Additionally, one reason we also implemented AP303H’s in dorm rooms is that the antennas are also more directional (120 degrees horizontal) which also helps with placement

I like the idea and the functionality people are saying about these units so it's definitely something we'll consider in the future.

I didn't seem to get a good explanation so now I'm asking this group. For those who have deployed the hospitality access points, how do they differ from an Aruba you would put in an academic/administrative building? Do you find you are putting more of them into a residence hall? I'd toy with the idea of possibly swapping the IAP-215 units with hospitality units if the numbers were similar and we could move the IAP-215 units into one of our buildings with legacy Arubas although from what I think I'm reading, it looks like some of you are putting more into the residence halls than we have put (it's definitely not one access point for every one or two rooms based on the heat maps that were done). Any thoughts would be appreciated.
