Flexible, High-Performance Mesh

The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Point offers a flexible, secure, and scalable mesh platform that is part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network and the Cisco Service Provider Wi-Fi solution. It offers highperformance mobility across large metropolitan-sized areas and enterprise campuses, manufacturing yards, and mining pits. Carrier-grade design allows service providers to take advantage of Wi-Fi for next-generation mobile data offloads. The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series provides high-performance device access through improved radio sensitivity and range with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, with three spatial streams. Multiple uplink and power options are available. The 802.3at-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 demanding environments. The external antenna models include the option to attach an external module to the Access Point and power off the 802.3at from that AP.

Cisco CleanAir Technology

The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series with Cisco CleanAir technology provides the highest-performance 802.11ac connectivity for mission-critical outdoor networks by detecting interference from unauthorized devices, as well as common outdoor interference sources, such as WiMAX networks and wireless bridging products. The 1570 Series uses chip-level intelligence to create a spectrum-aware, self-healing, and self-optimizing wireless network that mitigates the impact of wireless interference. Cisco CleanAir technology is a systemwide feature of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network that improves wireless network quality by detecting RF interference that other systems can’t recognize, identifying the source, locating it, and then making automatic adjustments to optimize wireless coverage.

RF Excellence

Building on the Cisco Aironet heritage of RF excellence, the Cisco Aironet 1570 Series delivers industry-leading performance for secure and reliable wireless connections. Industrial-grade parts, enterprise-class silicon-level intelligence, and optimized radios deliver a robust mobility experience. The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series provides a set of tools that deliver the robust, scalable wireless foundation required to realize the true potential of outdoor wireless mobility:

●Cisco ClientLink technology to raise uplink and downlink performance of and coverage to 802.11a/g/n/ac clients

●Radio resource management (RRM) for automated channel selection and power setting management of access points

●Advanced capabilities to select data rates, adjust power, and manage quality of service (QoS) for access points

Centrally Managed Mesh Network

Central management and troubleshooting of the Cisco outdoor wireless access points prevent costly maintenance service calls to outdoor locations. The Cisco Prime Infrastructure (CPI) works in conjunction with the Cisco Aironet Access Points and Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers to configure and manage the wireless networks. With CPI, network administrators have a single solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, network optimization, troubleshooting, security monitoring, and wireless LAN systems management. Cisco CleanAir technology is integrated into the CPI to provide real-time information on your outdoor network. Wireless network security is also a 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.

Cisco Aironet 1572EAC External Antenna Access Points

The Cisco Aironet 1572EAC Outdoor Access Points are the standard models, dual-radio system with external antenna ports that are compliant with IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards (2.4 GHz) and 802.11a/n/ac (5-GHz). The 1572EAC has four (4) external antenna connections which can be configured as a) four double-band 2/5GHz ports, or b) two pairs of single-band (2.4 & 5 GHz). They have Ethernet and fiber Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) backhaul options. These models also have a PoE-out (802.3at) port that can power a video surveillance camera or other devices. A Highly flexible AP, the Cisco Aironet 1572EAC is well equipped for municipal and campus deployments, video surveillance applications, mining environments, and data offload.

Cisco Aironet 1572IC/1572EC Cable Modem Access Points

Where service providers have already invested in a broadband cable network, the Cisco next-generation outdoor wireless mesh can seamlessly extend network connectivity with the Cisco Aironet 1572IC/1572EC access points by connecting to its integrated cable modem interface. The Cisco Aironet 1572IC/1572EC Outdoor Mesh Access Points are dual-radio systems with DOCSIS 3.0/EuroDOCSIS/JapanDOCSIS 3.0 (16x8 HFC) compliant cable modem for power and backhaul. They have dual-band radios that are compliant with IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) and 802.11a/n/ac (5 GHz) standards. The 1572IC has an integrated, four-element, dual-band antenna and easily fits within the 30 cm height restriction for service providers. The 1572EC has four external antenna connections, that can be configures as 2/5 GHz dual-band or two 2.4 GHz plus two 5 GHz ports that support Omni and directional antennas.

External and Integrated Antennas

The Cisco Aironet 1572E Outdoor Access Points can also use four Cisco AIR-ANT2568VG-N or four AIR-ANT2547VG-N Antennas. These dual-band, omnidirectional, stick antennas have a gain of 6/8 dBi or 4/7 dBi on bands 2/5 GHz respectively. The 1572 can also utilize a number of single or dual band antenna. A summary of those antennas is listed in the below table.
