Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

OL-9977-05

Overview

The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point) is a

wireless device designed for wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint

bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point is a standalone unit that

can be mounted on a streetlight pole or on a building wall or overhang.access point

The access point is available in two models: LAP1510 (supports 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios) and

LAP1505 (supports a 2.4-GHz radio).The access point provides client access and supports 6 to 54 Mbps

data rates without the need for a license. The LAP1510 model dedicates the 5-GHz radio for backhaul

operations to reach a wired network and uses the 2.4-GHz radio for wireless clients. The LAP1505 model

uses the 2.4-GHz radio for both backhaul and wireless clients.

The access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to a wired

network. Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the patent-pending Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol

(AWPP). This enables each access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal

path to the wired network by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number

of hops required to get to a controller.

The access point is configured, monitored, and operated through a Cisco wireless LAN controller

(hereafter called a controller) as described in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide.

The Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution describes how to plan and initially configure

the Cisco Mesh network, which supports wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh

deployments. The controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI),

or the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) network management system to manage the controller and

the associated access points. The access point is compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2) and

employs hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption between wireless nodes to

provide end-to-end security.
