[AusNOG] Maximum users per AP

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey there,

Most enterprise access points only do up to about 50 users.  Dense wifi is
still a complicated thing, which some vendors address with trickery, but
the limits still apply on frequencies and so on.

I recently tried to design something for a thousand users and the plan was
to use as much 5Ghz as I could, but we realised that most iPhones and other
smartphones that while they do N, they do it on 2.4Ghz... which is a NOISY
spectrum to play in.

How big is the space?  Some of the niche players can do better than
others... but it will involve a LOT of kit regardless.
