Outdoor Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Wireless Mesh
 The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series operates
with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and Cisco Wireless Control System
(WCS) Software, centralizing key functions of wireless LANs to provide
scalable management, security, and mobility that is seamless between
indoor and outdoor deployments. Designed to support
zero-configuration deployments, the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series easily and
securely joins the mesh network, and is available to manage and monitor
the network through the controller and WCS graphical or command-line
interfaces (CLIs). Compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and
employing hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption
between wireless nodes, the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series provides
end-to-end security.
INTELLIGENT WIRELESS ROUTING
The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series can be installed anywhere power is
available, without the need for a network connection. Intelligent
wireless routing based on the patent-pending Adaptive Wireless Path
Protocol, which was designed specifically for wireless environments,
enables a remote access point to dynamically optimize the best route to
the connected network within the mesh, providing resiliency to
interference and helping ensure high network capacity. Deployment and
management costs for the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series are reduced through
support of zero-configuration deployments and through the access points’
ability to self-heal in response to interference or outages. The
Cisco Aironet 1500 Series dedicates a radio for
access-point-to-access-point communications, allowing the mesh network
to maximize use of the total available channels and minimize the
occurrence of interference, resulting in more capacity than is available
with solutions that use only a single radio. When more capacity is
needed, additional sectors need only be enabled, such as by provisioning
a network connection to a remote access point. The mesh will dynamically
re-optimize itself when this is done.
