As the industry’s highest-performing outdoor access point, Cisco Aironet 1570 Series is the only one to date that supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 4×4 MIMO true beamforming smart antenna technology with three spatial streams. It is ideal for both enterprise and carrier-class network operators looking to extend Wi-Fi coverage outdoors.
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
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.
The Aironet 1570’s Main Features and Benefits
The Aironet 1570 Product Models and Antenna Options
The Cisco Aironet 1570 Series offers three model types: 1572EAC, 1572IC, and 1572EC.
More details about the three Aironet 1570 Models
1572EAC—E: External antenna; AC: AC power. It uses Cisco Flexible Antenna Port technology. It has four (4) N-type female external antenna connectors that can be configured as a 2.4/5 GHz dual-band port or two (2) 2.4 GHz plus two (2)5-GHz ports. The antenna options include single or dual-band and omnidirectional or directional.
1572IC—I: Internal antenna; C: Cable backhaul/power-over-cable. It combines four (4) dual-band, integrated antennas under a common radome. These antennas are omnidirectional with associated gains of 4 dBi and 6 dBi on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, respectively.
1572EC—E: External antenna; C: Cable backhaul/power-over-cable. It uses Cisco Flexible Antenna Port technology. It has four (4) N-type female external antenna connectors that can be configured as a 2.4/5 GHz dual-band port or two (2) 2.4 GHz plus two (2)5-GHz ports. The antenna options include single or dual-band and omnidirectional or directional.
