We are currently testing the Bluesocket devices and are having success so far. We have many separate WLANs deployed on campus where we are looking to implement this technology, varying in sizes and usage. We are investigating different design options for campus WLAN deployment, especially for some of the smaller WLANs we have deployed. It does not seem be cost effective to deploy a separate authentication gateway for each (especially when we are talking about 1-2 APs in a location). On a side note, we are using separate IP subnets for each WLAN. Is anyone using vlans to go back to one authentication gateway for this purpose? Any major issues? I should probably add that we are only using these Bluesocket devices for authentication (we are not using them as DHCP servers or differentiating between class of service, and all valid users have the same role or authorization).
