Outdoor Access Points - coverage a Large outdoor area

Hi all,
I would like a suggestion for coverage a large outdoor area. I have critical restrictions to perform any equipment deployment.
I have 2 km of radius to performe a wireless coverage, but I can put a Access Point just around the corners.Which AP and Antenna Cisco could I try to perform it?
Does Cisco have any antenna with 1 to 2 km of range ? Does any client will be can reply to this distance  (1 to 2km)?
What do you think about WiMAX ?
thanks,
Murilo

  • Cisco outdoor access point coverage request

    Dears,
    we need a documented recommendation from Cisco on our distances wireless coverage between two sites to go ahead on them and eliminate any problems during the implementation in the future.
             (Distance between two Buildings = 250 m)
             (Distance between two Buildings = 50 m)

    Rusty:
    AP supports up to 16 SSIDs to be configured.
    Multiple SSIDs with VLANs configuration is done almost the same way you do with current Aironet APs.
    see here: http://tiny.cc/0qwnkw
    You also need one power injector per AP. Each AP should use it's own power injector.
    The two coaxial output in the power injector both are used to be connected to the AP (see below image).
    The RJ-45 connectors in the power injector one of them is for Console connectivity and the other for network ethernet connectivity.

  • Outdoor Access points PoE power issues

    We are currently deploying 5 more 1530 Outdoor Access points to the existing 2504 wireless controller with 15 Airlap 1142n AP's.Now all the AP's are connected to the catalyst cisco 2960 switch.
    a)Is the catalyst 2960 switch supply enough power for the outdoor AP's or I have to use any external power injector source? 

    Is the 2960 370W or 720W?
    "The Cisco Aironet 1530 Series can be powered over the Ethernet connection with power directly from an appropriately powered switch port or from an inline power injector."
    The 1530s take:
    1530I: < 30 W
    1530E: < 25 W
    (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1530-series/data_sheet_c78-728356.html)
    AP1140: 12.95 W
    (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1130-ag-series/datasheet_c78-502793.html)
    So depending on the 2960 in question, I believe you may be able to power them up, do you have anything else hanging off the switch? 
    We had issues with lighting arrestors causing PoE failures in the past. Removing them cleared the issue.

  • Lightning Protection - Outdoor Access Point 1310 ?

    Hello,
    what exactly do i need to protect my Outdoor Access Points an the Infrastructure behind the AP? The Access Points are mounted on the roof of a building.
    Is the grounding kit enough? Do i need Lightning arrester? Is there a complete Manual or something like that?
    Thanks for your help! I search the whole day without finding any concrete advices..

    And how can i protect my equipment from a directly lightning strike? one of the Access Points is the highest Point on the roof. Is there an other way to protect it without a real lightning arrester? (not the Cisco product..)

  • Cisco aironet 1310 Outdoor access point

    I am looking at outdoor access points, I want to stick with Cisco aironet, we currently have 6 of them that are 6 years old and running great, one has had a problem because of humidity, dried it out and relocated and we are good again.
    I was looking at the Aironet 1310 Outdoor access point, but I can't find much information on it.  I am looking to see how many SSIDs can be setup, we currently have 2 one private, and one public, this is done with VLANS.  I am also looking at finding out about the power injector, it converts to coaxial cable, it has 2 RJ-45 and 2 Coaxial, does this mean if we get 2 access points, then I only need 1 power injector?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

  • Which outdoor access points to connect two buildings (500ft distance)?

    Hello,
    We have a client that needs to wirelessly connect two buildings at their location, around 500ft over a parking lot.  There are no significant line-of-sight obstructions.  Which outdoor access points would be most suitable for this, and what is the maximum speed we can expect from such a connection?
    Thanks
    Tim

    You can configure point-to-point wireless bridging.
    Wireless Bridges Point-to-Point Link Configuration Example
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008058f53e.shtml
    Next, you can use either indoor access point or outdoor/mesh access point.  I'd recommend indoor.  Since it's going to be point-to-point, no need to get an AP that can support 802.11n because it's not supported.  This brings your choices down to a Cisco 1242 (dual radios).
    In regards to antennaes, AIR-ANT2410Y is a contender.  Have a look at the complete portfolio for more information.

  • Wireless bridging is not working in 1552 outdoor access point and 2602e indoor access point.

    Hi,
    I am have been tested  wireless bridging with 2 indoor Cisco 2602 access point by following the attached document and its working fine without any issue. 
    After then I made one Cisco 1552 EU-M-K9 outdoor access point as RAP, then connect to this RAP with one 2602 mesh access point. But its not working, mesh access point is just start scan the signal to get associate with RAP, but not getting established. Is there any specific configuration required to connect between outdoor and indoor access point. Kindly find the attachment and advise.

