Should not be a proble as long as you choose a good splitter and RF cable. LMR400 at least. The splitter will give you an insertion loss of 0.5 dB at 2500 MHz. Your antennas I am assuming are omni directional with at lest 3-5 dBi gain. As long as your cable runs are kept to a minimum it should be fine.

Also make sure you adjust your RTS thresholds as you will have hidden node problems since the clients on the roof can't see the clients under the roof.

Thanks man but you got me confused , do u mean

the hidden node can't communicate with the other nodes ? Can I refer me to some references for splitter use and considerations .
