popeel Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Hi All, I am using Meru wireless kit and don't complain to the system at all. But, when we come to upgrade APs and license that is where the problem stated (I have around 70 APs). I heard that there is a wireless solution without APs just use areal like in short wave signals. I have come a cross with Aerohive and that is not the solution I am looking for . Very reliable and powerful one without APs just use wifi points covering 4,5 classrooms with thick walls. Any help would be much appreciate. Pubudu
Chrisj2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Rukus would use a lot less wireless points due to the power of the APs 1
glennda Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I think the solution you may have seen is Xirrus although not sure if it will do quite what you want. I've been doing a lot of stuff with Meraki but it would probably require the same amount of AP's as Meru.
plexer Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I don't know about a wireless solution with no ap's though they all have some sort of ap? Ben
john Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Another vote for Ruckus works well for us and a number of other schools in North Yorkshire have it (off the top of my head I can think of 5, with 3 of them being close to you) and report good things about it.
timbo343 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Another vote for ruckus. Got my kit, easy to setup and impressed with it even if i have only got 6 APs when i could do with 25 but thats budgets for you.
TheScarfedOne Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 More Ruckus love here...just unboxed my nice new ZoneDirector 3000 today ahead of @Net-Ctrl installation at the end of the week. Removing an old Meru system... :-p
Net-Ctrl Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Morning @popeel we have a lot of time and love for Ruckus at Net-Ctrl. If you would be interested i can set up a call with one our wireless guys to talk you through the Ruckus system, we also have a fully certified wireless technician who will happily talk to you about wireless at a general level as well. We have looked after countless projects in schools of all sizes and would be more than happy to asisst you with yours. Alternatively we are at BETT next week on stand D55 and the guys mentioned above will all be there
