Aironet AO4800-E Support

[a-vazquez]

One of my clients has the Aironet AO4800-E Ethernet Access Point and the PCMCIA PC4800 cards. How many PC4800 cards can each Access Point station support?

[j-block]

I think the Aironet AO4800-E Ethernet Access Point can support over 1000 PC cards. Although the number of cards that can utilize the throughput effectively depends on the amount of throughput each card is requesting and if they are requesting simultaneously.

Hope this helps

In our experience of rolling out WLAN's with 4800's, the quantity of users is not as important as what applications the users are accessing/running.

In addition, it is worth investigating the % utilisation of the backbone if this could cause problems to the WLAN consider filtering packets/frames on the AP's

To quote the book, the AP4800E supported 1024 users.
