As far as the range is concerned we do get a greater range with the
1252's. I can't say we use this as a feature, because we didn't have a
lot of wireless deployed before. Where we did have it deployed before
we have put in more access points to do a capacity model rather than a
coverage model.
Thanks for sharing that. Have you ever considered midspan devices for
when you need more than a handful of bricks?

Something else is power. The power draw according to the brick is .95
amps at 120V. I haven't seen them actually draw that much power, but we
planned for it.

On that topic, has anyone taken a look at how many AP's they deployed on
a sq ft basis in your environment? We are trying to estimate how many we
need for full coverage and it looks like the usual guidelines that Cisco
provides (2000-2500 sq ft per AP), doesn't work that well for us.
Thanks,
A lot depends on what kind of construction your building is -- brick,
concrete and concrete block is entirely different from drywall and
open spaces. The other aspect is your definition of full coverage. If
you want the location functionality to work, you need much higher
density and different
Hi Greg-
The square-footage models scare me, quite frankly. Rather than a
one-size-fits all WAG based on footage, we've come to trust both Ekahau
and AirMagnet planning tools for budgetary planning- takes a bit of time
to get your attenuation sources right, but the final guestimate ends up
a lot
I did give our square-footage, but I completely agree with Lee and
Toivo. We based our coverage on having a strong signal in 11a with Meru
Coverage Planner (a re-branded Ekahau I believe).

We use PowerDSine mid-spans with our Meru AP320s. Specifically the
PD-7012G/AC/M (12-port) and PD-7006G/AC/M (6-port).
They've worked well for us.

Barber,
We use PowerDSine also (including the 24-port model) with our Aruba
AP-125s.

Thank you both. We are going to be using the 6 and 12 ports as well, as
I think the 24 port doesn't supply full 802.3at power to all 24 ports.
Glad to hear the products are working for you.
