Remember the school that needed wireless?
Well, after talking it over with the powers that be, I decided to go ahead and do the job. They don't need uninterrupted wifi coverage. They aren't gonna be making wifi phone calls so wifi roaming in the halls isn't necessary. What is important to them is coverage in the classrooms and offices.
For that, I decided against installing a WLAN controller and instead installed a mesh wireless network. It took a total of 10 Aruba AP's. Not much to it. It's pretty much plug and play...for the most part. I did have to do a little configuring for the guest network and initial discovery.
A Quick Note: I'm a huge fan of Cisco's WLAN controller and Lightweight Access Points, but that would have been overkill here.
