1. Introduction to ISR-AP1100AC-ME-8-10-190-0.tar

This firmware package provides enhanced wireless controller functionality for Cisco ISR 1100 Series Integrated Services Routers with embedded access points operating in Middle East (ME) regulatory domains. Designed for deployment in enterprise branch offices, it combines IOS XE SD-WAN capabilities with optimized 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless performance under Middle Eastern spectrum regulations.

The software bundle includes radio resource management algorithms adapted for high-density environments and temperature resilience up to 55°C, addressing common operational challenges in ME region deployments. Compatible with ISR1100-4G/6G models manufactured after Q3 2024, this release supports concurrent operation of 8 SSIDs with WPA3-Enterprise encryption.

Cisco’s release notes indicate version 8.10.190-0 became generally available on March 15, 2025, featuring extended support for Oman Telecommunications Authority (TRA) spectrum requirements.
