Cisco Cisco, or Cisco Meraki?

 

When I encounter customers who have Cisco APs or even security appliances, it 
seems they are pushing the Meraki product line now.  It could be the same old 
stuff with different branding, but probably not, it seems that Cisco realized 
the Meraki stuff was better and that’s why they paid over $1 billion to buy the 
company.

 

The original Cisco WiFi product line I suspect was overpriced and nothing to 
write home about.  Along the lines of the old saying that nobody every got 
fired for buying IBM.  Subsititute Cisco for IBM.

I used 6 UniFi APs to prove a point against 26 Cisco APs in a warehouse for 
barcode scanners...

I have never had issues with them.

We have a small agriculture “campus” where we need to connect about 6 APs back 
to the campus tower for “roaming” Wifi if that is a thing.  Meaning the guy 
with a tablet is going to wander the grounds and need to switch APs 
automagically.  In the past, we have just setup Mikrotik 2.4 APs at each spot, 
backhauled it to the main tower, and the customer had to pick the best AP.

 

I know there are high $$ solutions but trying to do this on the cheap.

 

How does UBNT Unifi do with something like this?  

 

Any better (still in the cheap range) solutions?
