Well, all I can think is that they must have learned a lesson from the 1130s because the quick start guide for the 1140s has a statement that reads:
"The integrated antenna design of the 1140 series access point is designed for horizontal surfaces, (table top and ceiling installations). When mounted to such surfaces, the integrated antennas produce the best antenna radiation pattern. For advanced features such as voice, location, and rogue access point detection, ceiling mounting is strongly recommended." Then they go on to say that you can also mount it vertically in smaller areas. Also, the radiation patterns clearly showed that the radio was designed for horizontal installation.

It's been challenging to say the least, but that's how we have installed them.
