Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This professionally tested, refurbished Cisco Catalyst C9130AXI-B is a dual-band, dual-concurrent, enterprise-class Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) indoor wireless access point featuring internal antennas. Engineered for the B regulatory domain, the C9130AXI-B delivers up to 5.38 Gbps aggregate throughput across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, making it a high-performance solution for demanding campus and enterprise environments. Each unit ships fully reset to factory defaults with a Certificate of Testing.The C9130AXI-B supports up to four concurrent Wi-Fi radios: a flexible 5 GHz radio operating as either a single 8x8 or dual 4x4 configuration, a 2.4 GHz 4x4 radio, and a dedicated Cisco RF ASIC for spectrum intelligence. OFDMA and MU-MIMO enable simultaneous multi-client communication in both uplink and downlink directions, reducing overhead and latency in high-density deployments. The access point features a 1x 5GBase-T Multigigabit Ethernet uplink (UPOE), a USB 2.0 management port, integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5 radio for IoT and location services, and 2048 MB DRAM / 1024 MB flash. Power is supplied via 802.3at (PoE+) or 802.3bt (Cisco UPOE). Security is enterprise-grade with support for WPA3 and Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies. Compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers, Cisco DNA Center, and Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) mode.
WhaleyComm's refurbished C9130AXI-B delivers the same enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6 performance as a new unit at a fraction of the cost — backed by our Lifetime Warranty, ISO 9001-certified testing process, and 25+ years serving 5,000+ enterprise customers. For teams modernizing high-density wireless infrastructure on a controlled budget, this unit is the proven path forward.

Ideal Use Cases
High-Density Enterprise Campus Deployments
The C9130AXI-B's 8x8 MU-MIMO, OFDMA, and up to 5.38 Gbps aggregate throughput make it purpose-built for lecture halls, open-plan offices, and conference centers where dozens to hundreds of clients connect simultaneously.
IoT-Heavy Environments
The integrated Cisco RF ASIC and BLE 5 radio enable simultaneous management of traditional Wi-Fi clients and low-bandwidth IoT devices, making this AP ideal for smart buildings, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing floors.
SD-Access and Intent-Based Network Fabric
Native support for Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) and Cisco DNA Center allows network teams to automate policy enforcement and gain real-time analytics across a unified wired and wireless fabric.
Wireless Controller Refresh or Scale-Out
Compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers and AireOS, the C9130AXI-B slots seamlessly into existing Cisco wireless infrastructures as a direct upgrade from older Aironet access points.
Budget-Conscious Wi-Fi 6 Migrations
Organizations ready to migrate to Wi-Fi 6 without the new-unit price premium can deploy refurbished C9130AXI-B units — same specs, same performance, significantly lower capital expenditure.
Education and Healthcare Networks
The access point's ability to support up to 1,024 simultaneous clients, combined with WPA3 security and Cisco CleanAir interference mitigation, makes it well-suited for high-density, compliance-sensitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The C9130AXI-B is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point, backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. It delivers up to 5.38 Gbps of aggregate throughput across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using OFDMA and 8x8 MU-MIMO on the 5 GHz radio.
The C9130AXI-B is powered via 802.3at PoE+ (25.5W) or 802.3bt/Cisco UPOE (30.5W) — no power adapter is included in the standard unit. A compatible PoE+ switch port or the Cisco AIR-PWRINJ6= power injector is required for operation. Full 8x8 radio capability on the 5 GHz band requires UPOE; PoE+ limits operation to 4x4 on 5 GHz with USB disabled.
The C9130AXI-B works with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers, Cisco AireOS-based controllers, and supports Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) mode for controller-less deployments. It is also fully manageable via Cisco DNA Center for intent-based networking.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
