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.
