Cisco® Aironet® 1500 Series Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Points enable cost-effective, scalable, deployment of secure, metropolitan-scale wireless LANs. The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series is designed for municipal Wi-Fi deployments for public access, public safety, or managed services, and for enterprise campus outdoor Wi-Fi extensions.
The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series supports options for dual-band, simultaneous support for IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b/g standards with the 1510* model or single-band support for IEEE 802.11b/g with the 1505 model. Both models employ Cisco's patent-pending Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to form a dynamic wireless mesh network between remote access points, while delivering secure, high-capacity wireless access to any Wi-Fi-compliant client device.
The Cisco Aironet 1510 lightweight outdoor mesh access point's dual-radio configuration dedicates the 802.11a radio to access-point-to-access-point communications, allowing the mesh network to maximize all available channels, minimize the occurrence of interference from unlicensed devices and minimize latency. The dual-radio configuration delivers high system capacity through pico-cellular designs and support for various applications.
The Cisco Aironet 1505 lightweight outdoor mesh access point's single-radio configuration uses the 802.11b/g radio for data and access-point-to-access-point communications. The single-radio configuration is ideal for customers that have moderate capacity needs that can be met with a singe-band mesh solution. The single-radio configuration combines the deployment flexibility of a mesh network with the ease of management and mobility services delivered by the Cisco Unified Wireless Network.
