Ive heard xirrus work well in open spaces such as stadiums and what not. Im trailing ruckus, doing my own site survey, first with one ap in set locations then deploying 3 out into strategic areas then doing another test. Going well so far and testing down to about -70 to -75. So far, it just works

Yes, It Just works!

No annoying restarts, changing of settings, trying to move closer to the AP's!

Ruckus stuff is just great!

Network IT 24 were excellent too!

Cant recommend them enough!

My old school got the Aerohive solution from LAN3 - and they were awesome, delivered an awesome system, and we never looked back!

Hi Guys!

Quick update! Ruckus has been great, no issues what so ever!

Can handle any amount of RM Netbooks, iPad minis and old dell laptops we throw at it!

Great stuff! Much better than the old system we had!

 

Our partner school is scrapping there Meru system and going for exactly the same system as us now! 7982 Ap's with a ZD3000 Controller!!!

Hi all,

 

I've just changed jobs after 13 years at the same place. We had Meru there provided under BSF and had no end of problems. Meru did send engineers out to get it working however we have had 2 APs fail in the last 12 months and no response when we have requested compatibility information on NICs. Compatibility and configuration of NICs was the cause of the problems we experienced. We had 120 APs installed to provide almost blanket coverage.

 

My new job has a Ruckus system in place. It's a much larger site with a mix of 1800-1900s buildings and has 40 7982 APs providing almost blanket coverage to very heavy bandwidth users.

We got our Ruckus from @CPLTD. Easy to download all the updates from their site, good support when you need it.

 

same here and they did an awesome job and were really nice people too.

We were trying to decide between a Ruckus and Meru but ended up going for Meru.

To be honest it's been fine. The only problem I had was getting the SSL certificate for the controller in but actual usage I've not seen any problems and it seems to cope prety well with out 1890's stone building.
