Hi all,
I'm creating a project where that building will be full wi-fi. In order to determine how many access point I need,b I'm assuming 8 Mbps per user. But, I need to know what's the throughput of this ap to finish this math.
I've already tried to find a right information in the data sheets, but I'm in doubt.
Anybody may help me?
Thank you.

I have not tested, they yet to deploy in our clients environment since it was new.(testing in progress)
but i have this information below hope this help you :

Get a wireless site survey done professionally.

Let me also chime in. You are calculating how many aps you need by the max throughput of an access point, that is not a good idea. You should calculate using a baseline for density, number of users per ap (15-25). Then you also need to make sure you have 5ghz coverage everywhere and enough overlap to provide good roaming and to also allow clients to choose another adjacent access point(s) depending on ap load, utilization, etc. if you look at how wireless is deployed in various verticals, you might see an ap in every room like in education, an ap or two in every meeting room or large meeting rooms, ap in every other office or patient rooms just to give you an idea. This is where a site survey and an engineer whom has designed and deployed wireless can help province insight on why the came up with a specific design.

Ok, you are right about the density. But this project specificaly, I'm making this by throughput.
[Aggregate Application Throughput] / [Access Point Throughput] = Number of Access Points based on throughput
I'm talking about 8-12 Mbps per client and I'm analyzing everything. I created many projects like that, but never with this kind of access point.
And my question is about the real throughput of this new ap.
