Up to now we've had very sparse funding for wireless as it was always viewed as an add on service. A recent outage (caused by buggy 7.6.120 code) has shown just how important Wifi has become. Up to now APs have been largely installed on an ad-hoc basis with funding from departments or projects but this doesn't tend to account for EOL replacement. We're looking to apply for a formal replacement project based on either rolling yearly replacement budget or a big bang approach every few years. So, how do you guys handle this problem?
