Thanks for everyone who replied. A lot of great input and things to think about. I think we now have a rough idea on the increases for different scenarios and type of areas.

We are moving to Aruba, ripping out our old gear and we have seen big improvements in bandwidth in our expanded and upgraded buildings. 1:1 replacements are sufficient for spaces where density is either not an issue or the AP layout was already done for density. -- Jason Trinklein Wireless Engineering Manager College of Charleston 81 St. Philip Street | Office 311D | Charleston, SC 29403 trinkle...@cofc.edu<mailto:trinkle...@cofc.edu> | (843) 300–8009 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> on behalf of Ying Zhang <yin...@unb.ca<mailto:yin...@unb.ca>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Date: Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at 12:34 PM To: "WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] upgrade from 802.11n to 802.11ac Hi, We are looking at a campus wide wireless upgrade from 802.11n to 802.11ac. Just wondering for anyone out there who has done this before, do you have an approximate number (in percentage) with regards to # of additional APs in a mainly coverage-based design. Thanks in advance.
