Rugged APs

Question

Will RW have any ruggedized APs, like Cisco has for some of its models.

In warehousing and some other locations, sometimes there is dust and temperatures can go just below 0C. You have 2 options. You can either use 7762 or 7782, which is far too expensive or you can go McGyver style and buy a plastic case, which does the job, but it doesn't appeal to me or the customer that much.

But if you could make a ruggedized AP from for example 7372 (maybe name it 7372-R) that would be dust proof and go to lets saj -10 or -5 easy, we could be more competitive in those verticals.

we are using the T300 units for our truck shunting yard.

Perhaps the T300 series is a bit closer to affordable, at around half the price or less compared to the 7782?

This box might be too large for your applications..

But it has a fan and some temperature control.

This enclosure is smaller and might work for something the size of the 7372 but it's just a box w/ no fan.

Have you found anything better for outdoor applications?
