Maybe two dozen more depending on what we end up doing int he expo hall. The 2500 figure is client radios. All the APs will output between 1 and 100 mW so your brain and future ability to father children are both safe. Also, you have to eat your pop tarts cold because microwave ovens are banned at the event (it is even in the terms and conditions for the exhibitors :) ... 2.4 GHz is an ideal frequency to be absorbed by water, hence microwaves belt it out to cook chickens and also why a dense crowd of people will completely squash 2.4 GHz wifi).

I think it will be very useful for many people to see how an event of this scale gets through some of the wireless infrastructure issues. I really look forward to seeing how this evolves.
