I'll take a picture of what we did. Use the Hardened 350 (or now you have to go with the hardened 1200). -20 deg F to 150 deg F, 95% humidity version. Put it in a NEMA box for Rain protection, and walla, you can take it up a tower. Its POE capable so power not an issue either...
And these boxes are now about $650 each (I get them actually for about $550, but only because I have my sources, and a buddy deal from a VERY large distributor), which makes them competitive to other solutions, and it has the ability for radio expansion (made for upgrade for 802.11g, but also future standard radios, OR (my hope) a second radio) and with two antenna connectors, quite plausible! Only negative I have found is Certified Antenna limitations, and 100 mW radio (which still is better then the 60 mW that SB has in the APPO). But the management, etc capabilities and VLAN/port blocking capabilities have been a God send (alonmg with Repeater and Back-up modes...) Scott Send pics of the NEMA box install if anybody interested. One box has been through and survived two NEAR lightning strikes (Once a hit obliterated my Trango gear on the same tower less than three feet away. Caused the Cisco to go off-line, but all it took was a new Power Injector on the Cisco, and she came back up like a champ. Been working good for 2 months after that... SSH is nice for CLI as well..
