Cisco Outdoor Mesh Access Points
Cisco outdoor mesh access points comprise of the Cisco Aironet 1500 series access points. The 1500 
series includes 1552 11n outdoor mesh access points, 1522 dual-radio mesh access points, and 1524 
multi-radio mesh access points. There are two models of the 1524, which are the following:
The public safety model, 1524PS
The serial backhaul model, 1524SB
Note
In the 6.0 release, the AP1524SB access point was launched in A, C and N domains. In the 7.0 release, 
the AP1524SB access point is launched also in -E, -M, -K, -S, and -T domains.
Cisco 1500 series mesh access points are the core components of the wireless mesh deployment. 
AP1500s are configured by both the controller (GUI and CLI) and Cisco WCS. Communication between 
outdoor mesh access points (MAPs and RAPs) is over the 802.11a/n radio backhaul. Client traffic is 
generally transmitted over the 802.11b/g/n radio (802.11a/n can also be configured to accept client 
traffic), and public safety traffic (AP1524PS only) is transmitted over the 4.9-GHz radio.
The mesh access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to 
a wired network. Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol 
(AWPP). This Cisco protocol enables each mesh access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently 
choose the optimal path to the wired network by calculating the cost of each path in terms9 of the signal 
strength and the number of hops required to get to a controller.
AP1500s are manufactured in two different configurations: cable and noncable.
The cable configuration can be mounted to a cable strand and supports power-over-cable (POC).
The noncable configuration supports multiple antennas. It can be mounted to a pole or building wall 
and supports several power options.
Uplinks support includes Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and a small form-factor (SFP) slot that can be 
plugged for a fiber or cable modem interface. Both single mode and multimode SFPs up to 
1000BASE-BX are supported. The cable modem can be DOCSIS 2.0 or DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 3.0 
depending upon the type of mesh access point.
AP1500s are available in a hazardous location hardware enclosure. When configured, the AP1500 
complies with safety standards for Class I, Division 2, Zone 2 hazardous locations. For more details, see

Cisco Aironet 1552 Mesh Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 1550 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point is a modularized wireless outdoor 802.11n 
access point designed for use in a mesh network. The access point supports point-to-multipoint mesh 
wireless connectivity and wireless client access simultaneously. The access point can also operate as a 
relay node for other access points that are not directly connected to a wired network. Intelligent wireless 
routing is provided by the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). This enables the access point to 
identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the wired network by calculating the 
cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of hops required to get to a controller.
