We do have pods and apartment style residence halls, though the majority are traditional residence halls with two beds per room. We had switched from hallway ceiling mounted access points to hospitality units in every other room (zig-zag and alternating on each floor).
Part of the decision going this route was that each room had a wall mounted single gang box with dual gig ports. Since we also had coax in them as well, we used the expanded mounting box for the AP-303H which allow you to add a keystone jack in the bottom. You may still want to run your floor plans with some sort of planning tool like ekahau, or even Aruba AirWave VisualRF planner (if that is still available - been a while) On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 11:46 AM Chintan Patel <[email protected]> wrote: > Morning, > > We are in process of building new residence halls (3 buildings) with > Pod-style rooms.
