I have 1400 Meru access points and 7 controllers. There is one person dedicated
to supporting this, but he also receives support from the other network
engineers assigned to the buildings for design, install and troubleshooting (5
others). I honestly could use two for the backend support.

We have one tech person to support 2,600 Cisco LWAPPs with 13 WiSM controllers
from a design/engineering standpoint. No way to tell from a HelpDesk standpoint
since everyone there fields wireless questions.

I take care of ~300APs along with VoIP, LAN, WAN, Security, and Servers/VM
environment. Wireless takes the least amount of my time except when it comes
time to replace it all.
Thanks,

We have 450 APs increasing to 550 this year, 700 the year after. We do not
have anyone dedicated to wireless nor do we have a formula.

Hi guys,
Just as an inquiry I would like to know what kind of
We have a wireless team that consists of dedicated and partial members. The
members that are partial range from a few hours to 3/4 of their time working
on wireless depending on what is needed.
4000+ APs / 30 Controllers 100+ buildings
Dedicated:
(2) Wireless Engineers - RF designs active /
I'm just curious
Of all the people that have commented, Are you pleased with the ratio of
tech staff to wireless devices installed on your campus?
Are you implying that you don't need staff to support the amount of
wireless you've installed on campus?
Did you install wireless technology
I also forgot to mention we have a field installation staff that does all the
installs for networking equipment wiring including wireless access points.
We always feel like we are behind a little bit in what we would like to
accomplish especially testing and next generation stuff. Additional
We have 200+ buildings, and some 3000 APs. We have four network engineers and
two operations technicians. Two of the four engineers have a bit more
familiarity with wireless, but nobody that’s mainly a wireless engineer.
Operations handles installing APs for small projects, replacing broken
Sorry, I should have been clearer - we have one network engineer who spends
about 30% of his time on wireless stuff.

Quick question...
Can you have a pool of vlans for an Aruba role? or is pooling restricted to
the
default connection vlan list to the VAP?

Quick answer - No. Not with the current versions of code available.
This is a feature I've been asking for from Aruba for over 3 years - along with
things like named VLANs and named VLAN pools. Assigning VLANs/Named VLANs by
role or RADIUS attribute works well in the code available today. It
I would summarize our deployment as follows:
Network: 750 APs , 4 controllers, 6000 concurrent users during a busy day.
Staff:
- 1 wireless expert (me!) that spends about 75% of the time on wireless related
tasks. I do the systems design, architecture, and evaluate new equipment. I

Hmm... Does the esoteric Windows required criteria
(extendedKeyUsage=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 or somewhere thereabouts) :)
also work to allow macosx to not require network validation though even
for just win7+ I should see if its possible to get such a cert via
incommon...

I think this varies also with the type of access point deployed.
Westmont's information:
275 Meraki WAPs
2000 users
0.3 staff (more or less)
Helpdesk has 3 people, probably 0.3 FTE on wireless problems. We anticipate
that being reduced with recent deployment of XpressConnect Cloudpath.
