Explosive spread of wireless local area network (WLAN) access points in a global range makes this class of wireless system to be one of the best alternative ways to access internet. This paper investigates how many WLAN access points (APs) are distributed in real world and estimates system capacity if they are operated as a single system. The results indicate that the WLAN has a potential to achieve significant high system capacity compared to the existing cellular systems.
