AP1562I (Internal Antenna)
The 1562I access point 802.11b/g/n radio is used primarily for local access and its 802.11a/n/ac radio
for wireless backhaul in the Mesh.
The 2 GHz b/g/n radio operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band. It supports channels 1-11 in the US, 1-13 in
Europe, and 1-13 in Japan. It has 3 transmitters with a maximum total output power of 29 dBm for
802.11b/g/n operation. Output power is configurable for 8 levels in 3 dB steps. It has three receivers that
enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).
The 5 GHz a/n radio operates in the UNII-1 band (5.15-5.25 GHz), UNII-2 band (5.25 - 5.35 GHz),
UNII-2 Extended/ETSI band (5.47 - 5.725 GHz), and the upper ISM band (5.725 - 5.850 GHz). It has
two transmitters with a maximum total output power of 27 dBm depending on the regulatory domain.
The total maximum output power for the upper ISM band is 27 dBm for A-domain. Tx power settings
will change depending on the regulatory domain. Output power is configurable in 3 dB steps. Its three
receivers enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).
The 1562I access point is equipped with three integrated dual-band antennas with 3 dBi gain at 2 GHz
and 5 dBi gain at 5 GHz.
