Hi,
So I work at a college and we are in the process of replacing our aged Cisco Wireless network. We have gone out to tender and received 3 bids back. The options are Meru, Meraki and Samsung (?!?!?). We are initially deploying about 60 APs to 2 new builds and then over the next year we will be deploying about another 250-ish APs across the older buildings to replace what we have now. We have around 850 members of staff and around 15,000 student. So my questions are which vendor would you go for? I'd never heard of Samsung doing Enterprise wireless solutions before last week, does anybody have or know of anyone who has one deployed and could offer an opinion on it? I've also read that Meru has just been bought out by Fortinet, so I don't know whether buying into them is a good idea or not, depending on what they are going to do with the currently available product line. Merakis offering is a cloud based controller, Which I am assuming will be ongoing annual cost for the life of the product?
Cheers in advance
