The best AP for large warehouse deployment ?

[DavidO0521]

Hi,

Hope you peeps can assist.

New design / installation at a warehouse....

What is the best / recommended AP for a warehouse with shelving 10m high and 1.8m appart  and a ceiling at about 11.5m? Warehouse is 129m x 97m, about  60% of the floor will be shelving and the rest offices with a ceiling of 3m.

My concern is the area where the shelving will be utilized and scanners to be used for stock control. The goods on the shelves will differ from plastics to metal in wooden crates and normal boxes. 

Thank you in advance for your advice and recommendation. Please also state whether you recommend internal or external antennae.

That is hard to tell you exactly what you need to do, but for that height, I would use an external antenna, the office if fine with internal.  I would use either the 3702e or 2702e for the install.  Most of my clients in the manufacturing/distribution has gone with the 3702e's.

Hi Scott

Yeah, it is a distribution warehouse. I will do some read up on your proposal. 

Thanks a million for your advice, much appreciated.

Hi Scott

Just a quick question.

What antenna do you use for the 3702e or do you use the air-ant2566 in your warehouse deployment ?

Typically for those AP's it would be the

AIR-ANT2544V4M-R=  

Only a few time would I need to use the following

AIR-ANT2524V4C-R=

Hello Scott

I must to cover a warehouse similar as David has described. I´m confused because some people recomend omnidirectional and other people recomend directional antenas.

The thing is that I only can mount them at ceiling, and if I put omnidirectional antenas mounted at ceiling, the survey gives me a lot of channel overlaps.
The antennas that you specified
AIR-ANT2544V4M-R=
AIR-ANT2524V4C-R=
can be mounted at ceiling? how high can I mount them to give coverage at the floor level?

In case you recomend to me directional antenas, can you tell me which model AP/Antena that I could use ?

Many thanks

My recommendation is to open/create a new thread.
