Hi all,=20
I=E2=80=99m looking to gather some public opinion, links and pointers aroun=
d the current landscape of WISP hardware vendors. I=E2=80=99m familiar with=
Cisco, Ruckus, AdTran, Motorola and Aruba (HP) but I=E2=80=99m wondering w=
ho else is out there that folks have used with success. My main areas of in=
terest are around controller based (hardware or virtual (in-house, not off-=
net cloud based)) systems that have a range of indoor & outdoor 802.11AC Po=
E capable APs. The controller(s) would be capable of tunnelling traffic fro=
m the APs for one or more SSIDs, support per-SSID captive portals and uniqu=
e, 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 propri=
etary alternative is also fine, the usual suite of security protocols per S=
SID, reliable intra-SSID AP roaming algorithms and multi-SSID capable.=20
Thanks in advance.=20
