Sorry to respond so late, but one company I was looking at was
BlueSocket (www.bluesocket.com). They offer wireless gateways, and I
think some of their smaller gateways are affordable for medium-sized
businesses. They offer that desireable separation from the internal
network, and have very flexible authentication. This includes VPN
clients as well as a web-based authentication scheme for portable
devices that don't have VPN clients available. I saw a this product
in action at a WiFi security seminar here in Kansas City a few months
back, and it was pretty much the only product that impressed me.
