Is this 4000 simultaneous connections (all using it at once), or total number of users that will be in attendance and maybe wanting to use a wifi connection at some point ? If it's total number, any idea on how many might be connected at any point in time ? > > What I am wondering is. How many simultaneous users can a > 1252AG handle? A previous poster suggested 25-30 users per AP. A quick search reveals quite a few credible sites with similar figures. I'm sure you can do the math, that's quite a few AP's. MS suggests an average of 2-4 users "is a good average to maximize the performance while still effectively utilizing the wireless LAN" :) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457091.aspx > And is there any difference in capacity if I use > lightweight units and > backend into a Wireless access controller? In fact. how > many users can they > (4402) handle? Doesn't appear to be a "user" limit on the 4400 range. They are limited based on how many AP's they can control. 4402 comes in 12, 25 & 50 AP models. 4404 is for up to 100 AP's. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps6302/ps8322/ps6307/product_data_sheet0900aecd802570b0_ps6366_Products_Data_Sheet.html regards, Tony. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
