The thing you need to watch out for with Ubiquiti is that they don't support DFS, so the entire U-NII-2 channel space is off limits for 5 GHz. That's pretty significant because you're limited to 9 x 20 MHz channelsor4 x 40 MHz channels. Keeping the power level down and creating smallcellsis essential for high density, so with less channels your hands arereallytied in that case. Also, avoid the Zero Handoff marketing nonsense they advertise; I'm sure it can work great for a low client residential areabutit requires all APs to share a single channel and depends uponcoordinatingonly one active transmitter at a time, so it simply won't scale. I don't have experience with other vendors at large scale or highdensity.I don't think what you're talking about is really high density anymore though. That's just normal coverage. Wireless is a lot more complicated than selecting a vendor, though. If you know what you're doing even Ubiquiti could work decently, but if you don't even a Cisco solutionwon'tsave you. You really need to be on top of surveying correctly and having appropriate AP placement and channel distribution.

Its going tobe8-10 buildings with possibly a over 1000 users at any given time. We are looking at Ruckus and Ubiquiti as options to get over the high number of devices we are definitely going to encounter. How did you do it, and what would you advise for product and layout?
