Outdoor Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Wireless Mesh
The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series operates with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) Software, centralizing key functions of wireless LANs to provide scalable management, security, and mobility that is seamless between indoor and outdoor deployments. Designed to support zero-configuration deployments, the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series easily and securely joins the mesh network, and is available to manage and monitor the network through the controller and WCS graphical or command-line interfaces (CLIs). Compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and employing hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption between wireless nodes, the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series provides end-to-end security.
INTELLIGENT WIRELESS ROUTING
The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series can be installed anywhere power is available, without the need for a network connection. Intelligent wireless routing based on the patent-pending Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol, which was designed specifically for wireless environments, enables a remote access point to dynamically optimize the best route to the connected network within the mesh, providing resiliency to interference and helping ensure high network capacity. Deployment and management costs for the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series are reduced through support of zero-configuration deployments and through the access points’ ability to self-heal in response to interference or outages. The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series dedicates a radio for access-point-to-access-point communications, allowing the mesh network to maximize use of the total available channels and minimize the occurrence of interference, resulting in more capacity than is available with solutions that use only a single radio. When more capacity is needed, additional sectors need only be enabled, such as by provisioning a network connection to a remote access point. The mesh will dynamically re-optimize itself when this is done.
