Hello Jeff, On our central campus, we've installed two WiSM2s several months ago with no issues or problems. One of the WiSM2s is almost fully loaded with 500 WAPs while the other in a separate chassis is empty to be used for failover of a single module.
We are running 12.2(33)SXJ on two 6500s and 7.0.230.0 on the WiSM/WiSM2s (we have a mix of both modules in each chassis). We have architected the wireless infrastructure using a 6500 chassis in two separate locations and tied both chassis together with a port channel, trunking the vlans of the WLANs configured with GLBP on the L3 interfaces. The fibers between the two locations are run in diverse paths. On our medical campus, we've configured the wireless to support that campus in the same manner. In total, for both campuses, we have 31 controllers (4404s, WiSM and WiSM2s), ~3500 WAPs and growing (mix of anything from 1220s to 3502s) and an average of 16K clients all managed with the NCS (1.1.0.58). We are mainly broadcasting three SSIDs (802.1x, open that requires vpn connection and guest that is tunneled beyond our campus edge) in dorms, common areas and classrooms. Overall, very satisfied with the Cisco wireless gear. Only caveat is that you need to be running the proper code on all devices. We have found that our biggest issue is with wireless clients acting badly which is out of our control.
