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.

Here at the Charleston Area Medical Center, we are moving to an 802.11ac Wave 2
rollout and due to the density requirements, (2 AP coverage at -63dbm, 3rd AP
at -70) DFS on 5 GHz is mandatory. We were an early adopter of 802.11a and
still have some 11a clients around that may or may not support
We have used a separate 5 GHz A SSID for years but we had some more control
over clients then you probably do. We had to create a 2.4 GHz BG SSID to
handle guest access and PDA/smartphones that couldn't handle both 5 GHz and
WPA2 security.
