From a networking perspective I'm impressed.
Yeah, high density APs that can handle a lot of clients exist, in theory...but in practice you can't expect many devices to be simultaneously in-use. Having this many clients per square foot? SNR for those phones must be terrible. Amazing it works.
Don't know why you're getting down voted. It is indeed impressive that all those WiFi radios are working that close together. There's another wall of phones behind it, double! Probably more in the room too.
There's gotta be 100 phones on that first wall alone, plus double it, so 200. More in the room? Other rooms? Hundreds of phones, all screaming out WiFi, trying to connect.
From a networking perspective, impressive indeed. Those phones must hate life.
Edit: heck I bet most consumer grade routers DHCP servers would choke after the first 255 clients (probably much sooner) just from having to change subnets. I'm not a networkologist though so IDK for sure
As somewhat of a networkologist I can say that most home routers use the 192.168.something.x IP range. With a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, this means that you could put 253 devices on the network (2 of the IPs aren't usable for devices). After that, you would have to change your subnet mask to something larger, which is easily doable in router config. However, a home router likely wouldn't work well with even just 100 devices connected. WiFi is also half duplex, meaning it can only send or receive, but not both at the same time. This would make the speed unbearably slow. You would really need multiple access points to have this many devices.
Don't all phones do IPv6 nowadays?
