What is the most suitable antenna option to be used when designing a WLAN infrastructure with APs mounted on a ceiling with a height of more than 20 feet and having all of the client stations used from the floor?
In environments where access points (APs) are mounted on high ceilings (e.g., over 20 feet), it's essential to direct the wireless signal downwards towards the client devices on the floor. Patch antennas, which are directional antennas, are ideal for this scenario as they can focus the RF energy downward, providing better coverage and signal strength to the intended area.
The CWDP-305 Official Study and Reference Guide emphasizes the importance of antenna selection based on mounting height and coverage requirements:
"When APs are mounted on high ceilings, using directional antennas like patch antennas can help focus the RF energy towards the client devices, ensuring optimal coverage and performance."
