Dear Fellows,
I need help on the following scenarios.
1) Can you please confirm if Cisco 9115AXI Access Point can join to Cisco 1852I (Working as a Master Controller) and running Mobility Express.
2) Can you please confirm if Cisco 9115AXI Access Point can join to Cisco 1832I (Working as a Master Controller) and running Mobility Express.
If the answer to above questions is Yes, then please confirm which IOS Image needs to be run on it.
Regards,
Farhan.

But you could consider doing it the other way around.
Use the 9115 as your controller with the wave 2 APs connected to that.
On Catalyst 9100 series it's called EWC - Embedded Wireless Controller (on AP):

EWC runs on IOS-XE (same as 9800 series WLC) which in my opinion is better than ME on AireOS and will have a longer support lifetime.
