That's a District requirement, not a manufacturer's requirement. The manufacturers' recommendation is made with the intent to optimize system performance.

Okay.

Mount it upside down on a pedestal 9" from the ceiling. :wink:

Close to the truth, in some cases. For the integrated antenna APs we install, the manufacturers' recommendation is to install the AP in a horizontal orientation. For APs that utilize external antennas, AP orientation is not important but antenna orientation is; recommendation for antenna orientation vary depending on the type of antenna in question.

For T-bar ceiling environments, one manufacturer provides a mounting bracket that clips to the T-bar, while the other molds the mounting clips directly into the AP case.

For hard-lid environments, we utilize a cantilever bracket which mounts to a vertical wall - the AP hangs off the bottom of the bracket.

Cantilever - I like this, it sounds like it's bike-related!

But seriously. Thanks for the suggestions/discussion, guys. Appreciate it.

More appropriately- bridge related.
