Note Installing APs above the ceiling tiles should only be done when mounting below the ceiling is not an
option. The tiles must not be conductive; such installations can certainly degrade advanced RF features
such as voice and location, so verify coverage and performance. Always try to mount the AP as close to
the inside middle of the tile as possible, and avoid areas with obstructions

Stadium/Harsh Environments

Customers wishing to install the AP in harsh environments where it may be exposed to weather, such as
sporting areas, stadiums, open garden areas, or warehouse freezers, may wish to use a NEMA type
enclosure.
