Re: Virgin Media to supply Tube Wi-Fi
Pretty easy tbh. Each connected device takes up a fraction of a kilobyte of RAM, and even cheap APs come with several megs - the Superhub has 64MB for example, plenty for a hundred thousand clients.

The bigger issue would be the firmware being designed to handle it properly, and we all know how good the Superhub firmware is at challenging conditions...

In all likelyhood they'll probably use some industry standard managed LWAPs from the likes of Cisco, Aruba, or my personal favourite, Ruckus.. Anything less would be simply idiotic.
