I want to do Big Campus networking. Here are my requirements:
Floor: 10 Floor
Height: 144 ft
Width: 44 ft
Total: 6336 Sq ft
Motherrouter: CCR 2116
Every Floor will have 3 to 4 Access Points Cap will be mesh
User count: 10k+ (300 to 400 users per floor)
Building count: 2
Network connect system will be: Mikrotik Router to VSOL OLT to cAP Access Point
Suggest me the Best AP that can support 300 to 400 users every floor. Make sure it will have 3 access points
No need for wifi in the basement?
Or outside, in the courts or park?
Anyway as access point, in Mikrotik catalog you can currently choose between the Cap Ax:and the Cap Ax:

Maybe and maybe soon, there will be a new device that may be suitable, the Wap Ax.
In metric measure, the 6336 sqft, that I assume being the area of each floor, become 590 m2.
If the width is 44 ft, the length will be 6336/44=144 ft, in metric roughly 13x44 m.
590/3=196 m2/AP (and 130 users/AP)
590/4=147.5 m2/AP (and 100 users/AP)
It seems to me optimistic, both in area covered and in number of users for each AP.
It depends, especially as these requirements are far from complete.
And where does the maximum number of accesspoints come from?
Why are you assigned with this task?
What is the budget?
Choosing hardware is the least difficult part of this job.
