Sam, would you please explain your position on one AP per classroom being a mis-design? Do you have data on this you could share?
In my environment, I’ve found that in order to properly deploy 5 Ghz and .11ac, it’s pretty much inevitable that we’ll get to one AP per room, especially if one desires consistent and universal coverage. Data from existing spaces clearly show gaps in 5GHz coverage when using an every-other room scheme. Now if you are talking about 2.4 GHz I may agree with you, but even there, with removal of lower data rates, and a low-power microcell design, the data suggests it’s working very well.
