?I don't use Ruckus, but know of non-Edu customers that love them. And I won't
harp on it, but I hope your assistant CIO understands what he's biting off with
this... I'm guessing he/she doesn't have to actually support the ensuing train
wreck.
Good luck there,
Lee

I am not happy about this suggestion. I would much rather deploy the
recommended Cisco APs. However, my assistant CIO is interested in this
solution. So, I need to find out all I can about it (good & bad). I really need
to talk with someone who has these in use.

I guess that would be my first concern- why mixing systems? Are the Ruckus just
supposed to be workgroup bridges in this case or actual client serving APs? I'm
guessing anything could be cobbed together, but this sounds wonky. Also, heat
has to be a concern in the light globe, no?

No. We are a Cisco shop.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Outdoor APs
Our facilities folks are installing new outdoor LED lighting. They want us to
install APs inside of the light fixtures (not the poles, but inside of the
glass light globe). The AP they want us to use is a Ruckus ZoneFlex T300 series
device. (See:
http://www.ruckuswireless.com/products/zoneflex-outdoor/zoneflex-t300-series )
Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with this equipment installed
inside of exterior light fixtures? I need someone to talk to.
Does anyone have any outside deployments that put the APs inside of the light
fixtures using any brand of equipment?
Thanks.
