I have seen POE IP Cameras in (newer) elevators – I’m sure additional ethernet drops could be included at the time of installation. Retrofitting into existing elevators may be a more difficult task.

I’m wondering if the elevator manufacturers might start remodeling the elevators to allow for wireless access points in addition to the emergency phones already required. To that point I wonder if it will eventually become part of the local building codes.

I’m thinking opportunistically, like where a major re-work or new building might be in work versus retrofit. There’s a lot of technical and philosophical points to be considered, for sure. -Lee From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sullivan, Don Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 11:15 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Purpose-Built Wireless Coverage in Stairwells and Elevators Lee, Our thoughts and planning on this subject started about the time I read your email. ☺ I have not given any thought to this before but your email has raised questions as to what we might need to consider going forward. Considering how we would implement something like this in our current buildings/facilities would be a challenge and a potentially costly one.

As you get into new building wireless deployments, I’m wondering if anyone is rethinking their coverage of elevators (like with dedicated coverage in each car) and stairwells (also specific coverage, not just bleed out from hallways) now that we’re into the era of Wi-FI calling, RTLS, safety apps, etc. Granted, if you have an established VoWiFi culture, the question may seem low-brow, for the rest of us I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you are doing with WLAN in stairwells and elevators, what you’re planning on doing differently from what you’ve done in the past (if anything), whys and why-nots, and general thoughts on the topic.
