Yet another +1 for Ruckus. The setup is simple (the Zonedirector has a great web interface) and the performance is staggeringly good.

2-part paper by Tom's Hardware if you're looking for some hard data that
puts WAPs up against each other (hint, Ruckus is the ultimate winner).

Used Ubiquity, Cisco with AP Managers and no one comes close to the Ruckus
Performance, best interference mitigation, signal path selection, Auto
RF management, extended range, adaptive signal steering, they just seem to
spank everyone else.
With the Help of the Zone Director, they are hands down my first choice.
Cheers!

Correct, the iPad never even knows it happens. As for pakedge rebadging,
they do... But they load their own software and firmware and configs no
work on your end. Name the said and wpa key. Done

Can I clarify something when using controllers?
Right now, I'm romaing around this big house between the access points. I
keep pressing a button and seeing the fb come into my CF project. At some
point, when I drop one WAP and hit another (same SSID, no controller), I
lose feedback for a couple of seconds but it seems to be reliably coming
back without causing the connection to really break between CF and the
processor. If I have a controller-managed WAPs, and good coverage, that
couple-second hiccup should be eliminated, correct? The controller sees
that one WAP has a better signal strength to the iPad than another and
seamlessly hands them off?
Thanks, Heath

The Pakedge Virtual Cell system appears to be a re-branded Meru system.
You may look into pricing a Meru system directly, and compare it to the
price of the Pakedge.
Side note: Not that I'm recommending it to anyone, but Ubiquiti is
claiming "seamless hand-off" capabilities in the next firmware release for
their WAPs, and it doesn't require a controller to manage them. Might be
something to keep an eye on, since it will be at a significantly lower
price-point than other managed wireless systems.

Pakedge wap-w5n with CTL-W5N controller. If price matters you can go
down to their macro cell version. Built with IOS in mind and works great.

Can someone recommend WAPs / controllers for a 4-WAP system,
specifically some that will hand off connections between WAPs without
hiccuping iPads? I'd like to work with something that I can set up myself
(I can only learn so much Cisco ios before I forget it). I've presented
Access and the client won't bite on their system.
Currently I have Netgear WNDAP 360 WAPs and while they seem to work
very well standing still, they don't hand off worth a crap.
Thanks, Heath
