I dont reccomend them. the HP procurves are comptitively priced, intuituve in their design and implementation, however they dont quite have the feature set that I am looking for , e.g. aruba switched wireless or xirrus We are starting to look at the xirrus as a means to deploy in environs were we dont want to pay to (re) cable.. Has anyone used their solutions?

I am now being asked to evaluate other WiFi manufacturers. In the past I've looked at 3com, Lucent, and Symbol. However, that's been over 7 years ago at this point. So I'm wanting any feedback for other types of WiFi other Universities are currently utilizing, pros and cons, and even ones in the past you may have used. I started looking at Colubris, Xirrus, and Symbol as those are the ones specifically I was asked to look at. However, I'm just wanting to see what other options there may be, besides Cisco. -- Scott Smith Network Engineering Services Southern Illinois University Carbondale [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
