Overview:

Highest-performing outdoor wireless access point

The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series outdoor access point is ideal for both enterprise and carrier-class network operators looking to extend Wi-Fi coverage outdoors. It’s the industry’s highest-performing outdoor AP and supports the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac, with data connection speeds up to 1.3 Gbps. This industrial-grade AP supports 4x4 Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) smart antenna technology and three spatial streams for optimum performance.

The Aironet 1570 provides higher throughput over a larger area with more pervasive coverage. The AP is also well suited to high-density environments w here many users in close proximity generate RF interference that needs to be managed. Examples of environments that can benefit from the Aironet 1570 Series:

Outdoor enterprise campuses
Outdoor university and school campuses
Public venues: stadiums, train stations, airports
Service provider networks: Wi-Fi offload for mobile, fixed-line, and cable operators
Mining operations
Manufacturing yards
Municipalities
Large metropolitan areas

Features and Benefits:

The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series meets the demanding needs of customers across a broad range of industries spanning enterprises and service providers. It offers a scalable and secure mesh architecture for high-performance Wi-Fi services. It also addresses the expanding demand for Wi-Fi access services, network-to-network mobility, video surveillance, and cellular data offload to Wi-Fi.

The Cisco 1570 builds and expands on the successful 1550 series legacy of being the Wi-Fi outdoor AP of choice by service providers needing carrier-grade, ruggedized devices that are easy to deploy and maintain.

Feature	Benefit
802.11ac support with 4x4 MIMO, three spatial streams	Delivers higher data rates over a greater area with pervasive coverage than any competing AP. Provides a data rate of up to 1.3 Gbps, roughly triple the rates offered by today’s high-end 802.11n access points.
Maximum RF radiated power allowable on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios	Lets you use the fewest number of APs to get the greatest possible area coverage and highest throughput rates.
Cisco High-Density Experience (HDX)	Helps maintain network performance as Wi-Fi clients, APs, and high-bandwidth applications join and roam the network.
Cisco CleanAir Technology	Provides spectrum intelligence across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz channels to combat performance problems caused by wireless interference. Also part of Cisco HDX technology.
Cisco ClientLink 3.0	Uses true beamforming smart-antenna technology to improve downlink performance by up to 6 dB to all mobile dev ices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac. Increases smartphone and tablet battery efficiency by up to 50 percent. Part of Cisco HDX technology.
MIMO equalization	Boosts performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade and associated “dead zones”.
Cisco Flexible Antenna Port technology	Makes the AP’s external antenna ports software-configurable for either four dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) configuration or two pairs of single-band configuration with one pair operating at 2.4 GHz and the other at 5 GHz. This provides the operator with added flexibility in coverage options.
Modular architecture design	The architecture of the 1572E models provides the flexibility for a potential add-on module for future proofing and investment protection. For example, you could add external modules with technology options such as a 4G LTE picocell or a sensor. Such a module could be field-upgradeable to an existing 1570 network.
GPS support	Keeps track of the location of all outdoor APs deployed. With a built -in GPS receiver, the coordinates of the AP can be located by your WLAN controller or management system.
Central management using Cisco Prime Infrastructure	Network lifecycle management tool that integrates with Cisco Aironet APs and WLAN controllers to configure and manage y our wireless networks. Helps prevent costly maintenance service calls to outdoor locations. Network administrators have a single solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, network optimization, troubleshooting, security monitoring, and WLAN system management.
