Our freshman IT whiz-kid was telling me that, when we walked down to the field for the Finalist medals he took a peak at the field hardware. Apparently there is a cluster of high end routers located at the scorer's table in that corner. I was just talking to one of our CE/EE's, here at Belcan, who did a lot of work in the RF lab at FAU. Locating a group of routers in a cluster can and will cause near-field cancellation.
... yet another tidbit ...

It's a single AP with 6 antennas (if you look closely, there are 3 for 2.4ghz and 3 for 5ghz).
In the range we are talking about (no more than 50' with no solid obstructions), 802.11 should have no problems with signal strength assuming the bridge is mounted well.
