Does anyone have any good solutions for implementing a wireless system with as minimal cabling as possible?

I hope not. Most of us make a living installing wires.

Cisco has a "mesh" wireless solution where WAPs are not only client access points but repeaters/relays to other WAPs. That may be an option for you but you will need to get power to them.

mdaniel, The original question from Xcountry was: Does anyone have any good solutions for implementing a wireless system with as minimal cabling as possible? If you are using a POE switch to power the WAPs aren't you running wire to do that? So why would you use a mesh technology with it's inherent throughput limitations and complexity? TekMason

This is what we have been looking at but Motorola is very hard to work with. Hp puts out something similar but we haven't been able to find too much info on it. Just wondering if you fine gents may be out there implementing something of this sort! https://www.motorola.com/web/Busine...less_WallPlate_specsheet.pdf?localeId=33

TekMason That would depend on the size Hotel/Motel you are talking about. I miss read your ?, I was referring to seamless hand off. But do see you point as far has mesh goes for the larger installs. The Proxims we use does this, but have also seen a demo for the product Merritt recommended and they seem to work pretty well also. Sorry for my miss read.
