I am wiring a concrete building with 3” to 5” concrete walls/floors with steel reinforcing rebar. We are drilling holes through some of these walls so that we could place the Antennas through but NOT the access points!
We are going to use 802.11n MIMO routers and access points, which each have 3 external antennas. We want to remove the external antennas and attach 6 meter long extension cables to the antennas so that we can thread the antennas through the concrete walls into different rooms, I repeat DIFFERENT rooms. Each individual antenna would be no where near each other, at least 20 feet away from each other. This way, each access point, which has 3 external antennas, would have 1 antenna each into 3 different rooms all connected via external cable back to a single access point.
Question is, considering these are MIMO access points, would this still work? I don't care if MIMO works or not, the goal is to get past the concrete walls without needing to buy 1 access point for each individual room. This will decide how we decide to wire the entire building.
