Same here. We primarily use enclosures for outdoor AP installations. Indoor installations are for high theft areas.

No offense to anyone- but for us the enclosure notion is cost prohibitive. Can almost double the per-AP cost which has significance when thousands of APs are considered... same with antennas and injectors (and per AP licensing in management systems- this one makes me cringe). It all adds up, bigtime. Far better (from purely a fiscal standpoint) to have cheap manageable PoE in standard switches and APs with integrated antennas that are handsome enough to see the light of day:) Lee H.

Tessco Technologies has a complete line of Terrawave celing and wall enclosures designed specifically for Cisco AP's. They are specifically designed to conceal the antennas in many cases. Anyone interested in these, can feel free to contact me.

Lucky for us most of our buildings are ugly and utilitarian! Seriously though, most of our installs are into a ceiling-tile box and the antennas just hang down. Where we do wall mount, those are into an enclosure (sometimes painted) as well. We haven't worked on getting new box styles to facilitate 'n' AP's, since we're waiting on IEEE standardization and 2nd-gen products. Dale -- Dale W.
