We are looking to deploy wifi to support Tablet PCs. The software we are using is very sensitive to loosing its connection to the SQL database. I am worried particually about roaming. We need to use 802.1x for security and would like to use the MS IAS servier with EAP-TLS for authentication. We have 4 locations which should each be well covered by 3 base stations at each location. Medical providers need to be able to move around the office without losing connections. Time is more important than money. An hour of lost provider time (and when our app crashes it crashes hard) is worth avoiding with addition money. My questions are the following:
- Do we need LWAPP or will autonomous with WLSE work for us? (Specifically for fast secure roaming, or quick handoff, or whatever it is we need)
- Do we need to use EAP-FAST (and thus a Cisco AAA server) or will EAP-TLS with IAS be enough?
- If we use LWAPP do we need WCS or will managing each 2000 series WLAN controller be enough?
- Will all this work with my HP switches and Andtran routers?
