Product Description
The Model 1444 In-Plane Series is an economical, aesthetic, and easy-to-install suspended ceiling mounting kit for APs from most vendors. A cutout is made in the ceiling tile and the tile bridge and back box is placed above the ceiling panel. The AP fastens within the backbox onto an included mounting bracket or T-bar bracket and the cover attaches to the back-box with torsion springs and conceals the AP. Alternately, an AP-specific trim is used to support the AP front face slightly below the ceiling for optimal wireless coverage. The AP or antenna trim is easily swapped when AP or antenna model changes.
