We’re getting ready to deploy almost 900 of the Cisco 1810W (hospitality AP’s) with the cradles in the residence halls. We’re using 802.1x in order to allow students to make use of the additional LAN ports in the cradles.
Our design is a high density 5Ghz deployment with some 2.4Ghz radios turned on where needed (sparse). With the buildings mostly comprised of brick/rebar, the AP’s will be in every other room staggered across hallways. In our suites, one is being placed in the common area which easily reaches the 2-3 bedrooms. My design is based on 25% power utilization which will compensate for any AP’s that may fail during the evening. The Controllers will automatically adjust power levels up to 100% in the case of failures on a floor. Sentinel and Cisco has been great helping with the design and planned implementation that we are doing right now. Best of luck! Shayne ---------------------------------- T.

AP locations are determined first by predictive design and then later using APoaS survey. After final installation we'll do another survey to tweak power levels and luckily we've not had to move or add any APs yet.
