How to raise the overall WIFI to a greater distance and to thousands of customers?

Question

WiFi

What pieces of iron are needed to cover WIFI, for example, a park?

Answer 1

Mesh network (difficult to pull copper/optics to every point in the park). Better than serious vendors - Cisco , Aruba .

Answer 2

you can try to cover (=

Answer 3

Ruckus ZoneFlex Outdoor + Controller, Zone Director. The budgetary requirement was not mentioned, was it?

Answer 4

+1 for Unifi.
option number 2 - Mikrotik:

Answer 5

in terms of density, consider that there are 30 subscribers per access point, if you need more, then you need to make sectors, reduce the range of the point.

Answer 6

Not a bad article about organizing Wi-Fi from JetBrains habrahabr.ru/company/JetBrains/blog/193830/ . Not very detailed, but would be a good starting point.

Answer 7

Tried in practice 2 vendors who have outdoor WiFi solutions.
Wavion and Cisco.
Cisco: The access point is made very high quality:
The metal case is powder coated.
All slots and joints are sealed with rubber gaskets.
All fasteners are made with 13mm bolts.
Contains a battery on board for autonomous operation.
Cisco's wireless controller will be able to make one SSID over a large area and roam devices between access points. Access points can hold back-haul at a frequency of 5GHz
Wavion:
Plastic housing
Screws for a PH2 screwdriver
The slots are sealed with a rubber gasket, but over time, in the sun, the temperature causes the plastic to slightly deform and the fit deteriorates.
There are no batteries on board.
The Wavion manufacturer does not have its own controller by analogy with Cisco. We used Mikrotik to organize HotSpot.

Answer 8

Any decent enterprise-class system will do.
Which one is more a matter of taste and availability.
I mean
Cisco
Ruckus
Motorola.
Access points for outdoor use, controllers. Everything as usual.
Well, it’s good to do a radio survey, build a signal propagation model.
The other day I had the pleasure of touching a small system on Ruckus. A very user friendly solution. The version more familiar to me from Cisco is more condo, so to speak.
But functionally it's pretty similar.

Answer 9

1) You need to do frequency planning before thinking about equipment.
2) Most likely it will be MESH, at least the most logical solution.
3) From the first two points it follows that you need at least three non-overlapping frequencies for the normal operation of the network (Cellular network).
4) It follows logically that there should be three radio modules at all points.
5) The question arises about powering wireless stations. If not possible, the only option left is with a solar battery. But then the station must support a wide range of input voltages. Or use a battery and a good controller with power stabilization.
6) You will need sector antennas. This pleasure is not cheap.
I hope I helped at least a little)
