Very true, but remember, but we're talking end users. How many of them are
transmitting and receving all at the same time and what type of traffic?
It's essentially just a wireless HUB and that you can easily fit 30-40
_end-users_ on. And remember one base station is good for 1500 ft. Once
you move into a new base station, it's different bandwidth.
BTW: For those of you who are cisco resellers, there is a special NFR (Not
for Resale) for their Aironet solution in November.

Something to note, the 11MB is shared by all users of the base station, they
don't each get 11MB.
