Wireless Network in a Warehouse Help
Hi,
I have a warehouse which is approximately 90m x 30m which i need to equip wirelessly. There will be approx 4 PC workstations and associated printers at the left end hard wired to the incoming comms cabinet (which is connected to the server in the offices by fibre optic). I need to equip future workstation expansion wirelessly, as the warehouse staff will use PDAs. The ceiling is approx 10m high and has three ridges like /\/\/\ - there is metallic racking from floor to ceiling and into the ceiling voids created by the roof shape.
How would i be best to use wireless technologies? I have though about three wireless access points at the top centre of the building, bottom centre and middle right connected to a wireless router on the middle left (hardwired into comms box) as below

Where comms is the comms cabinet, wr is the wireless router, and ap is the access point.
Any direction regarding standards, even makes and models would be most appreciated - my knowledge of wireless is fairly sketchy
Thanks
