I have 1400 Meru access points and 7 controllers. There is one person dedicated
to supporting this, but he also receives support from the other network
engineers assigned to the buildings for design, install and troubleshooting (5
others). I honestly could use two for the backend support.

We have 450 APs increasing to 550 this year, 700 the year after. We do not
have anyone dedicated to wireless nor do we have a formula.

Of all the people that have commented, Are you pleased with the ratio of tech
staff to wireless devices installed on your campus?
Are you implying that you don't need staff to support
I would summarize our deployment as follows:
Network: 750 APs , 4 controllers, 6000 concurrent users during a busy day.
Staff:
- 1 wireless expert (me!) that spends about 75% of the time on wireless related

I think this varies also with the type of access point deployed.
Westmont's information:
275 Meraki WAPs
2000 users
0.3 staff (more or less)
Helpdesk has 3 people, probably 0.3 FTE on wireless problems. We anticipate
that being reduced with recent deployment of XpressConnect Cloudpath.
