Flexible, high-performance mesh

The Cisco Aironet 1550 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 high-performance 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 1550 Series provides high-performance device access through improved radio sensitivity and range with 802.11a/b/g/n Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, with two spatial streams. Multiple uplink and power options are available. The 802.3af-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. To help ensure uptime for mission-critical applications even in the event that electrical power becomes unavailable, the Cisco Aironet 1550 Series offers an internal battery for backup power.

Cisco CleanAir technology

The Cisco Aironet 1550 Series with Cisco CleanAir technology provides the highest-performance 802.11n 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 1550 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 1550 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 1550 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 existing 802.11a/g 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

GPS capability

Keeping track of where outdoor access points are located in the network is an increasingly difficult problem for operators as their networks expand. To assist with this, some models of the Cisco Aironet 1550 Series are available with a GPS receiver and antenna. The GPS coordinates of the access point can be read by the controller or management system and used to locate each device on the map.

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 1552E/1552EU external antenna access points

The Cisco Aironet 1552E/1552EU 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 (5-GHz). The 1552E has three external antenna connections for dual-band omni or directional antennas. The 1552EU has six external antenna connections, three for 2.4 GHz and three for 5 GHz antennas, that support omni or directional antennas. They have Ethernet and fiber Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) backhaul options, along with the option of a battery backup. These models also have a PoE-out port that can power a video surveillance camera or other devices. Highly flexible models, the Cisco Aironet 1552E/1552EU are well equipped for municipal and campus deployments, video surveillance applications, mining environments, and data offload.

Cisco Aironet 1552C/1552CU 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 1552C/1552CU access points by connecting to its integrated cable modem interface. The Cisco Aironet 1552C/1552CU Outdoor Mesh Access Points are dual-radio systems with DOCSIS 3.0/EuroDOCSIS 3.0 (8x4 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 (5-GHz) standards. The 1552C has an integrated, three- element, dual-band antenna and easily fits within the 30 cm height restriction for service providers. The 1552CU has six external antenna connections, three for 2.4 GHz and three for 5 GHz that support omni and directional antennas. These models are perfect for 3G data offload applications and public Wi-Fi.

Cisco Aironet 1552I integrated antenna access point

The Cisco Aironet 1552I Outdoor Access Point is a low-profile, lighter-weight model in the 1550 Series. The smaller size and sleeker look helps it blend in with the surrounding environment. The smaller power supply also makes it a more energy-efficient product. The 1552I does not have PoE-out port, a fiber SFP port, or battery option.

Cisco Aironet 1552H hazardous location access point

This access point is designed for hazardous environments like oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, mining pits, and manufacturing factories. The Cisco Aironet 1552H Outdoor Access Point is Class 1, Div 2/Zone 2 hazardous location certified. It has options similar to the 1552E, with the exception of the battery backup.

External and integrated antennas

The Cisco Aironet 1552E and 1552H Outdoor Access Points use three Cisco AIR-ANT2547V-N Antennas. These dual-band, omnidirectional, stick antennas have a gain of 4 dBi (2.4 GHz) and 7 dBi (5 GHz). The Cisco Aironet 1552EU and 1552CU can utilize omni or directional antennas on each radio independently.

The Cisco Aironet 1552C and 1552I Outdoor Access Points include a dual-band, integrated antenna radome. This antenna has three omnidirectional antenna elements that have antenna gains of 2 dBi (2.4 GHz) and 4 dBi (5 GHz). More information, including antenna patterns, can be found in the Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Guide: https://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps469/index.html.
