Big wireless access point :)

[vincent.iserentant]

hi guys,

I need advice.

I need to make a wireless network witch could handle 3 000 to 50 000 people (and maybe more)

This is to be able to cover open areas, and give the possibility to all visitors of a event to access the local network and a local website.

What's your recommendations to build this network (architecture and hardware)?

Thanks in advance.

My recommendation is to consult with a professional Cisco Wireless partner. The scope of your project is large and you will want to make sure someone understands all your requirements and needs. You can check the cisco wireless section. Cisco has a few white papers on their stadium installs.

What type of enviroment ?

I must agree with George on this.  With that much client you need something done right.  There are sooooo many things that needed to be asked FIRST before you start and this forum just wouldn't be enough.

As George recommended (+5), you need to engage a reputable integrator/contractor.
