    Has anyone seen this new Cisco 702W AP?

    Seems like a nice competitor to the AP-93H with upgrades. It would be really nice to see an Aruba AP with dual radios similar to this Cisco one.

    I've never been a big fan of APs like this from a design perspective.

     

    Whilst I appreciate the compact aspects, this tends to encourage customers to mount them low, where the RF always gets obscured. In addition, the antenna elements aren't spaced far enough apart to combat multipath properly.

     

    As a consequence, when I've used similar HP APs in the past, the results are always massively disappointing for the client.
