Hi,
I have read it somewhere that leaky cables might work, but didn't test it.

We used a similar coax to Ethernet converter for the IP camera in our elevators
and they work very well.
Our building is 6 stories and we don't target our elevators for WiFi, but we do
have a WAP in the lobby of each floor and the bleed through seems to cover the
elevators fairly well.

You can get stranded Ethernet cable that will handle more movement. 5
floors isn’t nearly at the limit of Cat5 so that isn’t a concern.
Another option is to do an AP at the top of the shaft with a static mesh in
the car. No wires. Nice and easy.

Hmmm... Good to know. The bldg I am working on is about 5 floors if I remember
right. Probably too long for ethernet. I'm thinking about this solution

I have designed and deployed in car WiFi for a few folks - one we had a Cat
5 cable that was part of the traveler cable (so certified from a movement
perspective) and the other we had a pair that I used a DSL converter on to
get a few MB of traffic for the AP.
These were all 10+ story buildings.
Our design here involved an AP every other floor at the elevator door and that
has worked very well. Our design is a 3 AP coverage design at -63 dBm for
first AP coverage and we have had pretty good luck with elevator coverage.

You'd think this would be pretty straight forward, but with the codes for
elevators and life safety you might not be able to get a cable in the wiring
bundle for the car. Or if you can, will the cable take the constant bending and
unbending... the Aruba airheads talked about 2 different
I don't have any experience with it, but cat-6 traveling cables are available
so it's possible to put an AP in the car. I wouldn't anticipate anything but
the usual Wi-Fi problems if you put the AP in the car.

Hello,
Has anyone designed Wi-Fi specifically to work in the elevator car itself?
Willing to share your experience?
Thanks,
