Hi,
We're using the 702W and have over 1500 deployed - we don't need 802.11ac in
each room, given the speeds on 40Mhz 5GHz n channels are still sufficient for
their needs plus they get three gigabit ports (the 4th is used for an IP phone)
if they require faster speeds.
We have not received one
In the k-12 space, Cisco Meraki, Aerohive, and Ruckus continue to be the big
players even in small districts, with others, including Ubiquiti, not making
much of a dent. Those solutions also tend to come in at or lower than Ubiquiti.
One of the drivers for solutions such as Meraki is that from m
I’m not questioning the cost, just the available options. I feel like I
sometimes want to tow a 15’ travel trailer and my options from the established
vendors are a Peterbuilt, Mack, and Freightligner at 4x the cost of an F-150
that is adequate to the task. Because of that, there are a lot of sm
On the cost of devices.
Some enterprise vendor solutions may be nothing more than the same
off-the-shelf design that the consumer models use, including using the same
radio code. When there are radio code issues, the vendor goes back to
Broadcom, Marvell, or Qualcomm for a fix. Other enterpris

Well it normally comes down to "you get what you pay for". A quality solution
does cost. We did 205h in every other
room and are happy with the outcome. We did every other room to keep cost down
while providing good coverage.

We are actively looking at both the 205H and 303H from Aruba. The list price
for the 205H is $695 and the new 303H is $495 (with wave 2 and SU/MU-MIMO) but
will require a minimum OS of 6.5. I am leaning towards the 303H as it will be
cost effective with our standard discount. Planning to deploy
I'm not opposed to using a low cost device, just make sure you are doing things
that are scalable and lead to good experiences.
NAT provides some hard issues to address. First off, no roaming. Ip
addressing will change. Even on a common SSID, each device will lose all

Bruce,
I have had this mindset for a long time, but I've been questioning it
recently.
Due to a political situation I won't bother going into, our dorm residents
are able to purchase internet connections from wideopenwest or Comcast.
They set up their own APs and some of our dorms are rogue nightm
Maybe reach out to Ruckus. They sell a lot into hospitality and can get very
aggressive with pricing for what you are looking to do. Tell them I sent you
(used to work there).
And then what will likely happen is that Aruba or Cisco will hate that you and
then try to beat them on pricing. :-)
It does bring up a problem that I’ve been complaining about for a long time –
the top tier vendors don’t really offer any low cost single-room solutions,
especially when it comes to ac. For example, what is there between this
Mikrotik device at $50 and an Aruba AP-205H for $400? I see they have

IMHO what you potentially save upfront will probably cost you dearly in
maintenance, support issues and customer (dis)satisfaction.

Try hexagonal chicken wire. They used that to put up plaster in old buildings
and it will flat kill a wireless signal. I’ve also seen sand placed in the
voids of concrete block (for sound dampening in an old Fine Arts building) kill
a signal pretty dead too.

That's going to be tremendously difficult to manage, is my first thought.

Hmm. How many rooms, buildings, and end devices, Michael?
700 rooms over 10 buildings and about 3000 end devices.

My first thought is this.
Are these boxes centrally managed? It appears you are using WPA2-Personal. If
so, it would be a pain to need to revisit each box every year to change the PSK.
How is channel coordination happening to minimize interference?
