A bridge is different than an AP. So the short answer is no.
As for your antenna question, 1Km is a long distance for an AP to cover. I
would start looking at how many users you are going to cover there and look
at designing it with more than one AP. You can use external antenna and
find yourself some +12dBi omnidirectional antennas that MAY work depending
on what your terrain and structures are. There's no set "yes" or "no"
answer in the world of wireless. :)
This is what site surveys are for! For that distance though, you may be
better off with multiple Aps and sectoral antennas.

Subject: Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge with Aironet 1310 Access Point
Hi guys,
I know this is not R/S issue but if someone has already implemented the
same, I am new to wireless world; I will appreciate if you guys can answer
my following questions I have bought two Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge,
Mfg: AIR-BR1410A-A-K9-N with two Cisco Aironet 28dBi Dish Antenna, Model:
AIR-ANT58G28SDA I need to connect two campuses with the distance of 7km,
only main campus has Internet connection, I want all of my clients get DHCP
addresses in both campuses and should be able to use Internet 1. in each
campus with Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge which access point should I
use?, if I go to AP 1310 which antenna should I use?, my campuses are wide
enough around 1km, I want to cover each and every area, is there any
omnidirectional outdoor antenna which can work with AP 1310 and give me
enough coverage like 1km?? Then I would be able to use AP 1310 on both ends
with Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge.
2. Can I use a bridge like an access point, it stays in bridge mode so I can
use long range antennas because CISCO has categorized antenna with bridge
mode and Access point mode, Access point antennas are very short range but
bridge antennas are very high range, so can it possible to use Cisco Aironet
1410 Wireless Bridge in an access point mode with high gain antenna?
I will appreciate all comments and ideas
