The innovatively designed Cisco Aironet 1530E Outdoor Access Point is designed with antenna Cisco Flexible
Antenna Port technology, which can support either dual-band or single-band antennas on the same platform and is
configurable via software. When configured for dual-band ports, the Aironet 1530E uses the bottom two antenna
ports to connect to dual-band omnidirectional or directional antennas. Alternatively, and for additional radio
coverage flexibility, the Aironet 1530E can be software-configured, enabling two separate 2.4-GHz and two 5-GHz
antenna ports (Figure 2). This flexibility allows customers to use high-gain directional antennas for backhaul on 5
GHz while deploying omnidirectional antennas for access on 2.4 GHz. Refer to the Cisco Aironet 1530 Series
Ordering Guide for the latest information on supported antennas.

Flexible, High-Performance
The Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Points offer a flexible, highly secure, and scalable platform that is
part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network and the Cisco Service Provider Wi-Fi solution. The Cisco Aironet 1530
Series provides high-performance device access through improved radio sensitivity and range with 802.11a/b/g/n
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, with two or three spatial streams and up to 300-Mbps data rates.
Carrier-grade design allows service providers to take advantage of Wi-Fi for next-generation mobile data offloads.
The Aironet 1530 Series can be deployed in the following configurations:
●
Access point: Either in controller-based or standalone operation, provides Wi-Fi connectivity concurrently to
clients on both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios.
●
Mesh network: as dedicated backhaul or universal access, the 5-GHz radio is used for wireless network
connections to adjacent mesh nodes.
●
Bridging: Provides point-to-point, high-capacity data links, as well as point-to-multipoint bridging for
campuses.
●
Workgroup bridge: Enables LAN mobility, such as on a vehicle.
●
Serial backhaul: Extends linear mesh with two colocated Aironet 1530 Series access points connected via
the LAN port (Figure 3).
