Outside AP?

The new desk AP's work great and I've seen that a ceiling one is in the works, but how about an outside version? In my "current" environment (moving the AP7's from test to production next weekend) I have 3 Plume pods which work fine but the coverage in the back yard was spotty so i added a Ubiquity AP outside for coverage. It does not do mesh with the Plume's and has a separate SSID but takes care of the coverage issue when needed. Any thoughts on a Firewalla AP that's designed for external use that would mesh with the AP7?

  Too early to tell on this. We will know better after we get the ceiling version out first. 

  There are a lot of restrictions like AFC for an outdoor unit, and the WiFi 7 is very hot ...

  Would it be possible to get an enclosure for the AP7C? I've seen the link below but I need one for an AP7C. I don't have power at the mount point, but I do have POE.

  If you want to enclose the AP7C, make sure you have enough venting for the back of the unit. WiFi7 can get exceptionally hot, so need vent holes
