Years ago 4.1 code, cisco has a MESH code. Today, the current code supports both "regular" wireless operations and MESH operations. But, there is no indoor or outdoor code. You may find reference to indoor aps and outdoor aps.
Yes, it should work. If you have a indoor ap and outdoor 1500 ap and they are both in bridge mode they will connect. Signal wise. I have seen them connect as low as -85.

Hi,
There is no difference between indoor and outdoor mesh they are one and the same.

was reading the same linked doc and got confused about this:
Indoor Mesh Software
Indoor Mesh Software is a special release as it concentrates on the indoor APs, especially indoor mesh. In this release, we have both the Indoor APs working in Local mode and also in bridge mode
so, if there's an indoor mesh software, there must be an outdoor mesh software. and now, i know the answer.
thanks, experts!!!
So, if code 7.4 is used, will there be issues with/between indoor and outdoor mesh?
can i just put one 1131 inside a house, near a window where it has line of sight with a 1522 ap hangin' outside on a light post and,,, mesh will still work in this scenario? with this, i can rule out ehternet bridging and avoid the need for a switch on the remote sites.
if there is no line of sight between the outdoor and the indoor ap, what is the acceptable signal strength for the indoor ap to participate in the mesh network? is it even possible to mesh an outdoor ap and an indoor ap together without line of sight? how much should the signal strength be?
