Hi Chase,
Welcome to the list! Thanks for joining us.
I guess my biggest questions revolve around the "phone home" feature.
What is that needed?
How can we assure our customers that no data mining etc. is taking place?
What's the advantage to YOU guys with the phone home function? I'd think it
could easily require significant bandwidth to support.
Do you guys automatically update the firmware on the units since you know
which ones are online and what their job is?
Yeah, I'm paranoid. I'm an ISP, it's expected! SOMEONE has to protect my
poor customers. hehehehe
thanks!

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!
Regards,
Chase
