wall mount height for indoor directional antennas

charlietweet — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 10:23:33 GMT

Looking for some advice on designing a solution for a large conference room.

- Ceiling mounting of APs is NOT an option.

- The room is 150 x 60 feet of open space.

- The entire open space needs a High Density solution to accommodate 500 devices for web/email type traffic only.

- My proposed AP is Cisco 3702e

- My proposed design (attached) is to wall mount 3 APs with this antenna: 'ANT2566P4W-R' on each of the long sides (6 total APs).

- Probably will not have time to order one AP/antenna and do a survey first. I have to determine all hardware for a BOM and deploy it fast.

Questions:

1. I'm having trouble finding specific info on how many feet off the floor should the antenna be wall-mounted ? What's the best way to determine the optimal height considering the entire open space needs coverage (except for maybe the couple feet along the wall edges).

2. Would the BOM requirements be 6 APs and 6 antennas only? What else? What wall mount bracket is needed for the AP ?

3. Any suggestions on a better design solution are appreciated? Thanks
