I should really stop calling these "commercial grade"  They are really
small business or home office grade.  The lesser stuff is more like cereal
box toy surprise grade.

A medium size business would want something more like:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833120140 with a
large business wanting many of them.  BTW, those are the ones that the
Orange County Public Library uses.  The one on Edgewater where GOLUG used
to meet has two of them mounted on the ceiling at opposing corners and
they have excellent coverage.  I couldn't find a spot in there that didn't
have 100% signal strength and yet the first row of spaces in the parking
lot had me down to <60%.
