How high is the central building? And how high are you planning to put your antennas on the pole? I'm assuming you are talking 802.11b/g. Remember that your clients won't be able to hear your radios that well once they are 500 to 600 feet away. So you need to take this into account.

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.
