This is also a good place to mesh. You don’t need high density, just coverage. So even mesh a few hops deep will provide plenty for the few people that will use it at a time.

We get really cold weather so for me it was vital to have outdoor-rated APs/antennas. NEMA enclosures and humidity are typical in this type of environment too so had to be considered. Like GT and Fred said, the number of Aps required will be lower than you’d anticipate. Test at least one story with AP on a stick to make sure your plan is good, ideally at a time where the parking is full... Cheers!

Just looking for any ideas/thoughts you have on the topic. I’m thinking of having the directional WAP’s line the outside and scatter a few throughout the middle. -- Thanks, Jason Becker Network Systems Engineer Washington University in St. Louis [email protected] 314-935-5006 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
