All I can say is your company is setting you up to fail.
The above RFQ is a dead give-away. In the wireless profession, a wireless site survey to be conducted. There is no room for guessing games.

Thanks,
I was hoping to have answers to the ones that are more generic in nature.
1 - Can I know if the AP's restrict number of devices that can connect simultaneously or can this be set via software, and is there load balancing capability in the WLC.
2 - If the above is true, how can I determine the total number of AP, WLC, and switches (with redundancy) and keeping in mind that each switch has 24/48 ports and considering multiple-floors since the switches have to accommodate WLC, APs, and interconnection between switches as well (taking the given number of concurrent users to be correct).
3 - From my understanding a cloud based routing VPN is simply a VPN connection between the 2 firewalls running in the cloud, am I correct in understanding this.
Also I attached a DMZ setup if someone could advise if that is a suitable DMZ setup.
I'm seeking general understanding so I have something to propose at the very least.
Thanks..

There is a setting to restrict how many wireless clients an authenticated single user can get registered (not includes PSK). I am going to say this sort of mentality won't work. The wireless client will make the ultimate choice which AP to join. Restricting how many wireless client an AP can have will only blow up in someone's face. I've seen it too many times, I sit back with a bag of popcorns and watch the fireworks. It can be very entertaining.

If no one knows how to deploy wireless, get an integrator to do it. By the time the company finds and/or trains someone else to do it, it will be too late and the budget has already been blown un-ncessarily.

Thanks for clarifying that.
On the same note I wanted to know which approach is better.
On the Ground and 1st floor the combined number of AP's is 7 as its an open area with minimal-to-no obstruction and the number of users do not exceed 300.
1 - Understanding that WLC and AP's both connect to switches, and in this case the same switch. My question being is it better to have 2 WLC (1 per floor) and then connect them to 2 switches via 1 uplink per switch as seen below.
OR
2 - Can I do it with 1 WLC connected to 1 or 2 switch(es) for redundancy.
I'm more inclined to the the 1st option simple for better redundancy.
Any valuable thoughts.
Thanks..

Thanks for clarifying that.
Very much helpful in determining placement of equipment and connectivity.
Could I just know the general guidelines for planning for catastrophic events.
And
What do they mean by "Please provide details on the wireless controller topology that will take advantage of this enhanced resilience".
Appreciate all the help, thanks.
