That matches my observation with trying to setup wireless networks at
various situations. Though, these days, you can buy single unit systems
with multiple radios and thus increasing effective user connections.
example is Xirrus. http://xirrus.com/. We call them the UFOs. Helps
tremendously when you need to setup for high density users.

I concur with Sunday as well as the link that Patrik sent. Things
presented by Joel Ja in 2003 are still relevant. though these days, you
also need to factor in the 'n capabilities' with new deployments.

thanks
