I do have a number of Cisco 1142 APs that I could play with.
I don't even see how any AP can be mounted in the glass globe. Surely they are
not just set inside leaning against the inside of the globe.
Does anyone use exterior lighting by GlobalGreenLighting with wireless APs in
each device?

John,
When I was at UTK we installed APs outdoor in PVC electrical boxes in the sun
and they “survived”
the elements for at least 4 years. We felt comfortable doing this because we
used recycled APs or “cheap APs” that would have
not wasted State funds had it failed miserably. At least request from the
assistant CIO to stress test a unit before going in production.
Don’t you have older 802.11n Cisco APs that you could use for a sample
configuration?

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?

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.
