Hello everyone. I am working with a customer looking to have Cisco Meraki MR86 implemented outdoors in parking lots mounted on light poles. I am designing the physical infrastructure (underground conduits, cabling and mounting the AP's to light poles. I am physical Layer-1 designer and not a data network engineer. We are looking to mount these about 10-15' from the ground, but not sure how much below the actual light fixture to avoid EMI interference. I am thinking i would need to know what type of fixture is in place and what type of voltages or current is running the light fixture? The datasheet mentions these devices are weather proof and include a pole brackets, but believe some type of PVC enclosure might be a good idea to place the MR86 into. Would appreciate any comments if you have done this type of solution in the past.
