Outdoor Access Points
Wireless networks enable people, devices, and applications to stay continually connected with applications and information. The Cisco® wireless mesh network extends wireless access over large, metro-scale areas, extending into areas where wiring is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The wireless mesh can be easily deployed and maintained with zero-touch configuration deployment and self-healing capacity. The Cisco Outdoor Wireless Mesh Solution is a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, delivering a robust wireless network with maximum capacity and uptime.

Flexible, Secure Mesh Platform for Demanding Environments
The Cisco Aironet® 1520 Series Lightweight Outdoor Access Points are a flexible, secure, and scalable mesh platform that is designed for deployments across large metropolitan-sized areas. As part of the Cisco Unified Network architecture, the wireless mesh can be seamlessly deployed as an extension of wired and wireless networks, with central management through controllers and the Cisco Wireless Control System. The unified architecture centralizes critical functions of the wireless LAN to provide scalable management, advanced security, seamless mobility, and proven reliability. With maximum ratio combining (MRC) technology, the access points provide greater access range for consumer-grade client devices throughout the wireless mesh network. Rugged enclosures allow deployment in extreme weather and hazardous environments, and can be painted to adapt to local aesthetics.

Central Network Management
Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is the industry-leading platform for wireless LAN planning, configuration, and management. Cisco WCS provides a powerful foundation that allows IT managers to design, control, and monitor wireless networks from a centralized location, simplifying operations and reducing the total cost of ownership. The Cisco WCS works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance. With Cisco WCS, network administrators have a single solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, network optimization, troubleshooting, security monitoring, and wireless LAN systems management. Robust graphical interfaces make wireless LAN deployment and operations simple and cost-effective.

Robust Unified Security
The Cisco mesh solution addresses wireless network security as part of a unified wired and wireless solution. Cisco Wireless Network Security offers the highest level of network security, which helps ensure that data remains private and secure and that the network is protected from unauthorized access. The Cisco intrusion prevention system (IPS) protects your entire network by identifying, classifying, and preventing known and unknown threats to your network.

Flexible, High-Performance Mesh Solution
All of the Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Lightweight Outdoor Access Points provide high-performance device access through improved 802.11b/g radio sensitivity and range performance with maximal ratio combining (MRC) technology. Flexible deployability and multiple uplink options and power options are available. The 802.3af-compliant, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface makes it easy to connect IP devices, such as IP video cameras. NEMA Type 4X enclosures help ensure a robust system that can withstand rough weather conditions. The Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Access Points are Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 140-2) certifiable for applications that require this standard. To help ensure uptime for crucial applications even in the event that electrical power becomes unavailable, the 1520 Series offers an internal battery for backup power.
