From the NY tech meetup list. Any one here care to comment, off or on list? j ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dean Collins Anyone know more about Barclay Wifi - http://www.fastcompany.com/3007452/innovation-agents/brooklyn-nets-barclays-center-slam-cam-puts-every-dunk-your-face **** ** ** Can they really stream hidef video to 19,000 devices simultaneously in hd via wifi? Surely they are hitting some spatial limits…..? (eg I know when my old company sold a DECT platform to the ASX we ran into bandwidth limits for the number of base stations in a single room)****
Also hinted at here http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/02/super-bowl-plans-to-handle-30000-wi-fi-users-at-once-and-sniff-out-rogue-devices/ (and also at Arstechnica where I think the guy said he had a multi-million dollar budget to get it working )
Basically, looks like a lot of expensive kit from the green giant PLUS a great deal of attention during installation PLUS lots and lots of sysadmin time to make it work !
I also seem to recall some interesting eeewwToob demos from xirrus who also specialise in high density kit.
