Foundry OEMs from Meru, which also uses a single-channel approach.  It does
not have an L1 requirement.

I understand Foundry's wireless products do the same thing.  Seems to
work ok but have not heard about larger test cases than a hundred or so
clients.

In the context of that, you may wish to peruse the proceedings of the
last few CCC Congresses in Berlin, which had pretty much working
wireless - even with thousands of attendees:

(They're still looking for a sponsor of wireless equipment for this
