I would be very interested to see if anyone has managed to successfully 
use APs with more than 3 channels per site.  But I don't think it is 
likely unless there is good shielding between APs.  Like perhaps a 
building.  This is why there are other solutions designed for more 
subscribers like Trango or Canopy.  Other option I believe would be 
locating more APs but at a site that is perhaps a half mile away. 
Scalability at 802.11 is a problem.

Is a tower limited to 3 APs per polarization (due to RF), or can one use
smaller beamwidth antennas (45*) and then have 8 APs on one tower? Surely
this can't be done with regular plain-jane antennas? I have lots of
customers who can see all my 90* APs. I'd hate to have lots of customers
who can see 5 of my 45* APs !!
Anyone doing this? Sucessfully?
