Project Narrative

Many of our WAPs throughout the district are antiquated and need to be updated to something current. We are currently a Ruckus wireless environment. If a controller is quoted, it will need to be able to support the Ruckus WAPs that are still current that will not need to be replaced. Also, include any licensing costs associated with the operations of being able to use it. If providing a quote for wireless controller, please provide quote for configuring them to have the same/similar settings as our current Ruckus ZoneDirector controllers, as we have two configured. The district is open to refurbished equipment only if manufacturer warranty or equivalent is included.
