How high a ceiling can I mount a MR44

Good Day!

 

We have a new office with very high ceilings.  25ft   

 

I've looked at the XY YZ XZ maps in the Meraki specs.  I really have no idea what those mean.   Are the -25 through 10 number the DB/gain?   Really just need to know what the coverage is in feet/yards...

Can I use ceiling mounted MR44 for this area?  The rooms are very open with no walls. 

 

Thanks for any insights! 😎

It is the coverage radius that the AP will cover depending on the position it is in.

That is pretty high and though it will kind of work, the data below shows the recommended heights for different antenna types:

Although this is for external antennas, the first three rows compare to the MR44 internal antennas.
