Oh forgot to give the AP counts

Perth Campus - 44 APs (recently upgraded all to Aruba AP325)
Pembroke Campus - 95 APs (all Aruba AP225)
Woodroffe Campus - 1320 APs (about 80% are Aruba AP 225, with the rest 
consisting of Aruba AP 135, AP125 and AP105. The plan is to upgrade all the non 
802.11ac APs to AP325 and AP335 in the near future).

At Algonquin College on our main campus, we have about 1300 Aruba APs (Mostly 
AP-225 Wave 1 AC) and our top concurrent user count is a bit over 15K in 19 
buildings this year. Wireless traffic takes up to 75% (or more on some days) of 
our internet bandwidth during the year.

Our college moved to a hybrid model for program delivery where portions of 
courses are provided in an e-learning format to complement traditional methods 
a few years ago. Thus, more and more of our programs are requiring students to 
use their own laptops for their courses. Each year our college is reducing 
computer labs in favor of mobile lounges to allow students to work and 
collaborate anywhere on campus with wireless access.

Hi

Just looking at our number of APs and client count to get a feel of where we 
are. We have 45k staff and faculty, 1700 APS, top concurrent user count of 23k, 
30 buildings. Net is currently only 802.11N.

I would like to hear where other Canadian universities and colleges stand.
(Not that others don't interest me, it's really more like a justification for 
more funds so I need examples that are similar to us)



Thanks
