Ive used Xirrus for a few festivals and hack-a-thons and they worked great.
Ive also used UBNT UniFi with great success at numerous events, mainly at the old SF Mint (completely made out of Granite and concrete) and RF penetration was awesome.
Cisco is nothing to write home about and is over priced. Ive never used Ruckus but it looks to be expensive for what it does.
I'd stick with UBNT and Xirrus.
having been in the back seat for many deployments over the years with all sorts of kit, i have seen great and reliable pretty large deployments of all of the above (well, xirrus only once). i have seen embarrassing messes with all of the above. i have concluded that the critical component is the engineer. randy
