I saw this oddity at The Cheeseburger Restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii
I regret not getting closer so that I had a photo of the label that was legible.
The size of the antennas on this unit makes me think it’s not for Wi-Fi but something else. Perhaps for their hand-held order entry tablets or point of sale? On that point though, why not use Wi-Fi for those devices? So maybe it is Wi-Fi afterall.
I spotted this unit at a restaurant on a recent vacation (hello, Gananoque). We’ve got what looks to me like an indoor AP which is outside and unfortunately mounted vertically instead of horizontally as it should be.
I don’t recognize the logo on this AP. Any thoughts?
This Cisco 3702i was spotted peeking out from behind the curtain in a conference room at a hotel.

What’s odd to me is that the whole conference level was already blanketed in WiFi. Why the lone AP casually left on the floor? Also, does anyone else immediately wonder what they would get access to if they plugged their own equipment into a public network port like this?
I didn’t notice the label on the AP until zooming in on the photo (the original, multi-megapixel photo).
A colleague of mine, @smoore_bits, was on a trip to the Hoover Dam and spotted something odd on the tour inside the dam: an antenna! Neither of us is sure if it’s Wi-Fi or something else, but regardless, looks like it’s been there for some time.

In August 2016, the Canadian National Women’s Open Championship was held at the Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club in Calgary, Alberta. A friend of mine, Stephen K, went to watch the tournament and took these pictures (👍).

He said there were tripods like this all over the course holding Cisco 1552EU APs. A few things strike me as interesting here:
It’s not uncommon to see APs in the casinos in Las Vegas , however this one at the Wynn is a little odd in that it’s a) installed on the casino level in plain site, with no attempt to conceal it or blend it in and b) it’s installed just a few inches above the floor.
