Setup outdoor wireless

I work at a garden. We have many activities in the summer. I setup outdoor wireless using Cisco 1310 wireless bridges, one is root bridge and other is non-root bridge. I find if the non-root bridge behind a tree, the signal reduce from excellent to low. I am using Omni directional antenna. If I have Yagi antenna, will that help? Can I add another AP/repeater/bridge behind the non-root bridge? If yes, how to configure them? Or any other suggestion.
The configuration can be found here:
Sample of Cisco 1310 Wireless Root Bridge
http://www.howtonetworking.com/cisco/rootbridge.htm
Sample of Cisco 1310 Non-Root Bridge Configuration
http://www.howtonetworking.com/cisco/nonrootbridge.htm

This is what we like to do.
Building Switch +++ cat 5 +++ Root Bridge ? 100 feet ?-- 1st Non-root bridge ?-- 200 feet 2nd non root bridge. Between the root bridge and non-root bridge is limited 100 feet because there are some trees and it is not clear path.
So far first two bridges (root bridge and 1st non-root bridge) works fine. We would like to cover more area and we may have another wireless client that can?t reach the 1st non-root bridge, so we need to add 2nd non-root bridge. Do you think if this design is possible? If yes, how to configure it.

Outdoor Wireless 1500 series in mesh

Hi,
we have installed a wireless outdoor setup in point to point. i need to get a few doubts cleared on outdoor wireless tech.
1) does cleanair in 802.11a work and if so will it detect any interference between the two outdoor ap's ( i read that 802.11a doesnot support cleanair, and this is not client access. i need to only detect any inteference between the RAP and MAP)
2) What is the usual downtime on 802.11a while dynamic channel selection happens. i have seen disconnection in some cases upto 20 mints on 801.11a band.
3) what is the recommended datarate between RAP and MAP (i have read to keep 25mbps now it is in auto, is this ideal)
appreciate your help,
regards,Arjun

Hi Emmett,
Sadly there are no 1300 Series with "A" or "N" Radios.
For "A" try the 1400 Series
For "N" try the 1250 Series

Outdoor wireless Bridge

Hello,
I am looking for recommendation on a Cisco Wireless Bridge, to bridge between two buildings about 500m to 1km appart.
Can someone with this experience please recommend what wireless bridge will satisfy this need.
Product number would be helpfull, so I can find it on the Cisco site.

We use the 1410 that has a built in antenna. A coupel of years ago we installed some with external panel antennas, but saw no advantage. The internal antenna eliminates one more point of failure, the coax and connector required for an external antenna.
The 1400 series is built like an army tank and is ready to mount outdoors with no additional enclosure.
We are using them in one-to-one bridge mode, and also in an access point mode serving up to five or six buildings all looking at it with their 1400 series bridge.

Outdoor wireless iphone speaker

hi, im looking for a rugged, good quality wireless outdoor speaker for my iphone 5, any suggestions?

How could a firmware update conceivably change the size of the headset jack, (or any other aspect of the phone hardware)? Are you serious??
Either there is debris in the jack you don't see, or the plug has become bent or corroded. Did you try plugging in something else like the iPhone headset? If that fits, the problem is with the speaker plug. If not, the problem is in the jack, and you should blow it out with canned air (never by mouth).

Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Camera

Can anyone give me any information on electrical hookup with these cameras. Do they use regular plugs or must I wire them up special?
I would love to put a wireless camera on the ceiling at my front-door but there is no electrical outlet.
The same goes to where I'd want the outdoor camera.
Please advise

Not sure what you mean mounted in the wall. Both units come with a base. I have my indoor camera sitting on a shelf and the outdoor camera is mounted to a post in my yard. There are no other wires besides the 110 plug.

