600 users....how much ruckus do i need?

[oak_ridge_hotel]

So we are a hotel and conference center. we purchased 2 r500 unleashed, which we are running standalone. One of the devices is in a ballroom approx 45ft by 15 ft. We have a conference comping up that will have 200 attendees. Each attendee will be using 3 wireless devices, and they want to be always connected. for a total of 600 devices. what do I need to add to be able to grant this request?

Hello, i have a question on your answers above. Why R500 can handle only 50 users per band? Product guide says 512 concurrent users. Where is the catch? This question is just for interest

catch is that its "upto" 512 per AP is when you use open SSID (no security, no encryption).. AP capacity to handle no of users varies on whats user's are transmitting and how much... thats why:
they also publish it can handle max SIMULTANEOUS VoIP CLIENTS  to be Up to 30..
there is a difference between user just associated and not passing traffic b/w user associated and passing traffic...
