I will run out and take some pictures today. We haven’t been worried about aesthetics as much as coverage. Generally, people don’t see them at all even if it’s obvious to us.
Also, we are looking at the below pedestals for some new buildings and in areas where trenching is easy and the pedestals can be hidden in landscaping. Looks like a great option for hiding APs in the open. http://oberoninc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4561&Itemid=399 Steve / Stephen Belcher Assistant Director of Network Operations WVU Information Technology Services One Waterfront Place / PO Box 6500 Morgantown, WV 26506 (304) 293-8440 office (681) 214-3389 mobile [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]> on behalf of "Blasingame, Bob" <[email protected]> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 9:25 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Photos of outdoor APs on building Greetings, We are upgrading our outdoor wireless APs to Cisco 1562s and want to move the mount locations from roof top down to ground level; approx. 10-15 feet up on walls. Unfortunately, we are getting pushback that, aesthetically, this is not going to be allowed, even with camouflaging of the AP. We have now ben tasked with providing photos of outdoor APs in use on other campuses. Thirty minutes on Google showed that this was not an easy thing to find, so we are wondering if anyone has photos of outdoor APs on their campus buildings that they would be willing to share. Preferably, Cisco 1562s, but anything to show that other universities are willing to bend a little on looks to gain wireless coverage. If you have any information on how you handled this dilemma, that would be appreciated as well.
