Autonomous Deployments
A lot of WLAN deployments still use autonomous/standalone access points (AP) or bridges. In fact, the Internet of Things is keeping the workgroup bridge (WGB) very busy in different types of environments. So yes, wireless CCIEs still need to deal with scenarios using autonomous WLAN devices. Because WGBs are specialized devices, CCIEs are usually expected to know “at least something” and have enough expertise to deal with some devices/topologies that many other WLAN engineers have never worked with.
