>From our experience, Ubiquiti works well while you are using it in office mode — I mean providing wi-fi access for 10-20 devices per access point and approx 400 sq ft. — but if you have plans on providing wi-fi for large meeting rooms or conference halls where you will gather 50-100 ppl for lecture for example, Ubiquiti will fail. The only way is to use wireless network controller — we use the one from Cisco — and compatible access points — I think it is the solution mentioned as "enterprise" in the article. Actually, we covered our whole space of 8700 sq.ft. by one wireless network controller Cisco 2504 and six wireless access points Cisco 3704i and Cisco 2704i. We hosted a lot of events, had up to 400 devices online at once and 0 (zero) minutes of wi-fi downtime for 4 months since our launch. So, one can call it expensive, but it is worth it. -- Sergey Petrenko Terminal 42 http://terminal42.com.ua -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
