The introduction of Wi-Fi 6 technology for small businesses underscores the importance of small business networks to Cisco and serves as proof of its commitment to this price-sensitive segment. The CBW150AX access point and CBW151AXM network extender are the latest additions to the Cisco Business Wireless product portfolio designed specifically for small businesses.
The CBW150AX access point and CBW 151AXM mesh extenders are the latest generation of the Cisco Business wireless product line. The main new feature/improvement is the implementation of 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6. These new APs provide better performance by increasing network efficiency and their ability to handle a greater number of devices.
A CBW mesh network must include a functioning CBW primary AP (CBW150AX) and at least one CBW Mesh Extender (CBW151AXM).
