1524 Multi-radio Mesh Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 1520 supports dual-band radios compliant with IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b/g
standards. Various uplink connectivity options such as Gigabit Ethernet (1000BaseT), and small form-
factor pluggable (SFP) for fiber (100BaseBX) or cable modem interface are supported. Support power
options include 480VAC, 12VDC, cable power, Power over Ethernet (POE), and internal battery
backup. It also employs Cisco's Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to form a dynamic wireless
mesh network between remote access points, while delivering secure, high-capacity wireless access to
any Wi-Fi-compliant client device.
