    Can't really add to the subject. I am doing an outdoor (obviously) deployment of approx. 40 of these. In general, I will mount them on the sides of buildings, probably about 18' high. But is higher preferred?

    18' will be fine, up to 25' is likely fine as well.

    How about lower? 12' looks likely in a bunch of locations.

    Height and efficacy will be detemrined by the environment. Do you have an overhead map or pictures? the lower the AP, the lower the propagation and more likelyhood of obstructions causing issues with LoS.
