There will be 100 concurrent users streaming video to their laptops. A 30/70 split between 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz will be used. Roughly how many APs (rounded to the nearest whole number) are needed based on client count?
Correct Answer:
C
This is the approximate number of APs that are needed based on client count, assuming that each AP can support up to 25 concurrent video streaming users. This can be calculated by using the formula:
Number of APs = (Number of Users x Percentage of Users on a Band) / Number of Users per AP on that Band
Where Number of Users is 100, Percentage of Users on 2.4 Ghz is 30%, Percentage of Users on 5 Ghz is 70%, Number of Users per AP on 2.4 Ghz is 15, and Number of Users per AP on 5 Ghz is 30. Therefore,
Number of APs = (100 x 0.3 / 15) + (100 x 0.7 / 30) Number of APs = (3.33) + (2.33) Number of APs = 5.66
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the number of APs is4.
