The R700 does beam shaping. A couple dBi, but that's effective enough. I haven't worked with it much, the guys that do say the ZoneDirector isn't required, but you'll be missing out on some of the goodies like auto load balancing and handoff, IIRC.

I'm not touching the Unifi comment...

I have 3 in a big hall with thousands of people. I regularly see 350 wireless associations. 0 complaints in like 5 years now? No controller. Mikrotik hotspot.

    Thx for the Ruckus recommendation- what’s the magic sauce that
    allows so many concurrent connections?  The ZoneFlex R710 claims
    up to 500 connections, does any of the new UniFi stuff get
    anywhere near that?

    Is a ZoneDirector required for using the APs?

        Project to provide public Wi-Fi coverage in a church
        sanctuary.  Occupancy ranges from 300-900; walls are concrete
        and ceiling is multipath-infused metal.  Ideas how to make the
        best of this?

        Thinking UniFi AC-Pro, limiting G radio to 45 users, limiting
        AC radio to 65

        Install 6x APs below metal rafters, turn down G radio transmit
        power to mitigate self-interference from channel reuse.  Green
        circles show approximate placement, kinda skewed in photo tho.
