100 resident students, 12 dorm parents, two floors. All have private devices, including Wii, xbox, ipad, etc. All stream youtube, Netflix, skype, etc. Friday night is probably our heaviest usage. Three or four APs in the dorm area. Have seen as many as 50+ on an individual AP with no proble

In the last dorm we built (13 stories, typical university construction), we had to put the APs in the hallways due to non-accessible ceilings in the rooms (hard pan bottom of the floor above forms the room ceilings). We asked early during the design phase for something in/on the ceiling that we

If the system is designed for performance and redundant coverage between AP's in the 5 GHz band, it's unlikely that the ratio of students per AP will even come into play except in your more public/general spaces e.g. living room. In our newer residential halls, our design results in there being

students per AP in residence halls

2013-01-11 Thread Tom O'Donnell
I was wondering what other schools have for a ratio of students to AP's in the residence halls, either definitely or approximately? If you have such a number, how do you count dual-band AP's? They're doing more than a 2.4GHz AP, but not quite as much as two AP's. Then one last related question..
