Note
If you plan to mount the access point in an area subject to environmental air space with the intention
of upgrading to a 5-GHz radio, Cisco recommends that you mount the access point horizontally so
that its antennas point down. Doing so ensures that the access point complies with regulatory
requirements for environmental air space after the 5-GHz radio is installed.
