As 11n is still relatively new in the client space as well I would
add...
how much interoperability testing has been conducted with popular
client cards? If your users (students) have standardized on a specific
laptop/wireless card I would also check if the wireless vendor has any
open caveats with those client cards.
Hope this helps...

Does the proposed solution interoperate with your existing NAC

QoS for VoIP & streaming video.

Subject: wish list for next generation vendor selection
Hi,
We're starting to look at the different vendors to move forward
into the 11n business. We have a standard list (working towards an
RFP) of needs/it'd-be-nice/wants dealing with WIFI compliancy, POE,
authentication, management etc. etc. but I was wondering if anyone
who has gone through this might be able to offer other not-so-
obvious things to look for. Ideally, if someone had a list of what
they looked for and wish to share....that would be excellent.
..........thanks in advance................J
