Stadium / Harsh Environments
If you want to install the AP in harsh environments where it can be exposed to weather, such as sporting areas,
stadiums, open garden areas or warehouse freezers, consider using a NEMA type enclosure.
Note: Some APs are not certified for outdoor deployments in a NEMA enclosure. This varies around the
world; for example, some regulatory agencies permit AP outdoor NEMA enclosures if the AP is indoors, such
as a freezer or garden area, but prohibit its use outdoors. This seems to vary with regard to weather radar
compliance and often UNII−1 compliance etc. Check with your Cisco account team or the communications
regulatory agency that has jurisdiction in your part of the world.

When using a NEMA type enclosure, try to have the cables exit out of the bottom of the enclosure so that rain
and moisture do not run down the cable into the enclosure. Also, the color of the enclosure can affect the heat
