Multi vendor interoperability on Campus

[Becker, Jason]

What are others doing to get interoperability when you have multiple wireless vendors on campus?  We are transitioning to a new system and trying to think of all the issues we may run into during this. A little background about our layout… a building will have all the same vendor AP's but adjacent building may not, over 100 buildings on campus,  total of 4000+ across campus, systems will have different ip pool space, and limited outdoor coverage.    Ideas  1. Same ssid across both systems and let the clients choose what system.  2. Same  ssid and adjust the probe/reponse thresholds so clients outside of a building don't connect. 3. Have versions of ssids for each system so clients can choose what ssid to connect to.
