Housed in a compact, aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-deploy package, the This Cisco WiFi Ghana packs flexible deployment options for service providers and enterprise networks that need the fastest links possible for mobile outdoor clients (smartphones, tablets, and laptops) and wireless backhaul. The Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana access point gives network operators the flexibility to balance their desired wireless coverage with their need for easy deployment. Whether deployed as a traditional access point or a wireless mesh access point, the Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana provides the throughput capacity needed for today’s bandwidth-hungry devices.

Features

802.11ac Wave 2 radio

Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana provides up to 867-Mbps data rates with 2 x 2 Multiuser Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) with up to two spatial streams.

Multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO)

Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana access point allows transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2-capable clients simultaneously to improve client experience. Prior to the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, access points could transmit data to only one client at a time, typically referred to as single-user MIMO.

Flexible deployment modes

Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana access point can also be deployed with the Cisco Mobility Express Solution. This deployment is ideal for small to medium-sized networks that that require 50 or fewer access points without a physical controller. All deployment modes are easy to set up and configure

Compact, lightweight size

At just over 2.5 pounds (1 kg) and with a small footprint, Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana is one of the smallest outdoor access points with internal antennas.

Low power consumption

The Cisco Aironet1542I Ghana achieves full operation on standard 802.3af power (13.9W).

Integrated antenna options

The This Cisco WiFi Ghana offers two models with different antenna patterns to address a variety of use cases.
