Let's say you want to enable your clients to connect to a corporate network with their wireless laptop and their smartphones to a mobile network as well as allow guests to connect to a guest network. You would place your 5520 in a DMZ, hosting the guest and mobile SSID and have your local switches act as a mobility controller hosting the Corporate SSID. You enable new mobility and create a mobility connection between the 5520 and for instance a 3x50, a so called foreign-anchor connection. For this to work you have to enable new mobility on your 5520.

Hope this helps.

New mobility is required if you have a mixed deployment of WLC's and Convereged Access. This is required or else if not mixed, then the default in the 5508 is required. As far as broadcast or not, best to just broadcast the SSID as it helps with client stability and hiding doesn't really protect you. If you want to limit throughput on an SSID lever, then use QoS and or bandwidth limitations.  Better to just mark your QoS and ensure that proper traffic or important traffic gets priority.
