    Recently was approached about doing a rf design and build for a  decommissioned

    battleship. Anyone doing wireless on a steel ship.

    Hi

    How r'u?:smileyhappy:

     TIPS ONLY!

    I did similar  designs on other metal armed vehicles... Just be aware - none of the Aruba Ap's has been cert to work on a moving part or a moving vehicle. Also be aware to AC changes on ship + bad weather environment (that i think more then IP67 needed).

    That's it.

     

    BTW: in the past i deployed other vendor equiptment on a cruise ship .. Everything works fine (except the WAN bandwidth :) based sat)

     

    that's it :smileywink:

    Major considerations are bulkhead RF attenuation, where they are wanting RF, protection from environmenta; conditions, etc. It can be done, but is very specialized and requires active surveying. We've done active surveys in multiple ship-type locations and some deployments. You best bet to get more details is to work through your area Account Manager and Systems Engineer.
