Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Who WiFi vendors does everyone use? REVISITED


Can we revisit this subject? It seems to have gotten a good number of responses 
but the information is of limited use without other information to go with it.

If folks will send me information on their wireless networks I will tabulate it 
and send it back out to the list.

How about the following info:

School name
Rice University

Total number of clients served (faculty + staff + students + guess at guests) 
during a typical school day
over 10,000 distinct clients per day

Cisco - various, from 1252, 1142, 3502 and 3702, total about 1850 APs

Controller based - currently 2 WiSM-2 HA pairs, with AP/Client SSO in 6503's 
with Sup-720-3C's.
(Note, we run an MPLS-L3 VPN based network so we have to have an MPLS PE in 
front of the controllers, whether they are external or WiSM's).
