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.
