AP-1131AG radiation pattern

Hi All

How should I mount an AP-1131AG for the best coverage area? vertical(wall) , Horizontal(ceiling).

Thank you.

The 1131AG AP is meant to hang horizontally on the ceiling. The radiation pattern is an omnidirectional "donut", which extends out from the LED ring in the center.

Thank you. Jeff

From the E-Plane radiation ,Can I mount on the wall ?. or If I mount on the middle of room (Vertical ) what is the effect?

Thanks you.

You can hang it on the wall. The effect will be to change the polarity of the pattern by 90 degrees (to horizontal), which may or may not be detrimental, depending on the client.

Usually you'd be looking at ~3dB or so drop for a polarization mismatch.

Good Luck
