Andy,

The hallways are straight and I feel like we can get good coverage through
other means. I'm just checking out the suggestion that leaky coax or a
distributed antenna might provide better coverage or a better price point.
It's not sounding like that's going to be the case.

Thanks for the info.

I've not heard firsthand of one good 2.4GHz install with the stuff. I
particularly doubt it's effectiveness in a duplex environment - I think
it is more useful in a broadcast environment.

Is the hallway straight ? Any compelling reason not to stick
a small panel antenna at one end ?
