The Cisco Aironet
®
1552WU Outdoor Access Point is the latest
model in the Cisco
®
Aironet 1550 Series. It is ideal for mining, oil and
gas, manufacturing, and process control applications. The 1552WU
merges the ruggedized outdoor
seamless solution for wireless sensor networks. The WirelessHART radio has been designed specifically for
mission-critical wireless connectivity to industrial sensor equipment. With a WirelessHART radio integrated into an
802.11n-based access point, a single solution addresses the growing need for wireless mobility while also
providing mission-critical connectivity for industrial sensing and monitoring equipment, such as gauges for water
treatment plants, sensors for chemical plants, and vibration monitoring solutions for oil rigs.
This allows customers to combine business use cases, such as:
●
Monitoring a chemical treatment plant while providing onsite security through wireless video surveillance
●
Monitoring the equipment and gauges on an oil rig while an onsite worker downloads schematics,
blueprints, or work instructions to a handheld Wi-Fi tablet
●
Providing real-time information to an onsite engineer about changes to processes and equipment so that
abnormalities can be dealt with immediately
The Cisco Aironet 1552WU Access Point is also Class 1, Div 2/Zone 2 hazardous location-certified. This means it
is designed specifically for hazardous environments like oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, mining pits,
manufacturing facilities, and process control applications. The 1552WU offers a single-box solution rather than
requiring two separate pieces of equipment - one for 802.11n and one for WirelessHART sensor networks.
