Wireless Mesh 802.11 AC

[tom.neteng]

I have a client that needs to run 802.11 ac off of another vendor AP for an outdoor environment.  Due to the physical layout, it would be more advantageous to run PoE to an outdoor AP.

In this situation, what Cisco APs exist that are:

A. Not controller based.

B. That can do wireless backhaul off another vendor's AP

If necessary, I can integrate two or more Cisco APs, but would like to avoid a controller based solution.  Cost is important, but not the most important consideration.

Do not do this.  It will cause you a lot of grief.  Never try and mix vendors when doing MESH or bridging.
