Overview
This article documents the current wireless infrastructure. A complete overhaul of the wireless was conducted in July 2017; the old article is now located here.
Configuration
Wireless APs
- The model of AP is the Extreme Networks AP7532.
- 6 units total - 4 of the external antenna variant, 2 with internal antennas

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.
