We are a Ruckus shop having gotten rid of Cisco a number of years back.
LED lamps do not generate much heat at all; we are in St. Petersburg
Florida, right on the bay so we have multiple challenges that include
salt water and heat. The APs will work up to 65 C. and I've never had a
failure of an AP including a number of the outdoor models.
I agree, the APs can be stand alone, but if you are Cisco shop would
they offer an alternative?

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.
