The Model 1044 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. The cover attaches to the back-box with torsion springs and conceals the AP.