Outdoor wireless mesh deployment for major events

I am interested to hear if anyone here has any experience in setting up a large scale wireless mesh deployment that covers an area that are a few blocks.
1. How do you deal with 2.4ghz interference as 2.4ghz and 5ghz band are unregulated. I'm not able to use 5ghz as the end devices are smartphones that do not support 5ghz.
2. How do you deal with the backhaul capacity as each hop for Cisco Wireless Mesh would result in a 50% drop in network throughput.
3. How do you deal with installation of the wireless mesh APs in public areas. Do you install this on a mast and leverage on the lamp post to provide power? Or do you talk to building owners to install the APs on the top of buildings? What are the challenges you face in installing wireless mesh APs in a public area.

Hi David,
Here is some info that might help.

Outdoor Wireless Mesh Design Question

Hi,
We have a wireless mesh network which currently is having some connectivity issues.
One of the main issues we are seeing is with RRM configured the Mesh Access points seem to all select Channel 11 on the 2.4ghz frequency.
I would ike to modify manually, although wondering if best practice is to use RRM or select manually.
Thanks
Brad

Hello Bradley,
We'll, if you have WCS then a mismatch would happen with the cnofig template on WCS (if you have one).
There could possibly be an AP template on the WCS to set the radio for the APs automatically.
This is from Configure -> AP Configuration Templates -> Lightwieght AP.
From this location you can configure a template with the AP settings and push it to the APs you want. You can also schedule the time at which the template will be applied. A recurrence also can be configured.
So make sure that:
- No mismatch between WCS and WLCS (you can go to Configure -> Controllers and try to audit differences between WLC and WCS).
- Save your configuraiton on WLC if you apply it from WLC.
- Make sure that there are no AP templates on WCS with recurrence configured.
To avoide any mismatch in the future, I suggest you do all your configuration from WCS. This way you'll save time (if you have more than one WLC) and you'll also make sure configuration is consistent among all controllers.

Outdoor wireless point to point design help

I need to extend a wireless signal from one building, to an elevated metal enclosure approximately 310 feet away across a parking lot. The enclosure has 3 metal sides and a metal roof. The front is almost entirely one big picture window. The building across the parking lot from the enclosure that I need the wireless signal to reach from faces the metal back side of the enclosure.
Currently a yagi antenna is mounted on the building roof and is pointed at the enclosure across the parking lot. The antenna is connected to an old 1231 access point inside the building.
This configuration does not work. The signal reaches weakly to the outside of the enclosure, but disappears entirely once inside the enclosure itself. My guess is that the metal back and sides is blocking the signal from the yagi antenna on the roof across the parking lot. Signals from other access points in the neighborhood can be seen inside the box, and I'm guessing those signals get through because they're in line with the big window in the front of the metal box.
How do I get the wireless signal inside of this metal box? If I install another antenna on the roof of the enclosure that will boost the signal to the outside of the structure, but how do I get the signal inside? Even if I place an access point inside the structure and run a cable to the outside antenna, won't the signal itself still be outside?
How do I get the wireless signal from the building across the parking facing the metal rear of this enclosure to reach inside the enclosure?
For those who are wondering - the elevated metal enclosure sits on top of a row of bleachers and looks out over a sports field. It's used by sportscasters to broadcast sporting events and upload game information to a website. That's why they need wireless inside.

How do I get the wireless signal inside of this metal box?
With difficulty.
You need to poke holes under the metal box (to prevent water from coming up to the AP) and stick the antenna OUTSIDE. The metal will act as a reflector.

Outdoor wireless routers

We are using motorola canopy SM's and AP's. For distribution to the end user we are using these piece of shit nanostation routers...they have little to no penetration. If we wanted to establish a wifi hotspot within a thickly settled/dense area like apartments, condos, or houses on top of each other what kind of router would you suggest we use in conjunction with the motorola gear?

WLC + Mesh APs.

