[aklug] Re: large scale wireless question

Check out UniFi.

Inexpensive. Awesome.

  http://ubnt.com/unifi - It comes with PoE Adapters which you can make a spiffy little
passthrough rack mount. It isn't 802.3af PoE compatible without an adapter in line.
  http://ubnt.com/8023af <- not sure if it works well with unifi APs.

And while you're at it.

The most difficult part is understanding the interference in the hotel (I did "The Coast"
here in town a while ago). Since there are very few non-overlapping channels it's
difficult to arrange access points so that they do not overlap. Some APs have "auto" mode
to help deal with this.. but they don't appear to have a channel blacklist to not select
overlapping channels.
