Steve Jobs' demo fail (CNET News)

he exploded in the inside, pretty sure. later that evening someone lost their job backstage

[@Simple_Jackass]

You're probably right, but that poor soul couldn't be responsible for the same oversight Jobs had! Not foreseeing that over 500 connected devices to one wifi network might be a problem!

[@sireuchre]

@@Simple_Jackass It wasn't over 500 devices connected to one network, it was over 500 'base stations', as in hotspots or access points, showing up. People were providing their own wifi connectivity via mobile hotspots and such, and it was creating wifi congestion on the band. At that time, basically everything was running on the 2.4ghz band, and there's only 14 channels in that band, and they overlap. Radio transceivers (which wifi is a radio device) can only handle so much crosstalk at a time, so the effective throughput drops to nil. In the new Apple owned auditorium for their press events, I'm going to bet they provide an extremely robust wifi service, which would help avoid this issue. At the time of the event shown here, they had to rely on someone else's infrastructure.

[@Simple_Jackass]

SirEuchre - the implication in the video was that everyone in the room, on their various devices, contributed to the problem, just went off what the man said... whatevs...

Even when the product isn't working, Apple somehow still makes it look good.

[@justalaugher]

No, that won't work. I am pretty confident that the demo phone were using some designated wifi router while the audience were using guests wifi. But the thing is the bandwidth in that space is shared. There is simply no way that 2.4G wifi could handle that large number of devices no matter how many routers you use. Situation would have been better if there were 5G wifi.

You have to understand that the 802.11 wifi spec only has a limited number of frequencies available. If there are ~500 different networks all looking for different wifi channels, you'll run out of unique frequencies pretty quickly. When this happens, devices have to sort through multiple networks on the same frequency and interlace data, in effect slowing any networks on that specific frequency. It would sort of behave similar to a DDoS attack. No mobile device would handle it well.
