A high-density office \xE2\x80\x94 lots of people packed into one space, all online at once \xE2\x80\x94 stresses connectivity in two places: the circuit into the building and the Wi-Fi distributing it. Both need to be sized for the crowd.
Size the Circuit for Peak Concurrency
Don't size for headcount \xE2\x80\x94 size for everyone online at peak, doing real work (video calls, cloud apps, big files). See sizing bandwidth. Upload matters as much as download for all that video and cloud sync \xE2\x80\x94 favor symmetrical fiber.
The Wi-Fi Is Usually the Bottleneck
In dense spaces, one or two access points get overwhelmed. You need enough APs, placed and tuned for high client counts, with modern Wi-Fi standards and proper channel planning. A great circuit feeding weak Wi-Fi still feels slow \xE2\x80\x94 see Wi-Fi vs. wired.
Rule of thumb: high-density areas need more access points than square footage alone suggests \xE2\x80\x94 plan by simultaneous devices, not just floor area, and wire the meeting rooms and heavy desks.
Don't Forget Reliability
The more people depend on one connection, the more an outage costs \xE2\x80\x94 so a backup circuit with failover is worth considering. See the cost of downtime.
