Hello Experts,
We have a client who is managing a community of villas and Apartments ( around 300 villas and 500 apartments) and its a big site including Outdoor areas.
They have asked our suggestions to design WiFi and one of them seems very strange requirement ; they want to have dedicated SSID for Each villa and Each Apartment so lets say we are talking about 800 SSID's.
Their Main concern is if we have single SSID broadcasted then Lets say villa 1 user could have a wifi connection from villa 2 and user can also play any contents on Villa 2 TV which is also having WiFi.
As per my experience , we can have RF profile to do this job and to limit the AP power levels so that its not been heard on any other villa and that's how we can broadcast single SSID and with RF profile we can make sure to limit/minimize the signal bleeding into other villas. This will be simpler rather than creating 800 SSID's and then make AP groups to add each villa access point in group and broadcast dedicated SSID in villa. But knowing the fact that with Single SSID Broadcasted for all villas , its client decision where to connect so to this point , i think client's concern is somehow true.
But do you have some better suggestion to propose or this is the only way to proceed. And what will be your approach if you are facing this question.
Also they want to have control on Wifi , like if they want to change the password , they should have flexibility of changing it. They dont want to call Support Department and tell them to change. So Please guide me also how this can be achieved as i am scratching my head on this requirement also
As a platform , We are going to suggest them Cisco 9800 wlan controller with 9115i and 9130 access points.
Please Share your views/Suggestions and experience for this kind of scenario.
