+1 for aruba
From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 12 June 2009 19:03 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Managing wireless access for guests You need a wireless system that supports a captive portal for guests. We use Aruba networks for our wireless and it supports that feature. Works great for customers and we haven't had a minute of wireless downtime in 1.5 years. From: Malcolm Reitz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 10:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Managing wireless access for guests I've been asked to provision some of our offices with wireless Internet access for guests such as clients and vendors. Since these offices are often in shared buildings, I need to provide some kind of authentication and access management so we're not providing free WiFi for the whole building or block. I was thinking of a hotel-type system, where the users must authenticate to a logon page before being allowed out to the Internet. One wrinkle in that might be that we want to support VPN traffic, not just HTTP/S. We use Cicso APs. Any thoughts or experiences in this area that anyone could share? I'd prefer a system with a central management point, as this solution will be deployed at a number of sites worldwide.
