High-Density Wireless Deployments
The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point is designed to support high-density wireless deployments. High-density wireless networks are common in environments where a large number of users need to connect to the network simultaneously, such as airports, stadiums, conference centers, and other public venues.
Here are some features of the AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 that make it well-suited for high-density wireless deployments:
- Scalability: The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 can be easily integrated with other Cisco wireless access points to create a scalable and flexible wireless network that can support a large number of users and devices.
- Dual-band operation: The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, which allows for greater flexibility in network design and helps to reduce interference and congestion.
- Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology: The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 features MIMO technology, which allows for multiple data streams to be transmitted and received simultaneously. This helps to increase the overall throughput and performance of the wireless network.
- High-speed data transfer: The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 supports data transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps, which is ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and online gaming.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 includes advanced QoS features that allow for the prioritization of data traffic based on its type, source, and destination. This helps to ensure that critical applications and services receive the necessary bandwidth and resources to function properly.
- Roaming: The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 supports seamless roaming, which allows wireless clients to move between access points without losing their connection to the network. This is particularly important in high-density deployments where users may be constantly on the move.
- Wireless mesh networking: The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 can be deployed as part of a wireless mesh network, which allows for the creation of a highly resilient and fault-tolerant wireless network that can provide coverage in even the most challenging environments.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Power Requirements
The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point is designed to receive power over Ethernet (PoE) from a network switch or injector. PoE allows the access point to be installed in locations where power outlets may not be available or accessible, simplifying the installation process.
The AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 supports PoE 802.3at, which can provide up to 30 watts of power to the device. The power consumption of the access point varies depending on the operating mode and the number of radios that are active. The power consumption can range from 12 watts to 22 watts, depending on the configuration.
To ensure that the AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 receives adequate power, it is important to verify that the network switch or injector provides sufficient power for the device. The power budget of the switch or injector should be checked to ensure that it can provide enough power for the access point and other PoE devices on the network.
In addition to PoE, the AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 can also be powered using an optional AC power supply. The power supply provides 100-240 VAC input and delivers 48 VDC output, which can be used to power the access point directly.
It is important to ensure that the AIR-CAP1552E-N-K9 is powered correctly and that it receives sufficient power to operate properly. Failure to provide adequate power can result in the access point not functioning correctly, reduced range, or even damage to the device.
