Not to mention there is typically a lot of electrical noise in elevators that could cause substantial interference.

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.

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?
