nathan3388 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Hi Was wondering if someone could give us a quote for 10 x access points of the above brand or similar decent brands. We have ruckus at most of our sites, only down side is that the firmware for the zone director is quiet old and on 9.8.2 and the access points will need to support this firmware are the R700 still descent to get or outdated now. With the other brands i know that some wireless points elected a master and configure the others which is also an option or can go down the standard alone route of configuring all the wifi points. The access points will also have to support vlans as there is a guest network in the school that we are quoting for. The access points will have to have support A,AC,G dual band. Please dont hesitate to drop me a PM Thanks Nathan
yac2016 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Does it need to be the 2 options stated? I would suggest Unifi, awesome kit across the UBNT range and the pricing is great to.
AlanD Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I would take a very good look at ubiquity kit from http://www.4gon.co.uk Probably the HD nano units or the full HD units. But don’t take my or any one else’s views without getting one in and testing it meets your requirements....it’s always a potential mistake to believe what is best for one is the best for another. There may be particular circumstances that make one make or model more suitable or not not suitable at all.
nathan3388 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Does the UniFi need a controller or does the access point elect a master?
AlanD Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 You can run the controller software on a pc or a virtual machine or server or whatever...well as far as I know. Or, you can run their cloud version, but that does cost money of course...although nothing like the costs of meraki or Aerohive.
yac2016 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 You can get the cloud services free for 3 years. However just in a virtual PC would do. Get a AP test it for yourself, you won’t regret it.

AlanD Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I think the cloud key is only free for the first year. But you would need to check.
