The garage will be underground when built so not sure if temperature will be a great issue, but plan to use outdoor AP’s anyway. Doing the survey before is always tough since construction doesn’t allow for us nonunion workers access into the building to do any “work”. So I’ve always had to do predictive and hope for the best and do a little over kill on AP’s.

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 jbec...@wustl.edu<mailto:jbec...@wustl.edu> 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/.
