1532, Bridge

Question

I am proposing a 1532 AP to be used as a bridge between 2 buildings separated 500 m apart. My question is can these 1532's be used as a standalone  or we have to use a controller for this ? I coudnt find a document where it says it can be used as a stand alone. If it has to have a controller, which is the cheapest controller i can use ?
Also, it says it is POE, does it mean it can be powered through a swtich ? or does it need a power injector ?
Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, I believe you won't need a power injector.
The 1532 access point supports these power sources:
DC power – 24- 57 VDC
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
The 1532 access point can be powered via the PoE input from an in-line power injector or a suitably powered switch port. Depending on the configuration and regulatory domain, the required power for full operation is UPoE. For the
1532E, 802.3at power is sufficient for all regulatory domains and full 2x2 MIMO operation on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. Either the AIR-PWRINJ4= or the AIR-PWRINJ1500-2= power injector can be used.
