Outdoor/Indoor mounting considerations
. . . .


Indoor mounting considerations

  • There are numerous ways of mounting antennas indoors:
  • Most access points have at least a couple of keyhole type mounts for hanging the access point off of a couple of screws on a wall.
  • Most enterprise-class access points have mounting kits that allow you to mount the access point to a wall or ceiling.
  • Many of these kits are designed to easily attach directly to the metal rails of a drop ceiling.
  • Two common concerns are aesthetics and security.
  • Specialty enclosures and ceiling tiles can help to hide the installation of the access points and antennas.
  • An access point can be locked in a secure enclosure, with a short cable connecting it to the antenna.
  • When security is a concern, mounting the antenna high on the wall or ceiling can minimize unauthorized access.

Outdoor mounting considerations

  • Outdoor antennas, are mounted on masts or towers.
  • It is common to use mounting clamps and U-bolts to attach the antennas to the masts.
  • For mounting directional antennas, specially designed tilt-and-swivel mounting kits are available to make it easier to aim and secure the antenna.
  • Consideration wind load and properly secure the antenna.
