After doing some poking around on campus we found these gems (attached picture) on 2 utility poles that pass by our east campus. Standing underneath it I got a -46 RSSI in both 5 and 2.4Ghz, maybe 75-100 yards away inside our hockey fieldhouse, through lots of brick, cinder blocks and metal, I was still picking the 2.4Ghz at -64.
