Andy, The hallways are straight and I feel like we can get good coverage through other means. I'm just checking out the suggestion that leaky coax or a distributed antenna might provide better coverage or a better price point. It's not sounding like that's going to be the case. Thanks for the info.

I've not heard firsthand of one good 2.4GHz install with the stuff. I particularly doubt it's effectiveness in a duplex environment - I think it is more useful in a broadcast environment. Is the hallway straight ? Any compelling reason not to stick a small panel antenna at one end ? -- andyw at pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
