We are doing #1. Most of our buildings are far enough apart that you
can't roam, so that's not an issue. Authentications run through the same
radius server with policies for each vendor. I see the merit of option 3
though.

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.
Thanks,
Jason
