The Golden Spike Casino in Las Vegas has a cool outdoor area with lots of games. They’re covering the area with Wi-Fi via Meraki MR66s.

What’s interesting is the way they’ve mounted these APs on the pole. There’s three of them mounted around the pole in a way that appears they want to use them almost like sector antennas. I imagine the metal pole sitting behind each AP doesn’t help the RF. Hopefully they’re allowing the Meraki cloud to do automatic channel assignment. 😊
Up on the wall there’s another MR66 (I’m quite certain it’s not an MR62 which only has two antennas).

The question I had here was: did they remove two of the antennas for RF reasons (doubtful) or because they mounted it too close to the panel antenna right above? ? Or worse, is the panel antenna plumbed into the AP?? I could’t tell in the dark.
