To future proof your deployment it may be best to upgrade your WLC to a 5520. I suggest deploying the x700 series LWAP to support 802.11ac as we have seen a large increase in clients supporting it. Here is a comparison chart for the various ac enabled LWAPs. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/buyers-guide.html#~indoorac
Cisco has nice bundling options so we have opted to use the 3702 after taking advantage of the bundling discounts. We use the 2702 in smaller office bundles as well, but large buildings with higher density we choose the latter. Hope this helps!

Not much in the way for options on that old platform, but that is what you can still buy. Might be time to look at upgrading that old girl.

We're a 135,000 student and 6,000 staff district (very large). I am doing a AP deploy for a new high school building (I have a Cisco WLC4402-100-K9 installed in the building already) with approximately 500 clients connected and wanted to know what Cisco LWAPs everyone was using or would recommend for this deploy. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
