Wifi Project

I'm looking to install a wifi service for my hotel. The hotel has 3 floors and 36 guest rooms. There are cat5 runs to several of the rooms but not all. There are no drop ceilings so I really want to cut into the drywall as little as possible.

Anyone have any ideas? Are there products that will allow me to use the cat5 runs to spread out the wifi, but not take up all the cat5 jacks? How would I go about mounting a device without it sticking out or looking unprofessional?

Where do all you Cat5 feeds come from, is there a breakout, wiring cabinet or router on each floor?

They all go back to the phone room on the 1st floor. The phone room is in the center of the property. We have a router in this room right now.

Panoptic makes some APs called the Jack Pack that fit into the wall pretty well. We use them on our hotel installs.

How large are each of the floors? if possible you would only need one or two Amped Wireless AP20000Gs I have one of those and the coverage is awesome!!! easily stream videos from 150 ft away and the AP is inside of my mixed construction house and that kinda range is from down the road from my house. so your guest should not have much of a problem with getting a good signal from just 2 of those... depending on the hotel layout.

if possible would you please provide some floor plans so we can take a better look? Thanks!
