WLAN in large conferences certainly is a challenge. You basically want to get as many people on 5GHz as possible due to more available channels. 2.4GHz becomes quite noisy. Also, configuring your access points for high density helps. This means disabling the lowest data rates. You also don't want to run full Tx power. Basically this will ensure high data rates and quicker handoff to a nearer AP when roaming. You don't want a client that is far away from an AP connecting to it at a 1 Megabit data rate tying up the radio. This also is key in high density seating open floorplan office situations.

His short summary was to stage and label and debug and test extensively beforehand, even if the reassembly might introduce more bugs in the field.Excellent advice. But how do you load a wireless network and an uplink with 12-14k attachments for testing purposes? I can see how to test the uplink, but testing the WLAN seems ... well, next to impossible, to me, which is why I'm querying the list. :-) Cheers, -- jra
