Aironet 1572EAC Wireless Access Point

Highest-Performing Outdoor Wireless AP

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 where 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
