To my understanding, the HP stuff is in limbo, since they just purchased a new company for their wireless stuff. They have discontinued the ProCurve wireless blades, at least for the 53xx and 54xx switches. Not sure where there solution is heading.
Just my very limited knowledge, though. ________________________________ From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Richardson,Tony Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 9:06 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] Wireless If the controller fails will the AP keep functioning? ________________________________ From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Mitch Mueller Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 9:05 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] Wireless Have you looked at a H.P. controller system.

I am looking for a district wireless solution that just works and does not require a lot of administrative time to administer. Don't really want to attend school on regular bases to set it up and maintain it. Have looked at Xirrus and Aruba and unless you have plenty of time on your hands and just love complexity steer clear of Aruba. Xirrus is cool but their prices indicate that they know that. Any other ideas? Thanks, Tony Richardson, Network Administrator / Director of Technology Humboldt Community School District trichard...@humboldt.k12.ia.us
