What equipment does MikroTik recommend to cover a university campus with a density of 150 users per AP?

The RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN  They are very robust devices to support a large number of wireless connections and also to be used as an administrator, however it will also depend on the structure that is being used in order to carry out a correct network design that allows you to use the advantages of the product, this will depend for example of a good structure to manage coverage correctly as well as channels to avoid creating noise, power, location of equipment, among others.

MikroTik offers several models that could be suitable for this scenario, especially those designed for high traffic and wide coverage. Here I recommend some specific MikroTik models that would be ideal for this task:

1. MikroTik Audience

  • Description: The MikroTik Audience is a tri-band mesh access point that can be used to create a wide, seamless coverage network across the entire campus. Its ability to form a mesh network with other Audience devices makes it ideal for a multi-building campus.
  • Capacity: Supports multiple bands simultaneously, improving the ability to handle large numbers of connected users.
  • Recommended use: Ideal for providing continuous coverage over large areas and across multiple floors or buildings.

2. MikroTik cap ac

  • Description: This is a compact yet powerful ceiling access point that supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and offers advanced software features with RouterOS. The cAP ac is suitable for ceiling mounting, allowing for effective signal distribution in large areas such as classrooms and hallways.
  • Capacity: Suitable for high-density environments, providing stable performance with dual-band technology.
  • Recommended use: Perfect for classrooms, libraries and other common areas within buildings.

3. MikroTik BaseBox 5

  • Description: The BaseBox 5 is an outdoor access point operating in the 5 GHz band with an integrated antenna. It can be used to connect distant buildings within the campus or to provide access in open areas.
  • Capacity: Robust for outdoor use, ideal for connecting outdoor areas such as sports spaces and recreation areas.
  • Recommended use: Good for extending WiFi coverage outside or between buildings that are not physically connected.

General Considerations for Implementation

  • Network Planning: It is essential to carry out adequate planning and coverage analysis (site survey) to determine the optimal points for the placement of APs and guarantee that the entire campus area is effectively covered.
  • Traffic Management and Safety- Uses RouterOS capabilities to manage traffic, prioritize certain types of traffic, implement network security, and control user access.
  • Scale and Redundancy: Ensure that the network infrastructure can scale as needed and provide redundancy to keep the network operational in the event of failures.

These devices not only provide the necessary coverage, but also include advanced network management capabilities that can be essential in an educational environment where network traffic can be varied and extensive.
