It's a moving target. It's also dependant on your customer habits. Grandma and grandpa customers will allow more per ap than a family with 3 teenagers. It also changes throughout the day.
My business customers tend to have more steady usage (people listening to the radio, 10 people checking email every 5 minutes, chat windows open, remote computing apps etc.). My home based customers have higher peaks but use less on a consistent basis. Here's an interesting note. We have about 70/30 home vs. business customers. It might even be 80/20. Our business users today use ALMOST as much bandwidth from 8 to 5 as my home users use from 6 to 11pm. Sorry I'm not able to give you more specific help. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Stewart" <stewa...@westcreston.ca> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 8:21 AM Subject: [WISPA] Simultaneous connections > Using a 900 AP (like Trango) theoretically allows up to 3000 (3.0 > meg) bandwidth.
