Hello, I've been posed a tricky question by someone on a planning committee for a new campus building. "...is it actually feasible for 500 simultaneous WiFi connections in a lecture room?" I was hoping that there would be someone that might have experience of answering (or providing a solution to) such a question who could offer some input as to whether this is possible, or how close to the figure of 500 could we realistically achieve with the technology currently available? We are Cisco a site so ideally any solution would need to be one Cisco is capable of delivering, but if there are other vendors that are proven to be able to provide this kind of coverage to good effect, then I'd be glad to hear of your experiences. All the best, Jezz Palmer. ------------------------------------- Jezz Palmer Library & Information Services Swansea University Singleton Park Swansea SA2 8PP ------------------------------------- ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
