Wifi - for Enterprise

hi guys,

We currently have a building with 3 floors and around 300 people inside of it. We have Wi-Fi at the moment in the building and using Cisco 1100 wireless access points. The actual coverage we have is rather average.

We would like to actually implement a better wireless system which enables you to log on and manage the rest of the wireless access points and is intelligent enough to tell us when it's not 'working' or when it is having issues to prevent users from having to tell us 'the wireless is not working' and us having to reboot it. Ideally something which can indicate when it is having problems accessing the internet and for us to know through some sort of messaging we need to react.

Is there anything like that out there at all?

Thanks
Yashy

Well you could just buy a Cisco WLC, new Aironet APs and Prime Infrastructure.  That would give you complete centralized management of the APs and provide powerful reporting and alerting features.

The 1100 APs you have now are EoL and (depending on which version) probably not even supported any more.  They definitely won't be supported by new WLC code.  You could look at using the 1702 APs with the WLC.
