•Cisco Flexible Antenna Port technology.
•DOCSIS 3.0 / EuroDOCSIS / JapanDOCSIS 3.0, 24x8 hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) cable modem option.
•Improved radio sensitivity and range performance with four antenna MIMO and three spatial streams.
•Multiple uplink options (Gigabit Ethernet-10/100/1000 BaseT, Fiber SFP, Cable modem).
•Power: AC, DC, Cable, UPOE, PoE-Out (802.3at).
•4G LTE coexistence.
•NEMA Type 4X certified enclosure.
•Module option: Investment protection and future proofing.
•Low visual profile design.

The New AP1572
The AP1572 series is an industry leading carrier grade 802.11ac access point (AP). The AP1572 has three models, such as an internal
antenna model with cable mode, an external model with cable modem, and an external antenna model.

The AP1572 can operate in the following modes:
•Unified Modes:
•Local
•Flexconnect
•Bridge
•Flexconnect with Bridge
•Monitor
•Spectrum Expert
•Sniffer
•Rogue Detector

Aironet 1572IC Product Details
The 1572IC has the following features:
•Two radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz):
•2 GHz: 4x4:3
•5 GHz: 4x4:3
•Power Options:
◦40 –90 VAC, 50 –60 Hz, quasi-square wave, Power over Cable
◦10 –16 VDC
•Console Port
•LTE and WIMAX Signal Rejection (2.1 / 2.3 GHz; 30 dB; 2.5 GHz; 35 dB)
•DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS 3.0 24x8
•GPS Option

The 1572IC has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Ethernet port and SFP port. Either the Ethernet port, SFP port, or Cable modem can
provide uplink access to the WLC, but only one uplink port can be used for WLC access at a given time. LAG for redundancy is not
supported. Ethernet Bridged wired clients or Daisy-chained APs should be connected to the Ethernet port only. The SFP port requires
an additional SFP connector to be inserted into the SFP port.
The 1572IC can be powered either by DC or Power over cable. The LED can be used to determine the status of the AP. The LED
flashing sequences are listed in the LED Flashing Sequences section.
The Console port is located on the side of the AP, covered by a metal cap. The AP MAC address is located on the side of the AP and
should be added to the WLC’s MAC Filter list or to a External AAA, for the AP to join a WLC while in Bridge mode.
