I am using 1142's. Most of them are mounted above dropped ceilings. I have wall mounted some units and they work fine. The antenna pattern is designed for horizontal mounting but I have found the vertical mounting to be acceptable.

We currently have 22 WiSMs and approx 1100 APs (1240s and 1230s). Currently there are two Cisco flavors of APs the 1252 and 1140. We are shying away for the 1250 series because of the power draw limitation with our current PoE switches. We don't want to start using injectors again or buy all new 3560e switches! However the 1140s were designed to be hung from the ceiling and we only hang wall mounted APs. Has anyone else installed 1140s on the wall, and if so, did you have to change your design methodology?