  • Regarding cisco 1400 and 1500 outdoor access point doubt

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of installing 1400 outdoor access point in bridge mode .
    client has got three remote offices which will be connected through 1400 outdoor access point.
    but i came across about lightweight and autonomous version where i am quite confused.
    which version is available in market especially for 1400
    If i could get information about 1500 also , it would be great help .
    If i want to connect all the remote offices in brigde mode . which will be convinient for me ?
    If I could get any link with datasheet for both the access point seperately, it would be great.

    Hi,
    1500 is for MESH network.. 1400 is for bridging in autonomous mode.. most of the time we use 1400 for bridging between two diffrent sites..
    1400 bridges do not work in LWAPP mode.. its always Autonomous.. where in the 1500 canot work in autonomous as well and needs a WLC..
    here is the datasheets for 1400 and 1500..

  • Cisco 802.11n Outdoor Access Point

    I have to propose to a client a 802.11n outdoor Acess point with external antenna, tha gain must be >8 dbi.
    Which cisco model should i use ?

    I have to propose to a client a 802.11n outdoor Acess point with external antenna, tha gain must be >8 dbi.
    DO NOT, under any circumstances, use 1260 or 3500e if you plan to use antennas > 6 dBi.  These two models DO NOT SUPPORT antenna gain higher than 6 dBi.  The only two 802.11n-capable WAP that can support high-gain antenna of > 6 dBi are the 1250 and the 3500p.
    Antenna Product Portfolio for Cisco Aironet 802.11n Access Points
    The 1250 is End-of-Sale (End-of-Sale Date:  12 January 2012) and requires 20.0w of PoE.  The 1250 can support antenna gain > 6 dBi.
    The 3500p was released around mid-2011 because people were howling/screaming about the lack of high-gain antenna support, thus the 3500p was developed alongside the AIR-ANT25137NP-R.
    Cisco recommends that the installation of the AIR-ANT25137NP-R should be done with proper sight-survey.

  • Which Cisco Access Point is Waterprof ? (outdoor:BR1300 + AIR-ANT24120)

    hi,
    My questions to the community :
    i have to choose for a customer some 50 Access points but that must have an external antennas with at least  8 dbi as gain and to be waterprof
    for me the BR1300 + AIR-ANT24120 is a good choice if the BR1300 is Waterproof (For me :normaly all Cisco Access Point Outdoor must be WaterProof : but i want to have a confirmation with a document if possible )
    and it's interessant to knew ,which Cisco Access Point is Waterproof ?
    Think you All !
    Zammit Ikbel

    the 1310 is going to be waterproof, as is the 15xx product line, (152x and 155x).  All this can be found in the data sheet for the AP.
    That being said, you can also put any of the external AP into a NEMA enclosure, and have it be waterproofed, so long as the enclosure is rated as such.

  • Access Point Coverage Area

    Hi
    I want buy an Access point which cover 300 Meter coverage Area.
    Have any data sheet or link where I can found which AP coverage how many Area, Like 1042 Access Point cover how many Feet Space.
    Please Help.
    Regards
    Iqbal

    I would tell you about my experience with an AP with external antenna 2.2 dbi:
    It covers about 50+ meters (about 160 feets) in free space with acceptable coverage. You may also still get weak signal when you go further than that but it is not reliable and could get disconnected at any time.
    in a cubig zone the AP could be reachable up to 30 meters ( about 100 feets) only [more or less depending on furniture and material there].
    It also depends on the transmission power level at which your AP broadcasts the signal. In my prevoius explanation the highest power level is assumed.

  • Image Recovery for Cisco Aironet 1300 Outdoor Access Point

    We purchased two 1300 APs for outside. There is a new release for the image that we wanted to use so, we have the latest security updates. We downloaded, logged onto the access point just fine, but the image never took. After four hours with a direct connection, it was still going and this morning we came in and it just keep rebooting. Our network guy states it looks like a corrupt image. We can barely do anything and since there is no "mode" button like the earlier models, I have not found anything on web sites or forums to help us reload a good image to the access point. I would appreciate any insight someone has and/or where to look for this. I logged on and downloaded about every manual on the 1300 I could find, but have not found a good way to fix this. Not even the upgrade tool will connect since it just keeps rebooting.

