So that's 30 to 40 cubes? Two or three AP spread evenly around the space will be fine. Power can be turned way down. I'd use 6 dBm at 5 GHz and 3 dBm at 2.4 GHz. You might even disable one or two of the 2.4 GHz radios depending on 2.4 GHz uptake in your network.

In an open air area (e.g a large cube farm), what is your general rule of thumb for how apart you place your AP's? One of the spaces I'm looking at is 88' x 24' and will be filled with 8x8' (48" high) cubes. I already have an initial placement, I just want to keep the engineer honest. We're still new to Aruba. My previous vendor used a different radio structure, so it's not an apples to apples comparison on the layout for me.
