Feature Benefit
Flexible, integrated dual-radio
Dual-radio option provides separate channels for the mesh infrastructure and client
access, enabling pico-cell design, minimizing system interference, and delivering high
system capacity.
Complies with 802.11a and 802.11b/g standards for interoperability with any Wi-Fi-
compliant client.
Supports optional wireless backhaul over the 4.9-GHz band for reduced interference for
public safety licensees.
Single, integrated design simplifies deployment and management.
Standards-based LWAPP
Centralizes functions of wireless LANs at Cisco wireless LAN controllers to enable
intelligent, system-level device and RF management, security, and mobility across and
between subnets.
Provides a consistent WLAN architecture between indoor and outdoor deployments.
Managed through easy-to-use and intuitive interfaces on Cisco wireless LAN controllers
and Cisco WCS software.
Security
X.509 digital certification prevents unauthorized devices from joining the wireless mesh
network.
Hardware-based AES encrypts access-point-to-access-point traffic to help ensure
privacy.
The Cisco wireless LAN controllers define the security policy for centralized
applications.
Supports 802.11i, WPA2, and WPA standard security authentication and encryption for
interoperability with any Wi-Fi-compliant client. Supported EAP types include subscriber
identity module (SIM),Protected EAP (PEAP), Transport Layer Security (TLS), Tunneled
Transport Layer Security (TTLS), and Cisco LEAP.
EAP / PSK is supported for mutual authentication between mesh access point nodes
Zero-touch configuration
deployment
Allows access points to securely join the wireless mesh network without needing to be
configured on site at installation, reducing deployment costs.
Simplifies installations of new mesh access point when Bridge Group Names (BGN) are
used.
Radio Resource Management
(RRM)
Interoperates with software at the controller to create an intelligent RF plane for self-
configuration, self-healing, and self-optimization.
Detects interference from existing, unrelated WLAN access points and adjusts the RF
parameters to optimize network performance.
Quality of Service
Support for 802.11e Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) provides quality of service and seamless
roaming for high-priority traffic such as voice or video.
Provides differentiated services for high-priority traffic.
Enables public safety and enterprise voice over IP (VoIP) and video applications.
Multiple Basic Service Set
Identifiers (BSSIDs)
16 BSSIDs allow multiple virtual WLANs for different user types, such as public access,
municipal services, police, or fire departments, and also enable wholesale business
models.
Uplink options:
Cable Modem DOCSIS 2.0
with Cable Power Supply
Fiber Interface with
100BaseBX SFP
1000BT Gig Ethernet
Provides a flexible, cost-effective, and speedy deployment using various uplink
connectivity options.
Internal battery backup Increased availability and reliability of network during power outages.
802.3af compliant Power over
Ethernet (PoE) out
Provides flexibility and speedy deployment of IP devices in the field that connect to the
mesh access point
Rugged Enclosure Maximizes network uptime through reliability in severe weather conditions, including rain,
lightning, wind and vibration from storms or road traffic.
Summary
The Cisco Aironet 1522 is ideal for outdoor wireless deployments, scaling from enterprise
extensions of indoor wireless LANs to metropolitan-sized deployments. It supports a dual-radio
configuration that enables pico-cell designs to deliver high system. Cisco’s Adaptive Wireless Path
Protocol (AWPP), designed specifically for wireless environments, provides dynamic path
optimization and self-healing capabilities, making the Cisco Aironet 1522 easy to use and
minimizing management costs.
