Take care to maintain sufficient horizontal and vertical separation between the antennas. Just because they are on different channels, it doesn't means that the side and rear lobes, because of the higher power, can't de-sensitize the receivers or interfere with the signal of nearby radios. You'll want to work with your AP and/or antenna vendor.

We are in the process of deploying outdoor wireless campus wide. We have a central building that this summer under went a costly re-facing. We need to place antennas on the front of this building to provide us the seamless coverage we are hoping to achieve. My thought is to install one pole mounting bracket to the middle of the building and have 3- 90 degree directional antennas mounted to the pole. Each sector would be attached to a different radio which allows them to be on different channels in order to minimize interference between different sectors. Any other ideas will be appreciated.
