The yearly cost and the cost of replacing out of warranty units. They also didn’t put in enough units and mounted them to the outside of stucco/cylinder block buildings. The UniFi system will pay for itself over 2 years against the Meraki and be more profitable.

We have a installations with them, zero problems. But you do need a management computer. I have the XClaim radio too that I tested at my house. The only problem is no management tool outside your phone and you have to be onsite. They said they will have something in a few months for that. Xirrus is enterprise grade and probably as expensive as Meraki with all the bells and whistles. I’d stick to UniFi if it was me for financial reasons if you simply want to give away free internet.

Basic feature set… problem with reatail locations like restaurants is that you need control of the users… how much time they can browse, when the AP will be available (avoiding night leeches), login mechanisms, value added marketing for the host restaurant (like pop ups every x min with advertisement) Etc… Retail is a different animal… Meraki even offers visit statistics of how many passerbys( mac detected but not registered) , users (loged in) with how long they stayed, how recurrently the pass or visit ect!

Get the Ruckus RF engineering technology with the coffee shop type price. Installing one in our new office... will have my hands on it on Friday. Only need a single AP... and of course it will be lightly loaded (mostly for cell phones,etc... computers are hardwired typically). Got mine from JR at WAV - good price on those units too.
