If you would like pricing let me know.  They don't do any direct sales, so any pricing they could offer you would be purely theoretical.  But they give great pricing to their channel so we can offer some really great deals to churches.  They figure that if you are going to their website for information, it means that you don't know a reseller so they want to refer you to one.  I can save you that step.

I'm skeptical of companies that make you go through their lead acquisition process just to get pricing.  Might be a good product but I would not normally look at a company like this.

I guess you are too far along for this, but for anyone that is not, Ruckus wireless networks automatically manage access point radio channels and signal strength, and will adjust as needed to ensure coverage if some access points go offline.  It also allows meshing so if part of your wired network goes down the affected access points can pull network connectivity from other access points that still have connections.  It also has some pretty neat interference avoidance features.  They cost more than the Linksys-level Walmart access points, but they have significantly better coverage, and they cost significantly less than the other players in the enterprise wireless market.  If anyone wants info let me know.

I have been working on expanding my wifi system, but have reached a point that I need to get better data on AP range, RF and data on the wifi system to make sure I am getting it set up correctly.  What tools, devices or whatever is out there that other have used that work well?

Thanks,
