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

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.
