Hello all,
A customer of mine wants to add some additional access points in their building, however the distance from the switch to the AP location will exceed 100 meters. We didn't get the actual number yet, but let's say it's most likely around 150 meters.
The question or idea we had was to use UTP repeaters. I'm just not sure about how this works in combination with the AP requiring PoE ...
Can we "just" use a PoE injector and disable PoE on the switch, will this also "extend" the UTP signal?
I'm guessing if we go for a "UTP repeater" it HAS to be one with PoE? Also, does this "inject" PoE (aka is this the same as a PoE injector) or how should I see this...
I may be overthinking this, but the solution obviously needs to work. They are currently using a meshing solution at that location but they decided to migrate to a new environment and get rid of the meshing solution.
Thanks for any advice on this topic!
