Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Point (hereafter called the access point or AP) is a
wireless outdoor access point which is designed for use in a variety of network configurations. The
access point supports wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and
point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity.
About the Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Point (hereafter called the access point or AP) is a high
performance outdoor access point designed for service in outdoor and mesh networks.
All versions of the access point have simultaneous dual-band radio consisting of an 802.11ac Wave 1
4x4:3 5 GHz radio and 4x4:3 802.11n 2.4 GHz radio. The access point versions which have a cable
modem, support up to 16x8 channel bonding.
The 1570 series access points have both internal and external antenna versions.
The internal antenna versions (AIR-AP1572IC versions) are optimized for service provider applications
using cable modem or fiber for data backhaul, rely on power-over-cable as the primary power source,
and provide GPS capability as an option.
The external antenna versions (AIR-AP1572E versions) have four dual band capable external antennas
ports. These versions support power over Ethernet input (AIR-AP1572EAC version only), power over
Ethernet output supporting up to 802.3at devices, internal AC or power over cable power supply options.
The access point can be 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 controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco
Prime Infrastructure (PI) network management system to manage the controller and the associated
access points. The access point supports hardware-based advanced encryption standard (AES)
encryption between wireless nodes to provide end-to-end security. The access point can also be deployed
in an autonomous mode and be configured via the CLI.
