Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Outdoor Wireless AP

OVERVIEW

High-Performance, Ruggedized, and Highly Secure Business-Class Wireless-AC Connectivity for Outdoor Spaces

Constant Wi-Fi access is becoming the norm in today’s always-connected world, both for an increasingly mobile workforce and for consumers. Moreover, mobile devices and social media applications continue to grow and proliferate, putting tremendous pressure on wireless networks, especially in outdoor user environments such as outdoor business campuses, school campuses, pools, and other public settings.

To stay connected, people need dependable, business-class wireless access to network applications anytime, anywhere, whether they are indoors or outdoors. The Cisco® WAP571E Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Outdoor Wireless Access Point is purpose-built to meet the demands of your outdoor spaces. The WAP571E access point offers a rugged housing built to handle anything from rain, snow, and even high or low temperatures.

The WAP571E Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Outdoor Wireless Access Point provides a simple, cost-effective way to extend highly secure, high-performance mobile networking to outdoor spaces. It uses concurrent, dual-band radio for improved coverage and user capacity. The 3x3 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology with three spatial streams allows the access point to run at maximum performance in both the 5.0-GHz and 2.4-GHz frequency. Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces with Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitates flexible installation and can reduce cabling and wiring costs. Intelligent quality-of-service (QoS) features let you prioritize bandwidth-sensitive traffic for voice over IP (VoIP) and video applications.
