Wireless Deployment

afernandez0226 — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 00:30:28 GMT

I want to build autonomous wireless N network with about 10 indoors AP and 3 Outdoors AP. I have Cisco 3560 PoE switchs. The network will have IP phones. Can you guide me to the right AP to buy.

I forgot to add that I need this deployment to be done ASAP. So much appreciated

Try the following:

For AP's that are geared up for 802.11N (Draft 2.0):

Data Sheet Cisco Aironet 1140 Series Access Point

If you are going to choose the 1250, note that the Antennaes are optional. Here's some information regarding them.

The AP1250, when operating with 2 radio modules on Autonomous IOS, requires a minimum of 18.5 watts (ePoE). So you'll need either a Power Injector or PoE switch that will support enhanced PoE such as the 3560-E or 3750-E.

Hope this helps.

Hi Antonio,

Before you begin purchasing the necessary equipment, have you considered conducting a Wireless Site Survey?

With 10 Indoor AP's, would you consider for a Wireless LAN Controller? I'd recommend the WLC-4402-25.

I am using AirMagne for the site survey. Right now I have not budge for the Wireless LAN Controller; so which model of indoor and outdoor AP can I use to build a Autonomous Wireless Network 802.11n with out using a Wireless LAN Controller.

Hi Antonio,

The AP's mentioned above are indoor AP's built for Draft N (2.0 Ratified). Unfortunately, the 1500/1520 and 1300 outdoor Meshed AP are only A/B/G only.
