I heard from my Cisco guy that Cisco purchased them for the cloud based controller for WAP's and have no plans to keep the Meraki brand going for long. Kind of like the Flip Cam deal, quietly disappeared.

No direct experience but they are taking the edu market by storm. I would assume because of cost. I see and hear of school districts all around us using them and they are all very happy. We were already a cisco shop. Yes, bought late last year by Cisco. I would probably be resistant to going with another brand in your situation. I am not a fan of mixing brands on that big of a scale. Are the buildings interconnected so you can use the existing control structure? If so that is a point in favor of cisco branded.

It's part of Cisco, not sure if it is a recent acquisition though. One of our consultants who the IT Director here listens to recommended it. We already have "regular" Cisco wireless here at HQ and at one of our plants. The other plant is scheduled for wireless this year. http://www.meraki.com/ Cloud managed wireless. There's that overused word again. Comments or thoughts welcome.
