Excellent message. We had all kinds of problems with users who want wireless LAN technology but refuse to accept/realize/understand that the technology is has limitations. Everything from privacy, sufficient bandwidth for online exams, reserving AP and the associated RF space for specific user groups etc. came up after the install. I make sure you get user agreeement on the functionality that will be available with such a deployment.

We are in the process of installing access point all over campus. We keep telling people that this is a compliment to wired connections not a replacement.

We are designing two new 200 seat classrooms that will be adjacent to one another. Discussion is focussing on whether we should hardwire or go wireless.
Functionally we must be capable of simultaneous networking which means 400+ simultaneous links.
Is this doable with wireless?
Thanks for any help
