Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Classroom wireless WAP counts

[Scott Smith]

I have used 20 - 40 users per AP for years.  Just recently I was speaking with a person I view as a WiFi "guru" and he had suggested 15 - 30. Either way it depends on what the end user is going to be doing.  If you truly don't know, I would suggest taking caution and using the lower number per AP. Of course now we are saying per Antenna instead of AP since some of the APs we have use more than one radio. Gruenhagen, Timothy T. Mr. wrote: I am working to develop a rule of thumb number of seats per classroom WAP for our institution.  I realize that it is a highly variable ratio depending on what type of applications are being run, size of room, etc.  I'm considering 1 WAP per 25- 50 seats.  Does anyone have a number they  use for a starting point?    Thanks, Tim Gruenhagen Manager of Network Engineering Miami University Oxford Ohio ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. -- Scott Smith Network Engineering Services Southern Illinois University Carbondale [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
