More details please:

- which brand of access points are you talking about? Mikrokit

- how many users are you planning for? Around 50 give or take
- what devices are the users carrying? Iphones, Ipads, Tablets, Phones, Few laptops
- how far are they going to be from the access points? At most 300m

- do you have clear line of sight between the APs and the users? Mostly though there are walls. Its a big hotel
- what is the link speed between the video server and the access points? 300mbps

- what are the specs of the video server - CPU / RAM? not sure but high enough

- what else is going on in that area - other guests, other WLANs, etc? There other wifis in the area

A lot of things need to be known or planned for to ensure perfect delivery.

I know that and I shall hire a competent company / person to undertake the roll out. My questions are more fact finding on if its possible to do something like that

Kind regards,

Bernard

We are currently planning a party for a friend and I wanted to load some videos on a server then hook it up with these powerful outdoor AP (its a big hotel) then have all the guests log in and stream the video(via XMBC or MediaTomb) to their devices (720p and higher video mark you)

I have several questions
Do these Access Points have a maximum no of users who can be connected?
Do they have a maximum bandwith?
What are the disadvantages of these idea and what should I watch out for?

I haven't made a decision on which to buy so go ahead and suggest whatever you think has the highest no of simultaneous users and bandwith
