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.
Huh ????
Please verify your facts before making blanket statements which are not accurate ...

Keeping the power level down and creating small cellsis essential for high density, so with less channels your hands are reallytied in that case. Also, avoid the Zero Handoff marketing nonsense theyadvertise; I'm sure it can work great for a low client residential area butit requires all APs to share a single channel and depends upon coordinatingonly one active transmitter at a time, so it simply won't scale.I don't have experience with other vendors at large scale or high density.I don't think what you're talking about is really high density anymorethough. That's just normal coverage. Wireless is a lot more complicatedthan selecting a vendor, though. If you know what you're doing evenUbiquiti could work decently, but if you don't even a Cisco solution won'tsave you. You really need to be on top of surveying correctly and havingappropriate AP placement and channel distribution.On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 1:57 AM, Sina Owolabi < notify.sina () gmail com > wrote:HiWe are profiling equipment and design for an expected high user densitynetwork of multiple, close nit, residential/hostel units.
