We recently, within 2 years, went through a similar test. We included AeroHive and Xirrus in our list along with Meru, Cisco and Aruba. We ended up choosing Xirrus and we have been happy with the decision. If you would like more information let me know.

In order to migrate to 802.11n, we will have to replace all of the access points and look at replacing the controllers to accommodate the throughput. This has given us the opportunity to go back and assess other vendors that offer enterprise wireless solutions. The vendors that we are looking into are Meru, Aruba, and Cisco. I would like to get input from this group on some pros and cons of each, or are there other vendors that have been working well? Any input would be helpful.
