Misc. Q & A
Q.
Which AP is the best for manufacturing and warehouse areas?
A.
Generally speaking, the AP 3700e, 3600e, or 2600e are first choices because these external antenna
models have the highest operating temperature range -20 to 55 C°. The AP 1600 can also be used
but has a slightly lower operating temperature range -20 to 50 C°. If temperature is not a concern
then the internal antenna “I” series 1600, 2600, and 3600 may be used.
Q.
What if I am in a country where the regulatory agency may not approve the AP to be used outdoors
because of UNII-1 band restrictions? or if I wish to use higher gain antennas?
A.
Consider deploying the Cisco Mesh products (1550 and 1530 series) or look for Access Points
ending in “P” for professional install, such as the 3702P series or our outdoor bridging products.
Q.
Which AP is best for high density deployments?
A.
Both the 3700 and 3600 have virtually identical AP density for coverage based design as well as
Capacity-based designed (smaller-cells).
Q.
Cisco has a newer Power Injector (AIR-PWR-INJ5). How is this different from the
(AIR-PWR-INJ4)?
A.
The newer AIR-PWR-INJ5 is a low cost injector for use with the AP 1600 and AP 2600 Series
Products. It is an 802.3af (15.4W injector). The AIR-PWR-INJ4 is a more powerful injector
designed to work with the AP 3700 and AP 3600 (when optional modules are used). The
AIR-PWR-INJ5 can be used with the AP 3600 but not if the optional module is used.
