In terms of pros/cons with going to Open-Source over Commercial for VOIP, what should we be looking at? I'm extremely hesitant to base this critical infrastructure on open-source, although Asterisk seems like a mature product. -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues

Hi Randy, Morrisville has been a happy Meru customer since 2007. We have over 800 AP320s blanketing the entire campus. We were their first 11n customer on a new controller platform, so we had our share of bugs, but Meru helped us through them years ago. I’d be happy to answer any specific

Randy, We have about 1100 AP320s right now and are installing a few hundred more over the next month or two. We have been very happy with this system. There have been no major issues and everything has worked as advertised. There have been minor issues, as there are with every product, but

Thanks that is comforting to hear. The deadlocking issues I read about were the only things that caused me to worry when placing this in production for our Voicemail, IVR, and Conferencing solution. But they have been up for 8 months without any reported issues plus it is saving us a good

A couple years ago we tested Meru, Aruba and Cisco wireless out in one of our buildings to see which system would best fit our environment. During the Meru test we had a serious failure caused by a bug in the code. Later I found out there was a work around, but as a result of that I had the

Meru currently supports IPv6 in bridging only mode, so you lose some of Meru's proprietary traffic management features. In testing I've had issues with SLAAC, but Illinois has not, so your mileage may vary. I haven't tested it since version 3.6 of their code. Our campus is currently routing

We plan on rolling out IPv6 on our secured SSID by at least World IPv6 day and have been running on a test SSID for several weeks now. Using RA to assign the addresses. No issues so far. We have only tested it on 4.0 MR2. -jim On 4/13/2011 11:49 AM, Johnson, Neil M wrote: Meru currently
