Hi Kevin, We use Xirrus arrays for wifi at conferences and events in Uganda. The XN4 array can do 256 users at once and costs approx USD 3000 from various resellers. They are also excellent for delivering cable-like performance in offices and schools. You can do a comparison between wifi and cabled topologies so that you can make a decision Please take a look at the link below: http://www.xirrus.com/Products/Wireless-Arrays/XN-Series Kind regards, Bernard On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 12:57 PM, Kevin Omondi <kevin.ouma@gmail.com> wrote:
Skunks,
I happen to work for an organization that has grown from 4 users to over 55 users.
As a result our connectivity (internal ) has been strained and in my opinion needs to be done properly ( it has been a patch job) of adding extra access points.
I heard that beyond certain throughputs wifi tends to be unreliabel. Is that true ? Isnt there a commercial wireless access point that can handle hundreds of users or is structured cabling the way to go.
Another issue is that our office is on a top floor with masts and sattelite dishes. Could there be some interference ?
If you are an experienced network consultant ( designing corporate LAN / Structured cabling/ ISP connectivity) do contact me I may have work for you.
Thanks Kevin Omondi
