2. Cisco Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Points
Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Points (APs) are ideal for both enterprise and carrier-class network operators.
They are the industry’s highest-performing outdoor APs and support the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac. The 1570
Series APs provide high throughput over a large area with pervasive coverage. A fully operational system contains
the following items:
1. Access point
2. Cable modem right-to-use (RTU) license (1572IC and 1572EC models only)
3. Software
4. External antennas (1572EAC and 1572EC models only)
5. GPS (optional)
6. Mounting brackets
7. Power source
8. Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP; optional)
9. Accessories (optional)
Table 2 lists the part numbers for 1570 Series access points in a variety of configurations.

Note 1: “x” is a placeholder for the regulatory domain designator. Please visit http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance
(Outdoor Access Points) to determine which regulatory domain is used in your country. Note that the regulatory domain used in
your country might differ depending on access point model, and that some models are not available for all countries.

Note 2: For the USA only, you must use regulatory domain - B instead of the traditional - A. This is due to the recent FCC rule
changes that opened up the 5 GHz UNII-1 band for outdoor usage.
Use Table 2 and the remainder of this guide to identify the items that you need for your deployment. Note that
some components are available as a “configurable” option or as a “spare.”
●
A “configurable” option ships in the same main box as the AP. For example:
AIR-ACCPMK1570-1 is a “configurable” option and, if so ordered, is shipped alongside the AP in the same
box.
●
A “spare” option is denoted with an equals (=) sign at the end of the part number. For example:
AIR-ACCPMK1570-1= is a “spare” and, if so ordered, is shipped in separate packaging.
If making a return or trade-in, you might need to remove any option you installed before returning your access point
to Cisco. Consult your Cisco representative for additional assistance in ordering mesh and other networking
equipment.
Table 3 lists the standard items that could be included with each specific model.

Cable Modem License
The cable modem (CM) license applies only to the two Aironet 1570 Series models that have built-in cable
modems, the AP1572IC and AP1572EC. These two AP models come with CM hardware capable of operating with
up to 24x8 channel bonding on the downstream (DS) and upstream (US), respectively. However, there is a right-touse (RTU) license (see Table 4) that must be selected in association with this hardware for the user to have the
right to operate these AP models. At a minimum, license option LIC-CM1570-08CH shall be selected in association
with AP1572IC and AP1572EC, even if the operator chooses not to use the CM. The RTU authorizes the user to
operate the CM hardware with up to 8, 16, or 24 bonded channels on the downstream. This RTU can be selected
as a “configurable” option at the time of the AP order, or as a “spare” at a later date. Note, however, that there is no
CM RTU upgrade part number available for this RTU license, and thus the user may want to consider purchasing a
16- or 24-channel license at the time of ordering if planning to upgrade the CM operation at a later time.

SW Cisco AP1570: Unified Local (e.g., 8.0.xxx) + IOS (e.g., 15.2.4-yyy); IOS added when available
Software Ordering Options
The 1570 Series requires, at a minimum, AP software release 8.0MR or later (see Table 5). Traditionally, additional
functions are available for the AP with more recent releases. Please see the applicable release notes for more
information about features available with the latest software releases. You can specify the AP to be loaded and
shipped with the default unified software as either “unified mesh” (SW1570-UM01A01-K9) or “unified local”
(SW1570-UL01A01-K9) mode during the ordering process.

Antennas
The Aironet 1572IC access point has four internal dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) antennas that reside under a sealed
random and cannot be accessed or configured by the user.
The Aironet 1572EAC and 1572EC access points are equipped with four separate N-type female connectors that
carry dual-band signals or, through software control, can be configured such that the bottom pair of connectors
carry only 2.4-GHz signals and the top pair carry only 5-GHz signals. This gives users multiple configuration
options, as shown in Figure 1.

*
All the above antennas are compatible with UNII-1 band operation under FCC rules except for (AIR-ANT2568VG-N).
For additional antenna specifications, see the Cisco Aironet Antenna and Accessories Reference Guide.
The access points are provided with a sealant tape to protect the antenna connector from weather. Consult the
installation guide for proper installation.
GPS
All Aironet 1570 Series access points have a built-in GPS receiver. To use the GPS functionality, you should order
and install a GPS antenna (see Table 7). The GPS antenna can be selected as a “configurable” option at the time
of the AP order or as a “spare” at a later date.
Table 7. GPS Antennas for the Cisco Aironet 1570 Series Access Points
Mounting Brackets
Aironet 1570 Series outdoor access points can be mounted on a cable strand, poles, or walls. Table 8 provides the
mounting options for each model.
