Hardware suggestion for a non-permanent event for 200 very low BW but concurrent users in the same place

Hi,

I need a specific architecture for an event that we propose around video gaming.

The purpose is to make 200 concurrent players, in the same place, using their smartphones connected to through WIFI to a "local gaming server" to play a game running on a giant screen:

 My "homemade tests" on our prototype shows that the bandwidth by player does not exceed 8kB/s so the available bandwidth on the network should not be an issue.

What I'm afraid of is the stability of the connection for an user because of the "congestion" of the wifi frequencies, that is why I need a professional solution.

What is the access point model I need for an INDOOR event with 200 players ?

What is the access point model I need for an OUTDOOR event with 200 players ?

Finally, is a outdoor access point can be used indoor ?


Best regards.

Regards AP types, I would say you need to be looking at middle of the range. High end AP's aren't really going to help too much so R510 for indoor or T310 for outdoor. Stretch to R610 & T610 if you have the budget but i'd also recommend a ZD1205 as a central controller.