    Hi Bruce,
    Because (as you correctly noted) the 1300 does not have a mode button you could try this method;
    Complete the steps in this section in order to reset Cisco IOS Software-based bridges:
    If the privileged command prompt ap# is available in the CLI, the write erase command and the reload command erase the startup configuration and reset the unit.
    If the GUI is available, choose System Software > System Configuration. Press the Reset to Defaults button.
    Aironet 1300 Series Bridges do not have a MODE button to reset the AP to factory defaults. So, if neither the GUI or CLI is available with sufficient privileges, complete these steps to delete the current configuration and return the entire bridge settings to the factory defaults using the CLI.
    Open the CLI with a Telnet session or a connection to the bridge console port.
    Reboot the bridge by removing and reapplying power.
    Allow the bridge to boot until the command prompt appears and the bridge begins to inflate the image.
    Press ESC when you see lines that are similar to these on the CLI:
    Loading "flash:/c1310-k9kw-7mx.v122_15_ja.200040314-k9w7-mx.v122_15_ja.20040314"
    ...#############################################################################Note: In order to access the boot loader, you must press ESC twice. But this action depends on the terminal-emulation software that you use.
    Messages that are similar to these appear:

    After the bridge reboots, reconfigure the bridge with the web browser interface, the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS Software commands.
    Note: The bridge is configured with the factory default values that include:
    The IP address, which is set to receive an IP address with DHCP. If you do not have a DHCP server, you can access the bridge using the default IP address of 10.0.0.1 using HTTP/HTTPS or Telnet. Once you gain access to the bridge via Telnet or GUI, you can modify the IP address of the bridge.
    Note: This default IP address of 10.0.0.1 becomes available only for a short period. So, make sure that you assign your own IP address to the bridge within that period of time.
    The default username and password, "Cisco".
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_password_recovery09186a00800949d0.shtml#ca_1310_ser
    One other thing, be careful with the new IOS that you aren't loading a LWAPP Recovery Image. (it almost sounds like what may have happened)
    Hope this helps!

  • Access point coverage

    Hi,
    I have some questions for mesh wireless network.
    1. In the wcs heat maps, usually the area over the access points show as green or blue as coverage. What is the reason if near one of the ap's this colour coverage doesnt appear, even though the ap is working fine.
    should anything be done on the wcs to rectify this?
    2. In the heat maps, each access point is connected to another with an arrow line based on its related as parent or child. Not all of them show as interconnected all the time ?
    3. Will the heat maps show even the secondary available path in the arrow line format always?
    4. If i want to test the mesh links for its redundancy , how should i go about it. Is it a feasible option or will the access points divert itself to another available ap in case its primary fails as it has the different neighbors with their signal ratings.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I could not exaclty understand some of your questions but let me try replying in general:
    Color indicates signal strength in the heatmap and there is a key on the MAP shows what is the signal strength represented by each color. Red and oragne indicate very high signal. Green indicates high signal. blue indicates good signal. When the blue goes darker it means the signal goes worse.
    Those APs you can not see connected through an arrow to another AP they are either:
    - RAP: they are a parent and can not connect to others but others connect to them. at that point no child APs connected to it.
    - A MAP that could not find any close parent to connect to.
    Parents may be changed if a MAP found another parent with better signal than the one it is currently connected to. If the current parent disappears or the connection with it becomes too bad and there is another AP with better signal the MAP will move to connect through that new parent.

  • Typical propagation distance of outdoor(1552E series) access point

    Hello All,
    I need to propose an design for outdoor WAP deployment for an huge resort. As it is a complete open space area without any obstruction, I believe the signal can be propagated easily in over 35 meters radius across the access point. However I don't get any documentation to know exact propagation distance.
    Could someone please share their experiences as to what is the ideal distance of signal coverage that could be covered by a typical Cisco outdoor access point? I do not want to go for over quoting as that might result from the client opting for other vendor's product. I would thus want to go with most appropriate plan.
    Also apart from 11ac capability and multiple spatial streams, does 1570 AP have any other major improvement as well our its predecessor 1552E series AP.
    Please share your expereinces.
    Best Regards,

    Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
    There are many factors that affect your Wireless Networking Performance that are dependent on various areas within the network itself from the technology of the devices used, the local environment the signals will travel through, the fundamental physics behind wireless transmission and more. Some of these cannot be avoided and measures must be taken to try to minimise the negative affect that these factors will have on the network performance but others can be resolved completely either though equipment upgrading or good network planning.
    There are some well known factors that affect Wireless Networking performance that most people will identify easily but that does not lessen their importance when considering network planning, these are:
    Obvious Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
        Physical Obstructions
        Network Range & Distance between Devices
        Wireless Network Interference
        Signal Sharing
    Quite Well Known Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
        Network Usage & Load
        Poorly Deployed Antennas
        Local Environment Characteristics
        Spectrum Channel Limitations
        Signal Reflection
        Wireless Signal Restriction
    Lesser Known Factors Affecting Wireless Networking Performance
        Transmitter Power Limitations
