RE: Cisco lightweight AP's / Airespace

They IPSec to the controller.  It can be used as end-to-end encryption.

I am not certain what the redundancy features are for these controllers,
but I doubt there is any.  We operate WiFi as a supplemental "nice to
have" but since everyone has a 100Mbps port at their desk, there is no
need for 5 9's.

I am certain in other environments, this would not be the case.
