Hello, We needed to wireless enable a math lab for a 100 workstations and we ended up using 4 Aruba A/P's and controller running 802.11N. We are seeing throughput in excess of 200meg at the workstations and they have experienced no issues with them. We have them secured with Certificates on both ends also.
I would contact them and see if they can do a proof of concept for you as they did here. We are actually a Cisco shop with A/P's but I could not get them to guarantee success in the environment that we have them in. Aruba said "No problem" and they delivered on that statement.

All the equipment is in the same room -- approximately 50'x 50'. Many consumer grade 802.11n APs seem to top out at well below 100Mbps. If anyone can recommend equipment that can achieve higher throughput, please let me know. I won't say price is no object, but we need to consider the options.
