Hi all,
I have been tasked at upgrading the WiFi in our office which consists of 2 floors across 2 wings (4 floors in total). Each floor is 50x20 metres with approx. 2.5m reinforced concrete so signal propagation between the floors doesn't really occur. There are 400 potential users throughout the building but only ~100 are connected at once.
Currently there are 6 AP105s on each floor (Horizontal Mounted against the walls) connected to a 7210 controller running ArubaOS 6.4.2.4. We are currently running a pilot with a 205 where we have mounted it horizontally and switched off 3 of the AP105s around it. We have not seen any adverse effects from this but there is the occasional CPU spike on the 205.
After doing some research, I have found the 3 200 series option but there doesn’t seem to be many real-world examples of AP 205, 215 and 225 usage. Each floor will have approx. 30-50 WiFi users. The users will be doing web browsing as well as opening small-medium office documents. I think the spikes I’ve been seeing are users logging on and off when the files sync.
After all the spiel, the question is this: How many users can each model support when web browsing and opening office documents? Which model would you get for this scenario?
Bonus point: what do aruba class as low, medium and high density deployments?
Many Thanks.
