Outside the shaft and it has worked reasonably well. It depends on what your design goals are. If you are looking for absolutely no drops then you might need a AP in the car, but that probably messes with AP in the floors around the shaft as the car travels. We wanted reasonably good coverage without trying to get local Fire Marshall approval of shaft installation. As more and more Wi-Fi installations start to look at dynamic channel/power levels for SDR, then physically traveling AP would seem to be nightmare but maybe it just me. :)

Are your APs inside or outside the shaft? -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Smith, Todd Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 2019 2:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] [EXT] [WIRELESS-LAN] Wi-Fi in the Elevator Car Our design here involved an AP every other floor at the elevator door and that has worked very well. Our design is a 3 AP coverage design at -63 dBm for first AP coverage and we have had pretty good luck with elevator coverage.
