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,
Muhammed Adnan

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
    Backwards Compatibility with Older Standards
    Polarisation of Signal
    Speed Loss Due to Wireless Overheads
    Lowering Performance to Stay Connected

  • 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector - Using power over ethernet

    Can I use power over ethernet to supply the Injector with power?

    Hi Mikael,
    Sorry, this will not work. Have a look at these specs;
    1300 Series Power
    Power
    The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
    The power injector is available in two models:
    Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2 standard version (included with the access point/bridge)
    48-VDC input power
    Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the access point/bridge)
    Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T optional transportation version
    12- to 40-VDC input power
    Note The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The power module must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

    Dual coaxial cable to run from the power injector to the 1300. See attached notes:
    Cisco Aironet 1300 Series
    Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector
    The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Power Injector,converts the standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface that is suitable for weather protected areas to a dual F-Type connector interface for coax cables that are more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The Power Injector also provides power to the outdoor unit over the same cables with a power discover feature and surge protection. To support longer cable runs from your wireless network switch or router, the Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate up to a 100 meter coaxial cable run plus 100 meters of indoor cat5 cable?enabling total cable runs up to 200 meters. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge ships with the Power Injector LR2 and an AC power supply.

  • Bridging with 1131 Ag series access point.

    Hi,
    I want to use 1131 AG series access point for bridging between two buildings which are 20 metres apart from each other.
    Is it possible and what are the limitation for this design?
    Please help.
    thanks in advance.
    Pulkit Sharma

    Hi Pulkit,
    The autonomous 1130AG series access point supports these operating wireless modes:
    ? Root access point?Connected to a wired LAN and supports wireless clients.
    ? Repeater access point?Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point, and supports wireless clients
    ? Workgroup bridge?Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point or bridge, and supports wired network devices.
    As this unit was not designed to be use outdoors, having a clean RF line of sight is really difficult. To be honest I do not think this unit was designed to connect two remote buildings even if the units are indoors. I would look for APs with detachable antennas like the 1242AG or the 1200 modular series so you can use external antennas and bridging roles.
    Hope it helps,
    Roger Carpio.

  • Cisco 1524 Aironet Outdoor Wi Fi Access Points

    I am using Cisco 1524 Aironet Outdoor Wi Fi Access Points for outdoor Wi-Fi Coverage with WiSM Controller.

  • Need to disable AP mode multicast in 1231 series access point

    Hi
    I have one controller 2504 and some 1200 series access points.I am using 3 SSID .I want to use two ssid in HREAP mode but HREAP mode is not showinh in access point because multicast is enabled on AP mode.Please see the below picture
    I have disabled the multicast globally from CLI.
    config network multicast global disabled
    Please help me in disabling the multicast so that i can set the access point in HREAP mode.
    Thanks ....

    Hi George
    I have found a document in which it is mentioned which platform are supported..
    These are the restrictions to remember while you use H-REAP.
    Hybrid REAP is supported only on the 1130AG, 1140, 1240, 1250, 1260,           AP801, AP 802, 1040, and AP3550 APs and on the Cisco WiSM, Cisco 5500, 4400,           2100, 2500, Flex 7500 Series Controllers, the Catalyst 3750G Integrated           Wireless LAN Controller Switch, and the Controller Network Module for           Integrated Services Routers.
    But why it is giving an remark on controller tab that multicast is not supported with HREAP on this platform ?
    Is this the limitation of cisco 2504 controller or the limitation of 1231 access point ?
    Does that mean i can use my SSID in HREAP mode if i am using 1231 series access point ?
    Thanks...

  • 1600 series Access Point

    i want to know 1600 series Access Point support the below or not :-
    1)Support up 64 Users
    2)VPN pass-through support
    3)Wireless Distribution System
    4)Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64-bit, 128-bit encryption

    Hi Peter,
    will you use this AP as standalone or  with Controller ?
    1. Normally, the AP is a shared medium and acts as a wireless hub, the performance of each user decreases as the number of users increases on an individual AP. Ideally,as rule of thumb not more than 25 clients should associate with the AP because the throughput of the AP is reduced with each client that associates to the AP.
    2. VPN connection will work with this AP.
    3. WDS supported.
    4. yes, It supports.

