Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] MIMO Antennas
I've done it. I've had mixed results, both aesthetics and performance wise. You should find out the composition of the glass, as there are many varieties that are extremely difficult for Wireless to penetrate.

Mounting an antenna outside the building is not desirable. Have many of you placed patch antennas above ceiling tile inside a building pointed through a glass wall to cover an outdoor space? Any issues I should be concerned about? Thanks in advance.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] MIMO Antennas
An additional concern: the glass which is used now by LEEDs compliant buildings seems to be particularly unfriendly to Wifi and Cell phone signals. You might want to find out exactly what kind of glass this is and its emf characteristics. John On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 7:46 PM, Mike King m...@mpking.com wrote: I've done it.
