I think the best bet is either an access point at the top and bottom of the shafts with the antennas pointing towards the elevator, or an access point on the elevator itself. Only problem is that the wiring bundle that goes to the elevator would have to modified (you may need an engineer from the elevator company to do that) and the total distance of cable needed (depending on number of floors the elevator travels too) could be longer than the 100 meters max length of ethernet.
"Eldridge, Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/21/2008 09:29 AM Please respond to "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> To "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> cc Subject OT: Wireless in elevators I have deployed 300+ cisco 1130 aps and the powers to be are asking for the spectralink phones to work in the elevators. Anyone have any experience with getting coverage there? I’m hoping the elevator will support a direct poe/data connection and mount the ap right in/on it. I’m thinking that as you quickly go up/down floors that trying to associate with passing floors is going to cause issues. Is one AP at the top of the elevator shaft sufficient? Any ideas?
