Good morning - I can't speak for our on campus network, as that is all managed by wireless lan controllers. But I can speak about a different experience -
As a consultant for NANOG, we would set up wireless networks in conference centers across the country. The wireless space would be pretty saturated by hotel equipment, and neighboring networks. For the conference, we would use up to 20 Cisco 1200 series APs with 2.4 and 5ghz radios. To get our signal through mess, we'd use channels 1 4 6 8 11. In order to figure out where to place our APs channel-wise, we would use a WiSpy analyzer. With this tactic, we were able to successfully support upwards of 250 users on 4 access points in the general sessions - Pete Hoffswell - Network Manager [email protected] http://www.davenport.edu 616-732-1101 On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 10:40 AM, Kellogg, Brian D. <[email protected]> wrote: > I’m interested in any real-world results as well.**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Thanks,**** > > Brian**** > > ** ** > > *From:* The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Lee H Badman > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 08, 2012 10:34 AM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* 4-channels in 2.4 GHz**** > > ** ** > > With no intent to open a conversational can 'o worms, I'm curious if > anyone is running a 4-channel plan on their production WLANs, that is > willing to share their opinions and experiences on the topic. > > Thanks- > > Lee**** > > ** ** > > Lee H.
