Hi,
I have a WLC 4400 with multiple LAP.
I have a small area with 30 wireless devices. I want to install 2 APs, to make sure that all wireless devices have a connection to the wireless network and have proper bandwidth. The issue is that the APs will be near each other. Will the APs interfere with each other and will each AP receive an equal amount of connections?

You can have multiple APs as long as they are on different channels. Now the client still decides which Ap it will associate to, so you have no control over that. I would place the APs on opposite sides though.

Hello,
As per my research and discussion, I have came to know that if you are using Access point 2600 series,
A single 2600 series Access point can support 24 clients. So you need to use 2 Aps for that. Now the client still decides that which Ap it will associate to, so you have no control over that.SO it will be better that place the APs on opposite sides though.

Having the APs next to each other will cause your client to roam in crazy way, so simply there is no guarenetee that client connection will be stable even if your APs are on different channels given the fact that client are always probing for better signal.
