Outdoor Access Points (Cage)

[latenaite2011]

Does anyone have any recommendation for a cage for an outdoor Access Point? (Model Cisco Airnet 1540). This Access Point will be mounted at top of the building near the roof and it is pretty high so vandalism may be rare but can still be possible with a high end ladder. This has indoor antenna so need to make sure that there is no covering of the antennas; otherwise, I have to go with external Antennas.

Any suggestions?

Oberon and Terrawave both have NEMA enclosures with locks.  

As to which AP, it will depend entirely on the wireless site survey.

Yes, it was AIR-AP1562I-B-K9 sorry.

I checked and Terrawave has one for model 1570.   Sent them an email to see if that would work for the 1562 model as well.

thank you!

The 1560 has similar footprint to the 1530.  So ask Terrawave and Oberon that (otherwise they might get confused). 

Have you also considered the IW3702?

[latenaite2011]

Thanks.

The IW 3702 will not work as we need a newer generation (Wave 2).  Talking to Terrawave now.

thank you all!

1540 Access Point?  You mean a 1520, 1532, 1550, 1560 or 1570?
