We have an AMX system in place and faced the same initial demand of a separate wireless network. I too was overruled, until the contractor couldn't make the system work as advertised. As a condition for "helping" resolve the crisis I was given the opportunity to re-configure the system to use our enterprise wireless. The wireless component was not the issue, of course, but I'll take any opportunity to avoid the "one off" solutions. I did MAC-Authenticate the AMX.

I yelled and screamed, but was overridden. Fortunately, it is no longer used and was scrapped. I have no idea if AMX still uses or supplies that solution.
