WSLM vs WiSM

Does anyone know the difference between the Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM) and the Wireless Services Module (WiSM) for the 6500s? I think the WiSM is newer, so is it a replacement?

the capacity. However, I have also heard that the stability isn't there yet in the WiSM product.

OK Thanks for the info... trying to decide which to buy... Have a few dozen 1200's in a few buildings which we'd like to get centralized control of, but may be adding a "mesh" type outdoor senario for the City's downtown area for public safety use. Of course that project may end up based on its own 650x. :)

Main advantage of WLSM is ability to provide L2 roaming without spanning wireless VLANs all over the enterprise. It also creates a point where all wireless traffic can be intercepted.

Control (in a sense of configuration/software management) is done by separate device - WLSE (Wireless LAN Solution Engine).

With best regards, Andrey.
