Let's not jump to conclusions Dos-Box. Chomperhead and I are not trying to hide anything. We're both sitting here at an ASEE education conference in S.California...both a long way from home. We are friends...at least after meeting and agreeing that Xirrus has a great solution for how we're using Wi-Fi. Is there anything wrong with giving our honest and non-agressive opinions regarding what we've experienced with vendors?
I see a lot of Ruckus love here and no one seems to be accusing them of being sockpuppets for Ruckus or Ruckus marketing.
EduGeek, please don't ban Chomperhead or myself. We have not done anything contrary to the EduGeek agreement or the spirit of this forum.
We are just relating our honest experiences in an attempt to help the original question asked. I for one would love to see a fair bake-off. 90 802.11n 5GHz netbooks in three classrooms streaming video simultaneously. As part of the test, include the scalability costs associated with each offering (devices, cable runs, switch ports, time line, etc). For what it's worth -- this is what we did, and Xirrus came in on top - no fluff. Would be willing to help anyone replicate what we did.
Anyways, best and glad I can be apart of this forum.
