Hiya Jonathan,
Here at Huddersfield we have a campus wide WLAN, covers every single
building and 2 of our remote sites. We have 200 Cisco 1231 series, this
will grow to 250 shortly. These are managed with 4 WiSM controllers and
a WLC and our external sites have 2 4440 controllers. This is mostly
just for students use and the feedback is good. There has been a few
teething problems due to software issues but we have worked hard to
solve these.
The cost..i have no idea
I perfer Cisco, but I have worked with Cisco hardware for 10 years so I
might be biased.

Subject: Quick question
Hi everyone,
We at Bristol are doing a little research into what other universities
are doing with their wireless networks. Basically we are planning an
expansion and are evaluating whether to stick with Cisco or move to a
different supplier.
Could I have a quick show of hands of the following:
Which brand of hardware you use
The size of your installation - access points and users How much you
paid for it Any comments on:
Technical support / maintenance
Quality of management features
Thanks for your time :)
Jonathan
