900Mhz can handle roughly 60-70 subs per AP. Now this all depends on the packages being offered, how much each sub uses their connection, etc.
2.4Ghz would be the best bet it have Line of sight to all the rooftops. Then you can run 100+ per AP.

I have been asked by a friend to evaluate the local ISP's ability to service his new cottage development (350 lots) vs the option of building out his own network to service his residents and some additional planned development in the vicinity. Incumbent provider is running 900 Mhz Canopy (~6.5 miles to tower). Irrespective of the fact some of the coverage region comes up pretty iffy, particularly when trees are introduced amongst the cottage lots, my suspicion is there's going to be a need for additional infrastructure based solely on current capacity requirements (150 lots initially). Appreciate all comments, and thanks for all the great reading in the past (have been in R.O. for some time).
