We deployed the airwave professional edition product this winter.
We're using it in concert with a bluesocket wireless gateway. I
don't have anything negative to say about the application. All the
statistics you could want this app polls from the access points and keeps
a history of them. My lucent ap's were rebooting all the time and
dropping their configs. I had no idea. This app keeps the
configs correct by forcing the default config, which I set up, out to the
points whenever it notices a discrepancy. With radius
packet accounting between the bluesocket and the amp app, I know exactly
what users are hanging off of which access points. I can see
utilization in number of connected users and bandwidth for each
point. It's all web based, so my anti-Microsoft guys can use the
application from the solaris boxes. We're running with
150 access points. The product has really given me a good look into
what the wireless lan is really doing.
