Hi Marcelo, My personal opinion is there is no better system than the Aruba Wireless. With their adaptive radio management, you only need to plan for density and then place X/users per AP, APs in that area. We just began using their wireless mesh and are running wireless VOIP traffic across it through the VOIP aware stateful internal firewall. The last feature I find compelling is their remote access point, for distance learning. A remote access point is an AP that you can plug into the internet anywhere and it will create an IPSEC AES/256bit tunnel back to the master controller, firewalls permitting of course, it will then publish the SSID(s) that you use on your campus with the exact same firewall permissions, user roles and network access as you have on campus.
That's enough: I am not an Aruba salesman and the opinions expressed here are not the formal opinion or policies of Plymouth State University. This is just the opinion of one very satisfied wireless administrator.
