What is the power source for Site B AP? Cisco 1562D AP 25W power. Make sure AP get's full power to enable its radios.

You can confirm the AP radio operational status on the ME controller by checking AP View page.

Hello,

How come controller display 450 Mbps max data rate on 2.4GHz for a 2702i, is that a cosmetic bug ?

On all my 2702i it display Max. Data Rate : 217 Mbps(2.4GHz) as specification in doc.

so low power is reason for the not a broadcast SSID ?

Correct. Cisco 1562 requires full power to enable radios. If it gets less than required 25W power, it'll shutdown radios. 

Refer Table 3. Compatible PoE Standards: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9100-access-points/215467-cisco-access-point-power-requirements-qu.html

Try moving the AP to POE+ or UPOE switch or Power Injector.

It is always advised to install access points following vendor recommendations with regards of power requirements. Low power always mean 1)disabled radios or 2)weird behaviours in wireless connectivity. Here the specs for AP1560 series:
