Recommended Solution to Cover Very Large Outdoor Area

Hello. I am looking for guidance on a Wi-Fi purchase to support a Magic Leap Augmented Reality presentation with an extremely large outdoor area.  I currently use a Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router (MR1100) just fine with 4 Magic Leap 2 devices and Sphere from an on-premises laptop presenting medium to large buildings in AR.  The internet is not involved in this equation for security.  So, the data is sent from the secure laptop to the MR1100 router, and then to the Magic Leap 2 devices.  The largest building I presented outdoors with only one MR1100 placed in the middle is ~16,000 sq. ft., and this worked just fine.  However, I fear the size of the next project/building, which is ~191,000 sq. ft. (not to mention the site around it), will need Wi-Fi extenders, access points, mesh system, or other.  In addition, we should be adding 3-6 Magic Leap 2 devices to this presentation.  Can anyone recommend a solution/purchase for this coverage area and scenario?  The power for these devices can be AC wired.  However, battery operated is recommended if available.  Our AR presentations typically range from 1-2 hours due to the battery life of the Magic Leap 2 devices.

Suppose your business relies on it to ensure the presentation goes smoothly and without issues. In that case, it might be time to contact Netgear business for collaboration rather than using the member support forums. 

I'm not sure if/what mod would be best for this. Any ideas @DarrenM @ChristineT

@plemans I agree with you and thanks for copying others.  I did email support@netgear.com for a recommended purchase.  I felt the need to expand my search from experienced guru's like yourself though. I just emailed NETGEAR Business Solutions too.

When it comes to large installations, a proper design is going to be key. I wouldn't mix consumer/business gear because that can cause its own issue. And that is a significant area to cover if you're planning on covering it all. Plus if there's other signals present. Lots of variables. I've setup a few mesh systems for covering large areas but no where near that size
