metro area. Building a metropolitan area wireless infrastructure with the Cisco
Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge provides deployment personnel with a
flexible, easy to use solution that meets the security requirements of wide area
networking professionals. Designed to be a cost-effective alternative to leased
lines, it is engineered specifically for harsh outdoor environments, yet also
works well in indoor deployments. The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge
is the premier high-speed, high-performance outdoor bridging solution for
line-of-sight applications, providing features such as:
- Support for both point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
configurations (Figure 1)
- Industry leading range and throughput, supporting data
rates up to 54 Mbps
- Enhanced security mechanisms based on 802.11 standards
- Ruggedized enclosure optimized for harsh outdoor
environments with extended operating temperature range
- Integrated or optional external antennas for flexibility
in deployment
- Designed specifically for ease-of-installation and
operation
Bridging Fixed Networks
The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless
Bridge can be used to provide either: 1) the sole connection, 2) the primary
connection with an additional technology such as a T1 line providing redundancy,
or 3) as a back up solution for additional resiliency in conjunction with other
technologies such as fiber optics. Ideal applications include:
- Local
Government—Backbone (backhaul) portion of community-based municipal
networks such as public safety networks, or any fixed network location
- Education—Higher
education campus building interconnects and K-12 schools within a metropolitan
area
- Healthcare—Hospital campuses and physician
offices
- Enterprise
campus—Building-to-building links (point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint), or any situation where a company needs to expand across an
area where right-of-way is not possible
- Service
provider—Backhaul to aggregate multiple lower-speed links into a higher
speed link
Figure 1 Point-to-Point and
Point-to-Multipoint Applications
Mobile Networks and Wireless Bridges
The concept of mobile networks is
significant not only for service providers looking to offer seamless network
access, but also for individual organizations such as municipal public safety
units. In many instances, the technology exists to create the zones that provide
the mobile network, but the challenge lies in bringing the network to these
zones. The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge provides a cost-effective
solution to this application. The wireless bridge can connect to the network
that contains the 2.4 GHz access points or bridges that are providing wireless
zone coverage, and also provide the backhaul link to the high-speed network
(Figure 2). Whether these zones are 802.11 hot spots at cafes and restaurants or
bridged 802.11b cells for mobile networks, the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series
Wireless Bridge provides a non-interfering and higher speed distribution
service.
Figure 2 Public Safety Network Utilizing Wireless
Bridges
ROI
The high-speed links between the wireless
bridges deliver throughput several times faster than E1/T1 lines for a fraction
of the cost—eliminating the need for expensive leased lines or
difficult-to-install fiber-optic cable. Because bridges have no recurring
charges, savings on leased-line services quickly pay for the initial hardware
investment. The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series with its 54 Mbps throughput capability
connects discrete sites into a single LAN at speeds much greater than leased
lines, even when they are separated by obstacles such as freeways, railroads, or
bodies of water that are practically insurmountable using copper or fiber-optic
cable.
High Performance
Operating in the unlicensed 5.8 GHz band,
the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge sets a new standard for
performance, combining powerful 250 mW radios, industry-leading receive
sensitivity, installation tools to assist in bridge placement, delay spread
capabilities, and a choice of integrated or connectorized high gain antennas,
Cisco provides a complete solution for a wide variety of fixed wireless
applications.
Data rates of 54 Mbps can be enabled for
point-to-point links up to 7.5 miles, and for point-to-multipoint links up to 2
miles.1 Aggregate
throughput can be obtained in excess of 28 Mbps.2 Also, by using
higher gain antennas or lower data rates, ranges in excess of 20 miles
point-to-point can be covered.3
Security
Cisco Aironet has a proven track record
for leading the industry with advanced security features. Building on
basic wireless security, support for the Cisco Wireless Security Suite is
included with the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge (Figure 3),
featuring support for IEEE 802.1X mutual authentication and strong encryption.
Network managers can confidently deploy a wireless bridging solution that
provides robust security and protection, with the ease of centralized management
through a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server such
as Cisco Access Control Server (ACS).

Security
Intelligent Network Services
The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless
Bridge utilizes Cisco IOS® Software to provide a familiar user interface
with common functionality, scalability, and security. Additionally, advanced
features such as quality of service (QoS) are included, enabling packet
prioritization for voice, video, and data. Trunking up to 24 voice-over-IP
(VoIP) circuits over point-to-point links is also possible. Bandwidth can be
increased between bridged networks through the aggregation of multiple bridges
at each site through Fast Ether Channel (FEC), or Port Aggregation Protocol
(PAg-P), or through routing protocols. For a multipurpose network, Virtual Local
Area Networks (VLANs) can be configured by allowing different non-root bridges
operating on the same root bridge to trunk different VLANS. Network services can
now be segmented based upon end user requirements (Figure 4).

Flexible
Rapid deployment and redeployment can be
achieved with no reliance upon telecommunications providers nor a lengthy
license or trenching process. The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge
allows placement in an outdoor environment without the use of an expensive
additional National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure.
Further flexibility is achieved by enabling point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint networks with a single product line. The mounting bracket
has been designed to allow installation on poles, walls, and roofs, while also
providing a mechanism for choosing the desired polarization. The Cisco Aironet
1400 Series Wireless Bridge offers an outdoor wireless bridging solution in two
product SKUs. The captured antenna version features an integrated radio and
high-gain integrated antenna for user installations of point-to-point links and
the non-root nodes of point-to-multipoint networks. The connectorized version
provides professional installers with an N-Type connector that allows the
deployment of the root nodes of point-to-multipoint networks with
omni-directional or sector antennas, or of high gain dish antennas for longer
links. The external antenna options are:
- 9.0 dBi vertically polarized omni antenna
- 9.5 dBi sector antenna with support for vertical or
horizontal linear polarization
- 28.0 dBi dish antenna with support for vertical or
horizontal linear polarization
Ease of Use
Based upon IEEE 802.11a technology and
utilizing the same Cisco IOS Software as in a wired network, the Cisco Aironet
1400 Series provides a user with a familiar experience that supports an
"out-of-the-box" deployment. Convenient LEDs and an externally accessible
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for alignment feedback/diagnostics and
a quick-hang mounting bracket allows for an easy installation process.
To simplify ordering and installation, the
Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge provides the professional or
IT installer with all of the components and accessories necessary to complete
most deployments, including:
- The Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR for supplying power
to the bridge without expensive electrician costs (Figure 5). The power injector
also extends the distance the 1400 Series Wireless Bridge can be installed from
the network. (Figure 6)
- The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Multifunction Mount, with
its innovative design, to provide greater ease of installation and flexibility.
The mount comes complete with stainless steel hardware to improve corrosion
resistance.
