Hi, John asked me to pop in and say "hi" on behalf of Meraki. He and I go way back. Whatever questions you guys have I'll be happy to answer.
A little about me: Been at Meraki since September of last year. Worked at MVN, NCSA, and Mozilla. Volunteered on CUWiN from 2002 to 2006 with Dave, Sascha, Bryan, and others. Been involved in NS4CWN in 2004 and 2006. Rick Smith asks:
OK, but can we as wisps use the meraki units on our own ? i.e. can we use it to extend mikrotik hotspots out through a mesh of merakii (hah!) or, do we have to pay Meraki to use their hotspot stuff ?
I've not set up a Mikrotik hotspot before but based on product photos I assume it can connect upstream via wired and wireless (functioning as a client to an AP in an infrastructure network) connections. In both scenarios, the Meraki Mini can function as that upstream connection. Of course, the Mini can function as a hotspot as well. If you have specific feature requirements that would simplify and enhance your deployments, I'm excited to hear about them. We think you're all doing great work!
