Hi all,

I=E2=80=99m looking to gather some public opinion, links and pointers =
around the current landscape of WISP hardware vendors.  I=E2=80=99m =
familiar with Cisco, Ruckus, AdTran, Motorola and Aruba (HP) but I=E2=80=99=
m wondering who else is out there that folks have used with success.  My =
main areas of interest are around controller based (hardware or virtual =
(in-house, not off-net cloud based)) systems that have a range of indoor =
& outdoor 802.11AC PoE capable APs.  The controller(s) would be capable =
of tunnelling traffic from the APs for one or more SSIDs, support =
per-SSID captive portals and unique, intra-SSID captive portals.  In a =
perfect world, an on-board DHCP server would be super handy too.  The =
system should support CAPWAP, but some proprietary alternative is also =
fine, the usual suite of security protocols per SSID, reliable =
intra-SSID AP roaming algorithms and multi-SSID capable.

Thanks in advance.=
