From Aesthetics to Functionality: Overcoming modern day challenges in mounting, protecting, and managing Wi-Fi Access Points across diverse installations. Wi-Fi access point installations have significantly evolved to meet the demands of today’s network environments. The deployment process is now influenced by a collaboration between the owner, designer, and network management teams. Unlike installations from 20 years ago, modern Wi-Fi deployments must meet a wider range of requirements. Each environment presents unique needs, such as considerations for aesthetics, protection, adaptability, and the ease of ongoing management throughout the lifecycle of the access point. This presentation will explore current challenges and offer practical solutions to address the diverse needs of Wi-Fi AP deployments across both indoor and outdoor settings.
