Hi,

We chose the 3Com, now H3C wx3012 controller and AP9552 accesspoints.

Initial issues where that blackberries could not connect to the wifi, the support initially was mediocre.

Do note that this was at the time that everything got sold to HP. And they did pick up the issue and came around with a 
fix in about a month time.

It's been working swell since then, I mean, the spelling errors in the UI I can live with. It's been stable so far. It 
was also by far the most reasonably priced. That counts for something.

Vlans, radius, captive portal etc, worked for me. Ui is good enough to use and diagnose clients. Wireless coverage, is 
... well, it's wireless.

Reliable wireless isn't. Unless it's 5Ghz, and stopped by 1 floor or wall. I digress.

Regards,

Seth

Cisco's wireless solutions are pretty badass.  The APs I've used are

done, maintenance is minimal.

Ubiquity (www.ubnt.com) has their Unifi line of products. It's still
pretty new in the marketspace and this, working out the bugs. I use
their other products exclusively for outdoor wireless.

However, in the offices ive done, ive used Cisco's WLC 4402 controller
which supports 12 access points. They have controllers which support
more APs as well.

Hit me up offlist if you have any quesrions.

I need to choose a wireless solution for a new office.

up to 600 devices will connect.  most devices are mac books and mobile
phones.

we can see hundreds of access points in close proximity to our new
office space.

what are the thoughts these days on the best enterprise solution/vendor?

Thanks for your replies.
