I know Lutron is a great company with great products but I also know they are very expensive. Unlike Eaton, Lutron also uses proprietary frequencies (I believe Clear Connect works in the 400s), which from a wireless coexistence perspective is excellent, but it comes with the higher price tag.

Hi Manny, I'm curious, why is your facilities department looking to replace Lutron? We are being asked to look at them as a lighting control solution on our campus. Thanks, Mike From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv

I’m curious about the requirement that controllers be “cloud based” and what business requirement that maps to. Trying to understand what a cloud based controller give your business that an on-premises controller does not. How that translates to better experience, happier students or faster

1. I recommend Aruba as well. 2. The AP’s are rock solid, reasonably priced, and easy to set up. 3. I have had varying experiences with support, licensing, and with upgrades (both good and bad). 4. I would ask why you have a requirement that the controller be cloud-based in this

Those are good words to put in my mouth. In addition to these operational benefits, there is a strong philosophical commitment at the C-level to cloud-based services whenever it is feasible, so we don't go with on-prem unless there is no feasible way to do it with cloud. I am very appreciative
