HI Everyone,

I am new to wifi and I am going to start a business in Arizona offering Wifi Connectivity in Arizona. I am trying to find out which AP I can purchase that offers the most bandwidth and have the Most simultaneous users on at at time with out getting bogged down. Anyone know what AP I should use. From what I have seen 20 concurrent users to Proxim Orinco 4000 the tech said about 60 users at a time.

Any advice would be great. Arizona offers a great line of site to possible customers because its all flat and all desert and DSL and Cable are expensive so I think there is a market for me out there.

I am looking into this antenna ( 2.4 GHz Horizontally Polarized Sectorized Omnidirectional Array ) and attaching one AP and 1 (1) watt amplifier to each panel.

Thanks to anyone who can point me to some quality AP's to consider and any advice that will help me out.

Thanks.

Dave
