Explanation

The primary benefit of wireless mesh networking in a historic building is that APs only require power at their installation location - they do not require a wired Ethernet backhaul run to each AP. In a mesh deployment, only the Root AP (RAP) needs a wired uplink; all other Mesh APs (MAPs) use wireless backhaul links to communicate back to the network. This dramatically reduces the need to drill holes, run conduit, or pull network cables through walls, ceilings, and floors of a historically sensitive structure. This minimizes both structural damage (drilling/cutting) and aesthetic impact (exposed cable runs or conduit), directly addressing the customer's concerns about preserving the historic facility.
