We did a 2000 person event for a church using the new Cnpilot hotspot
gear. We had 28 nodes, 4 CTM controllers and a CCR for the gateway used
some QOS at the head end and
at the back end.
We saw more than 3000 devices connected at one given time not all were
doing anything but it worked out very well.

We have been asked to quote on providing a WiFi system that they think
will have 5000 people at it. We have done fairs and other outdoor
events, but this one is different. They are using the same app that
was used at the superbowl with bracelets that are activated through
wifi (changing colors, etc.) , and it also uses phone apps to interact
with the production to some extent (some details not very well defined
ATM).
But, the prospect of having 1000 actually connected devices in a very
small area (2 small city blocks) is daunting. We have a good BH to
the area so overall usage is not as much as a concern as having enough
APs, and the right type of APs, to do the job. I envision having said
AP devices on several buildings on the block with some form of
distribution BH system. Of course, the APs will need to be fully
roaming friendly, etc.
Equipment suggestions welcome J
