Here at the Charleston Area Medical Center, we have several floors that have not been renovated that are plaster lath with wire mesh and for us the only answer to was conduct a quality wireless survey and budget for AP in the room. It was a huge departure from our normal methods but the wireless survey showed that we couldn’t achieve our wireless design without it.
Fortunately we had the support from the executive team to get it done but sometimes the only good medicine for a problem tastes bad. ☺ Todd From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Rodkey Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 12:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Plastered buildings How do you deal with buildings that have plaster and fine metal mesh enclosing them? We have placed access points on the exterior of the building, but the signal isn't getting through. The rooms all open onto an outside hallway - there is no common internal hallway.
