In other words the leaders are at church to stream, nobody else is, everybody else has service to use online bible resources of their choosing and likely can check their emails accounts as well. The key here is the leaders have full access to the internet, all others are metered so they can't stream any videos (for example).

Ubiqiti gives full radiation pattern data.īefore the Mini Pro our goal was to be able to stream high quality internet content to up to 8 bible study classes while also providing members guest access for online bible services. We want all the energy down and a bit out to the sides. The other units have even patterns which includes up so as to service upper floors in a building, which is not what we were trying to do. Ubiquiti offers some other "thunderous" access points, but the radiation pattern of that one is ideal for worship center ceiling mount as its pattern is done. Maybe this does not apply to you, but hopefully others will find it useful.

The is especially true in a church with a guest wifi network (Up to 200 people in a service for us, some with multiple devices) being shared with critical infrastructure.

It does not matter what the ISP connection is when wifi breaks.įrom what my church went through, and discussions I had with a number of professional networking folks, video over wifi is an art not a science. Then you throw in the unknown of people watching videos, and a couple hundred concurrent connections, during service with children playing gaming apps on their phones, wifi degrades fast and unpredictably. Wifi is not designed for video, recent updates have tried to fix this but it is still problematic. This sounds like what we have gone through.

I'm going to make some assumptions here, and some will likely disagree with some of my comments.
