campus, and metropolitan Wi-Fi networks within the Cisco wireless mesh networking solution, a
component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN).
Mesh networking employs Cisco Aironet 1500 Series outdoor mesh access points and indoor mesh
access points (Cisco Aironet 1040, 1130, 1140, 1240, 1250, 1260, 3500e, and 3500i series access points)
along with the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, and Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) to provide
scalable, central management, and mobility between indoor and outdoor deployments. Control and
Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol manages the connection of mesh access
points to the network.

End-to-end security within the mesh network is supported by employing Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) encryption between the wireless mesh access points and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
clients. This document also outlines radio frequency (RF) components to consider when designing an
outdoor network.