Outdoor Wireless Mesh 1524 AP Power Question

Hello Group,
I curious, if I have a 1524PS AP that I would like to power from a power pole and the power pole does not have a street light or street light power control on it today but it does have 480V/277V power source, can I still use the power source directly by wiring the 40ft power cable in directly. I would think not, but I am getting a lot of questions about this lately so I am looking here for some help.
From the cisco documentation it says we can use 480V power sources. However, its a bit ambiguous in some places stated that it can be done if you use a street light power tap - is this just a power cord or does it include some sort of transformer as well?
My understanding is that most 480V systems in scenerios like this are 2-phase. However according to the cisco documentation for the 1524 AP you can power the AP via 90-480V power source. I am little nervous to try that here. I know 277V can be dangerous. Will the Cisco AP support cutting the existing power cord (40ft) and wiring it directly into a 277V/480v power source off the light pole? I have been getting conflicting reports from the documentation and others. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Is the AP power supply capable (via a transformer of some sort) of converting direct 277/480V power to something usable via the AP? The 40 ft power cable supplied with the AP looks like its made for 110/240 only so cutting and rewiring it hot into the 277V source could be dangerous correct?
If someone could give me a definately answer here it would be greatly appreciated. We can't proceed until we figure this out.
Thanks in advance

Cisco WLC 5508 Wireless Outdoor Mesh

I noticed that the 5508 requires a plus license feature upgrade in order to support Enterprise Wireless Mesh. My understanding is that enterprise wireless mesh is indoor wireless mesh support. Will the 5508 support outdoor wireless mesh without the plus license feature set?
Thanks in advance

"Enterprise Wireless Mesh" should just refer to Indoor Mesh.
The 1520's are Mesh only devices and aren't part of the Enterprise Wireless Mesh. So, as far as I know, the 1520s are fully supported in the 5508.
Unfortunately, I do not have any supporting information to back this up.

Wireless Outdoor Networking

Hi Guys,
I have been doing a fair bit of work with indoor wireless networking. I was wondering if I could ask a couple of questions about outdoor wireless networks if I may :).
1. Wireless Mesh Networking. Is this really a solution to interconnect buildings over wireless with point-to-point connectivity?
2. How does a service provider like "the cloud" provide access over an area with wireless connectivity for end users? What kind of wireless network design would be employed here? Would they just have lots of APs in shopping malls that you would have like an indoor network, and how do they get the service coverage in open spaces, like roads, parks etc etc.
I am looking for info on both types of outdoor networks. Point to point only to connect buildings and flooding SSIDs within a large outdoor area in which customers can connect?
Can anyone help me, as this is a very interesting subject.
Also, have I got the term correct. A wireless Mesh network is for point to point wireless networks?
Many thx indeed,
Ken

Hi Ken,
Wireless Mesh is a different concept altogether, and it's really not intended to be used as a point-to-point bridge. Mesh is a way to deploy access points in an outdoor space or anywhere that's difficult to run a LAN cable to. This AP will use the 2.4GHz band for client connectivity, and it will send all backhaul traffic across the 5GHz link to another AP. As long as the 5GHz backhaul eventually finds a Mesh AP that is connected to the Ethernet network, it will have connectivity.
One of the best uses for Mesh is for large parking lots. You can mount an AP on a light pole, but you'd never want to run an Ethernet cable all the way out there. Instead, you'd use a Mesh AP and have the 5GHz radio pointed back at your office building, where another Mesh AP is plugged into the local network. So now your clients/customers can connect wirelessly to the AP in the parking lot, and the parking lot AP sends this data wirelessly to your building.
It's called Mesh because you can have a literal mesh of APs scattered across large regions, some of which are connected to the network, others of which are isolated with wireless backhauls. Cisco runs a proprietary algorithm for calculating the best path for traffic to flow to get to an AP with a network connection.
As for your question about a "cloud" company, it all depends on the design. You can install indoor APs that connect to antennas outside, and these can connect your clients. Mesh can be a better solution, but sometimes it's not needed when only small areas need to be covered. Plus, Mesh is far more expensive than a traditional design, especially since it requires wireless LAN controllers. But as for large areas like you're talking, such as roads and parks, Mesh is certainly the best way to go.
I hope that's more of what you're looking for. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Jeff
