Adam, Please, contact our office and talk to Jim about this. We have done everything from small hotels, to entire city wide wifi networks. We have a range of solutions. We do use CAPsMAN quite a bit, and with the new outdoor dual band access points for 89 bucks, hard to beat in price. There are other factors, such as density etc, as well as authentication that need to be looked at, we have solutions from the fairly inexpensive to supid priced but stupid dense systems.
Unfi still unifi, works in low density applications, expensive on the outdoor installations in comparison to some solutions. We prefer capsman over unifi, cheaper, slicker, but not as "pretty" of a web interface. Other options though are out there as well including auto meshing systems etc. Dennis From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of SmarterBroadband Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 3:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] Fairgrounds WiFi We are looking to upgrade some equipment we use to provide WiFi to a fairgrounds site. Has anyone compared Cambium cnMaestro vs UBNT UniFi? Good / Bad? Looks like the Cambium E500 is not available yet. Therefore thinking ePMP 1000 Hotspot. Can deployed Hotspot APs be grouped in cnMaestro so we can change wifi wpa passwords across multiple APs at once? Is UniFi a good solution today? Is Mikrotik with CAPsMan worth a look. Any thoughts ideas appreciated. Adam
