Other Notes

Acquisition of Zebra

The WiNG platform was originally by Motorola (their mobile enterprise division), which was acquired by Zebra. Zebra evolved the platform for several years, then their WLAN portfolio was acquired by Extreme Networks. From discussions with Extreme Networks reps, it seems they plan to continue with the WiNG platform despite having their own wireless platform - ExtremeWireless. They did hint at integration of the two at some point, perhaps from a management standpoint (i.e. converging the software to be able to manage both types of APs).

WiNG vs WiNG Express

WiNG Express is a scaled down version of WiNG. The 7532 APs actually use WiNG Express as a default. Upon inspection, WiNG Express appeared too simplistic. A CLI command exists to switch to WiNG from the default WiNG Express.
