High-Density Wireless Networks for Auditoriums

Auditoriums and other large venues present unique wireless networking challenges for IT teams to overcome. You could have hundreds or thousands of guests connecting to the network in a single, large room, and they all expect a fast and error-free Wi-Fi experience. Simply deploying more access points gets expensive, but you need to ensure adequate coverage and bandwidth. This guide to designing high-density wireless networks for auditoriums explains the coverage, bandwidth, and performance requirements and discusses the Wi-Fi solutions from RUCKUS Networks that best address the biggest high-density Wi-Fi hurdles.

What Is a High-Density Wireless Network?

A high-density wireless network has at least 30 clients connecting to a single access point (AP). Auditoriums are the perfect example of a location where many people congregate and still expect wireless access for their devices. For cost-effective wireless network design, you should deploy the fewest possible APs needed to connect the maximum number of users, but you also want to leave room for growth. To help simplify this calculation, RUCKUS Networks offers a range of high-density wireless access points, including Wi-Fi 6E models like the R560 capable of connecting up to 1536 users on a single AP.

High-Density Wireless Bandwidth Considerations

In addition to connecting a large number of devices in a condensed area, high-density wireless networks also process a lot of data, so the bandwidth requirements can be significant. That means you must deploy enough APs to handle the expected throughput from your users and applications. RUCKUS Wi-Fi 6E access points assist in this area using patented BeamFlex+ smart antenna technology that maximizes throughput on each channel. RUCKUS APs like the R760 also use 4K QAM and 320 MHz wide channels on the 6 GHz band to further increase throughput, resulting in a fast and reliable Wi-Fi connection for staff, presenters, and audience members alike.

Give Auditorium Guests a Reliable Wi-Fi Experience

Wi-Fi coverage “dead spots,” timeouts, and dropped client connections are common complaints in high-density wireless networks for auditoriums, and they can cause guest frustration and even negative online reviews. RUCKUS wireless APs like the R770 use ChannelFly dynamic channel technology to increase Wi-Fi capacity and smoothly transition clients between channels without any dead time. RUCKUS access points were independently validated to deliver the best wireless performance and reliability in a high-density environment, ensuring a positive customer experience.
