Unless you  have a bunch of AP's at each site........ $$$ wise it
doesn't make sense to spend the dollars for controllers at each site
IMHO.

As Scott already posted, H-REAP is Cisco's distributed AP solution.  You
could deploy the smaller 4400's at each location or consider the 3750G
with
its wireless support.  If that doesn't work for you, you'll have to
consider
another vendor.

Aerohive, Colubris, Meru, and Trapeze all have such
distributed/edge-switching architectures.  See the last half of this

for more details.

Hello,

I'm interested in deploying a wireless lan in a school district.  There 
are 19 buildings connected via wireless bridges.  I need about 45 access

pointed in total and I was looking at the 4400 series of wireless lan 
controllers.  I was wondering if it is possible to have one controller 
centrally located and have remote access points in the buildings managed

by the controller.  The only catch is I don't want all of the traffic 
going back to the wireless lan controller, I would like the network 
traffic to go back to the main switch, because the users will be logging

in locally, and just the management traffic to go back to the
controller.

I have been getting different answers from many people including cisco 
pre-sales, so I was wondering if anyone had real work experience with 
this type of application?

Please let me know if I was not clear.
Thanks,
Dan.
