Summary
The Cisco Aironet 1520 Series is ideal for outdoor wireless deployments, scaling from enterprise
extensions of indoor wireless LANs to metropolitan-sized deployments. It supports a dual-radio
configuration that enables pico-cellular designs to deliver high system capacity and a single-radio
configuration that supports moderate capacity needs. Cisco's Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol
(AWPP), designed specifically for wireless environments, provides dynamic path optimization and
self-healing capabilities, making the Cisco Aironet 1520 Series easy to use and minimizing
management costs.
The Cisco Aironet 1520 Series is part of the innovative Cisco Unified Wireless Network. It works
with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and Cisco WCS to enable centrally, at a systems level, all
management, security, and mobility services capabilities. This allows the network to smoothly
operate across the indoor and outdoor wireless LAN.
Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Points deliver industry-leading
performance for wireless mesh networking.
