I think you would be fine with 9120 or the 9130 with external antennas since it will be mounted pretty high up and you are already use that model. You just need to look at the various directional external antennas. Which one you should use really depends on having a site survey done so that you have the required coverage you need.

1. Get a site survey done correctly.

2. The first generation of Catalyst 9k APs, namely the 910x, 911x, 912x and 9130, are about to enter end-of-sale cycle this year. Look into the newly announced 917x family of APs.

@Scott Fella @Leo Laohoo

Thank you so much..

I see..

But , I am concernt with the temperature(above 40°C). Because, the place where i am going to install has no cooler.

So, i am thinking to choose the best model for this environment.

40°C is nothing.

The operating temperature of all Catalyst APs are from 0° to 50°C.

@Leo Laohoo
Thank you..

I am concerning because i saw below note.

Cisco Catalyst 9136 Series Access Points Data Sheet - Cisco

environment

Catalyst 9136I

● Non-operating (storage) temperature: -30 ~ 70 °C (-22 ~ 158 °F)

● Nonoperating (storage) altitude test: 77°F (25°C), 15,000 ft (4,600 m)

● Operating temperature: 0 ~ 50 °C (32 ~ 122 °F)

● Operating humidity: 10~90% (non-condensing)

● Operating altitude test: 40°C (104°F) at 3,000 m (9,843 ft)

Note: When the ambient operating temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C), the access point's 5-GHz radio capability transitions from 8x8 to 4x4. The Ethernet uplink is downgraded to 1G, but the USB interface remains enabled.

Then have a look at the 9163E.
