802.1x Success Stories ?

I am recommending 802.1x to a customer who wishes to deploy a secure
Wi-Fi network, and I'd like to include in my presention a few names of
companies, universities or public organizations who are currently
using 802.1x.

Thanks.

Heres a few.
Toyota, US Navy, Best Western Hotels, Boeing, Microsoft, National
Security Agency,
Edinburg Universtiy, Harvard University and so on.

If it is medium to large size business that will have many wireless
users then
using 802.1x with a radius server is the way to go. 802.1x is actually
used
with wpa-psk using EAPOL but using a users passphrase as an
authentication
method and used in creating the initial encryption keys.

I think the question is rather to use 802.11i (WPA2 Enterprise) or WPA
Enterprise,
the main difference being in the encryption, data integrity and key
generation methods.
TKIP and MIC or AES and CCMP etc.
