experience with IT issues and solutions.

I'd be interested to hear quite why your assistant CIO is interested in
this solution. Has he or a superior had some recent Ruckus hospitality or
literature, perhaps?
I do not accuse Ruckus
We are a Cisco shop as well, with outdoor 1552E APs on various light poles.
Does not look bad at all. AP is powered with 85W PoE injector. Data runs
over fiber. Only 5 of these APs around campus are wired in as root APs, the
rest are mesh clients.
I know its not what you are asking, but Cisco
I guess that would be my first concern- why mixing systems? Are the Ruckus just
supposed to be workgroup bridges in this case or actual client serving APs? I'm
guessing anything could be cobbed together, but this sounds wonky. Also, heat
has to be a concern in the light globe, no?

We are a Ruckus shop having gotten rid of Cisco a number of years back.
LED lamps do not generate much heat at all; we are in St. Petersburg
Florida, right on the bay so we have multiple challenges that include
salt water and heat. The APs will work up to 65 C. and I've never had a

They are based out of Chattanooga so of course we have had discussions with
them. We decided against APs in lights for a number of reasons.

and feel that multiple vendor networks would hinder that. We also have 1

It looks like if your University selected GlobalGreenLightning
you really don't have a choice as to which AP vendor you can use.

And now I am confused too. My impression from my Asst CIO was that the wireless
was to server clients. But the literature talks about WiFi control of the
lights. Maybe my Asst CIO heard what he wanted to hear.
I have a request in to the company for a call back. Will let the list know what

The lights are controlled through the SENSUS stuff. (I was unaware of the name
until now.) They have the ability to turn off and on lights from a web browser
just by selecting the lights from a map. That control is over the
low-frequency radio. I think they only have one in town here, maybe
I didn't read that site literature as meaning WiFi control of the lights.
It says wireless control and specifically mentions licensed spectrum which
WiFi is not.
I think they are completely separate but possibly complimentary features or
options for the lights.
The wireless control system is

Interesting- so who manages this- you, or Physical Plant? Or is it a turn-key
vendor thing (sounds like maybe it is), and if that's the case, the mounting
should be their problem. But... this is still a potential interference
nightmare depending on how close to your WLAN these poles are (I know
It will certainly be an interference problem since it is interspersed between
all buildings on campus.
It does WiFi as well as all networking on campus. We do not touch light bulbs.
The reverse is true of the grounds department. So, this is another problem with
this installation.
So far I
The Axis M1004-W, M1033-W, and M1034-W cameras all list support for EAP-TLS

I do have a number of Cisco 1142 APs that I could play with.
I don't even see how any AP can be mounted in the glass globe. Surely they are
not just set inside leaning against the inside of the globe.
Does anyone use exterior lighting by GlobalGreenLighting with wireless APs in
each device?
We're a Ruckus shop and we love the products. We used to be a Cisco shop. I
would be very concerned about the following just to name a few:
-mixing vendors because you introduce confusion and complexity;
-the cables to the AP running along the electrical cables, might introduce
interference plus
That being said,seems silly to not extend the campus wireless network rather
than shoehorn yet another hardware set. Is short sighted of the lighting vendor
to require that.

We say no to wireless cameras, even the integrators we use prefer to use
wireless bridge to Ethernet over cameras in client mode.

Our facilities folks are installing new outdoor LED lighting. They want us to
install APs inside of the light fixtures (not the poles, but inside of the
glass light globe). The AP they want us to use is a Ruckus ZoneFlex T300 series
device. (See:
