Agree.  Should be fine.

Just how do you plan to install the antenna?  Ceiling?  Wall?

Please elaborate.

Hello, thanks for the comments.

On the Ceiling Panel 3 meters above the floor.

First AP coverage Area:

The coverages area is a rectangle 9 x 24 meters, with no more than 10 concurent users per area.

Second AP coverage Area:

The coverages area is a square 10 x 10 meters, with no more than 10 concurent users per area.

Sounds good.  You've obviously done your homework.

Question, if this is an office, why use a 1262?  I mean you can choose 1040 or 1140 and the cost is far less.

Well the client suggest the equipment, but I think the AP1142 can do the job very well. Just I need to consider put the AP1142 on the wall instead ceiling.

Well the client suggest the equipment

Heard of this line before.

What I did was put in a document the cost of the 1262 + the antenna vs the cost of an 1142.  I presented it to the client and asked them, "are you sure you really, really want the 1262".  There was a loooooooooooong silence.  And the client choose the 1142.

Thanks for the analogy.