  • Setting time on 1130AG series Access Point

    I noticed on one of my clients AP's which is an 1130AG series that it had a setting for SNTP. I was a little surprised that it did not have the capability to use regular NTP.
    The SNTP servers configured for the AP were two Cisco routers.
    Is this a common configuration? Is there a way to upgrade so that the AP's can use NTP?
    The current code on the AP is 12.3(8)JA.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    The commands for this changed from NTP to SNTP somewhere in the 12.2.x releases, so "older" AP IOS's did support NTP. Here is some info for 12.3.(4)JA;
    Managing the System Time and Date
    You can manage the system time and date on the wireless device automatically, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), or manually, by setting the time and date on the wireless device.
    Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a simplified, client-only version of NTP. SNTP can only receive the time from NTP servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other systems. SNTP typically provides time within 100 milliseconds of the accurate time, but it does not provide the complex filtering and statistical mechanisms of NTP.
    You can configure SNTP to request and accept packets from configured servers or to accept NTP broadcast packets from any source. When multiple sources are sending NTP packets, the server with the best stratum is selected.
    If multiple servers are at the same stratum, a configured server is preferred over a broadcast server. If multiple servers pass both tests, the first one to send a time packet is selected. SNTP will only choose a new server if it stops receiving packets from the currently selected server, or if a better server (according to the above criteria) is discovered.
    Configuring SNTP
    SNTP is disabled by default. To enable SNTP on the access point, use one or both of these commands in global configuration mode:
    sntp server {address | hostname}
    [version number]
    Configures SNTP to request NTP packets from an NTP server.
    sntp broadcast client
    Configures SNTP to accept NTP packets from any NTP broadcast server
    Enter the sntp server command once for each NTP server. The NTP servers must be configured to respond to the SNTP messages from the access point.
    If you enter both the sntp server command and the sntp broadcast client command, the access point will accept time from a broadcast server but prefers time from a configured server, assuming the strata are equal. To display information about SNTP, use the show sntp EXEC command.
    Hope this helps!

  • 1200 Series Access points

    I have an problem with multiple access points losing the ability to telnet to them.They access points work fine but the only way I can get the ability to telnet back is to restart them. Has anyone else had this problem.

    I am using Radius. This is what the config looks like.

  • 3600 Series Access Point Problem

    Have a AIR-CT5508-K9 Controller running 7.0.116.0 software.
    Just purchased 3 AIR-CAP3602I-A-K9 access points.
    When these try to join the controller we receive the following error message.
    %CAPWAP-3-UNSUPPORTED_WLC_VERSION: Unsupported version 7.0.116.0 on WLC Plt-72-Controller-1
    Do the 3600's require a certain revision of code?
    Also I read were the 3600's require a GE connection. Will they work on a FE connection?
    Please advise.....................

    Yes, you need to be funning 7.2 code for the 3600 to join and work.
    Make sure you check the release notes for hte supported AP, incase you are running any that are not supported in 7.2

  • Symbol Netvision Phone w/Cisco 1200 series Access Point

    I am running 802.11b access point my phone can associate and get an ip address from my call manager but I keep getting "not registered" "registered". I and then I lose association to the access point. I have 2 vlans on one access point one for voice and one for data. Please let me know if someone has a work around or a fix.
    Stan

    Stan,
    Sounds like you have an interference problem.
    What did your site survey show up in terms of other AP's and overlapping coverage areas ? Try a new channel that has the 2 channel separation from other busy channels and maybe even try a new/better placement of the AP
    effectivly what you have now is the equivalent of pulling out the cable and plugging it back in constantly on a standard IP phone this means you will not be able to make calls
    What firmware you running on the AP ?

  • Does WLC 2500 series spupports 1262 series Access Point?

    Does AIR-CT2504-25-K9 spupports AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9  Access Point? How can I check this?

    AFAIK, the 2504 supports anything in the 7.0.116.0 Release Note.  It should be called out in the release note if the 2504 does not support anything in particular.
    Since the 1262 is the non CleanAir version of the 3502e, which is only availabile in 7.0+ anyhow, I would have to imagine it is supported in the new WLC.

  • Configuration of cisco aironet 1260 series access point..??

    i hv a cisco aironet 1262n access point and a normal router(without wlan)  with a broadband connection
    now i want to use my access point as a wifi hotspot 
    but i am not able to access it, through web browser
    i dont know how i connect wires so that i am able to access "  AP access page" and also i forgot its IP address too so can u pls tell me how do i reset it to default 

    Your AP is most likely loaded with a controller-based IOS.  You can easily convert this to autonomous IOS.

  • Specific OID for A radio modules on 1200 series access points

    Is there a specific OID for A radio module cards of the following type:
    Flap - AIR-RM21A-A-K9
    Dipoles - AIR-RM22A-A-K9

    No switches in Cisco's current product line provide enough power to support both radio modules in the 1200 series. The (now optional) power injector for the 1200 will provide enough inline power for both radios, if that is an acceptible option.
    Cisco has plans for several switches that will be able to provide inline power to both radios, but I am not aware of ETA's on these.
