Hi Chad, Helpful observations. We’re looking at an upgrade without MM for our small Campus. 280 WAPs that will grow to ~400 using a high density design using 7220 & 7210. Still investigating the cost/benefit for MM or non-MM upgrade.
We’ll need more Q & A with HPE and our local vendor. Can’t make Atmosphere due to scheduling conflicts.
