Hi John,
Thanks for responding. What were you using prior to Meraki for WLAN management
and reporting as well as type of APs? Since you already have a deployment
ready, did you encounter any issues while setting it up? We are currently using
Cisco's WCS (just upgraded to version 6.0) to manage our WLAN with 1100s
running b/g/a. Are you familiar with WCS's management and reporting? I'm
curious to know what we may be able to gain with this service. Are you seeing
much of a cost savings on your bottom line? Also, when you reference increased
performance, is that a result of a move to 11n radios or are you referring to
Meraki's b/g APs? I'll be speaking with one of their engineers in a couple
weeks about their product, but it would be nice to hear how your deployment
works out for the academic year when you have a chance.
Thanks,
Branden

We are currently rolling out a campus-wide deployment of Meraki, have about 40
devices in place at the moment, and expect to saturate the campus with about
260 devices.
Our initial experience shows a substantial increase in performance over our
existing b/g system, but a full report on performance will have to wait until
after our students arrive in September.
We're very happy with the management and reporting interface, and the company
is very responsive to our input . Feel free to contact me directly with
questions about it.
John

Anyone have experience with this company? I'm especially interested if
you've actually seen the performance of this service.
