New CW916x APs EWC

Hi,

I've seen the announcement that the new batch of AP's will either be C9800 controller based or Meraki cloud managed based.

When I look at the datasheet I can't seem to find embedded wireless controller functionality.

 

Does that mean that there won't be a non-licensed option in the future?

For very small customers it's a good thing to be able to just sell hardware for a simple pre shared key deployment with 10 AP's.

Because every-man-and-his-dog can have free access to EWC software.  

9162, 9164 and 9166 will have the option to be managed by 9800 WLC or Meraki Cloud.  

IMPORTANT:  Make the right decision (9800 or Meraki Cloud) because converting them from one to the other is going to be very painful.
