I am working on testing streaming multicast video over wireless and
wanted to find what others have found in their testing/deployment.
I know Dartmouth is doing this on their campus. Using 802.11a radios
for this purpose.

We actually have the same Video Furnace IP TV system as Dartmouth
and we currently provide over 20 channels to our dormitories. Each
channel is currently a 2 Mbps stream.
I am starting to test the system over the wireless network. I wanted
to see if other schools had done similar testing yet.
The first question I am trying to answer is how many users per AP?
The second is will this work with 802.11g (not allowing 802.11b
speeds). As most of our users still have 802.11b/g radios?
The third is what is the implications of adding wireless VOIP sometime soon?
Our current infrastructure is Cisco 1200's using a WLSM/WLSE
solution. I hope to start migrating to a controller based system
next summer/fall.
