Features and Benefits

The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series meets the demanding needs of customers across a broad range of industries spanning enterprises and service providers. It offers a scalable and secure mesh architecture for high-performance Wi-Fi services. It also addresses the expanding demand for Wi-Fi access services, network-to-network mobility, video surveillance, and cellular data offload to Wi-Fi.

The Cisco 1570 builds and expands on the successful 1550 series legacy of being the Wi-Fi outdoor AP of choice by service providers needing carrier-grade, ruggedized devices that are easy to deploy and maintain.

Table 1 describes the Aironet 1570’s main features and benefits.

Table 1.

Primary Capabilities and How You Benefit

 

 

 

Feature

 

Description/Benefit(s)

 

 

802.11ac support with 4x4

Delivers higher data rates over a greater area with pervasive coverage than any competing AP. Provides a

MIMO, three spatial streams

data rate of up to 1.3 Gbps, roughly triple the rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11n access points.

 

 

Maximum RF radiated power

Lets you use the fewest number of APs to get the greatest possible area coverage and highest throughput

allowable on both 2.4 and 5

rates.

GHz radios

 

 

 

 

Cisco High-Density

Helps maintain network performance as Wi-Fi clients, APs, and high-bandwidth applications join and roam the

Experience (HDX)

network.

 

 

Cisco CleanAir® Technology

Provides spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz channels to combat performance problems

 

 

caused by wireless interference. Also part of Cisco HDX technology.

 

 

Cisco ClientLink 3.0

Uses true beamforming smart-antenna technology to improve downlink performance by up to 6 dB to all mobile

 

 

devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac. Increases smartphone and tablet

 

 

battery efficiency by up to 50 percent. Part of Cisco HDX technology.

 

 

MIMO equalization

Boosts performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade and associated “dead zones”

 

 

Cisco Flexible Antenna Port

Makes the AP’s external antenna ports software-configurable for either four dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz)

technology

 

configuration or two pairs of single-band configuration with one pair operating at 2.4 GHz and the other at 5

 

 

GHz. This provides the operator with added flexibility in coverage options.

 

 

Modular architecture design

The architecture of the 1572E models provides the flexibility for a potential add-on module for future proofing

 

 

and investment protection. For example, you could add external modules with technology options such as a 4G

 

 

LTE picocell or a sensor. Such a module could be field-upgradeable to an existing 1570 network.

 

 

 

GPS support

 

Keeps track of the location of all outdoor APs deployed. With a built-in GPS receiver, the coordinates of the AP

 

 

can be located by your WLAN controller or management system.

 

 

Central management using

Network lifecycle management tool that integrates with Cisco Aironet APs and WLAN controllers to configure

Cisco PrimeInfrastructure

and manage your wireless networks. Helps prevent costly maintenance service calls to outdoor locations.

 

 

Network administrators have a single solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, network optimization,

 

 

troubleshooting, security monitoring, and WLAN system management.

DOCSIS 3.0 Capabilities

DOCSIS3.0 with up to 8x4, 16x8, and 24x8 Downstream (DS) x Upstream (US) channel bonding capability for Hybrid

 

Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) cable modem (CM) options. The CM protocols include NA-DOCSIS3.0, Euro-DOCSIS3.0 and

 

Japan-DOCSIS3.0. The NA-DOCSIS3.0 is offered with either (42/88 MHz or 85/108 MHz) diplexer split. The Euro and

 

Japan DOCSIS are offered with (65/108 MHz) diplexer split.

 

 

 

 

NA-DOCSIS3.0, Euro-DOCSIS3.0 24x8 cable modem provides up to:

 

 

 

 

● Twenty four (24) bonded channels on the downstream with total throughput of up to 912 and 1200 Mbps respectively

 

(maximum usable throughput without overhead)

 

 

 

 

● Eight (8) bonded channels on the upstream with total throughput of up to 216 Mbps (maximum usable throughput

 

without overhead)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

● Designed to meet DOCSIS 3.0 specifications as well as backward compatibility with existing DOCSIS2.0 networks.

 

● Enhanced packet processing technology to maximize performance.

 

 

 

 

Channel-bonded cable modems must be used in conjunction with a cable modem termination system (CMTS) that

 

supports channel bonding per the DOCSIS3.0 specifications. When used with a non-channel-bonded CMTS,

 

channel-bonded cable modems function as conventional DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data Rates Supported

2.4 GHz - 802.11b/g: 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps
