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheduling divides bandwidth into smaller frequency allocations, called Resource Units (RUs), which are assigned to individual clients in both downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency.

Downlink MU-MIMO Technology

Supporting two spatial streams, Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) allows access points to distribute spatial streams among client devices, maximizing throughput.

Simplified Management

Deploy and manage multiple Cisco Business Wireless CBW150AX Access Points and CBW151AXM Mesh Extenders as a single entity using your web browser with the integrated WebUI or your mobile device with the Cisco Business Mobile app. Optional multisite remote management is available through the Cisco Business Dashboard, free for up to 25 devices.

Mesh Technology Support
