Open Mesh base stations are also nice and easy to use, don't require direct connection to the network (hence mesh), handle a large number of clients and offer options such as external antennas, Ethernet ports and public and private SSID. Like Meraki they are also cloud managed via Cloudtrax.com

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

Hi Jason and Sam, Thank you for your input. The iPads will be carried around the unit while using the internet but not while connected to an Apple TV. When connected they will be in a stationary position near the monitor (and Apple TV). The unit is rectangular shape divided mainly by machinery

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

One thought though, if the iPads are to be located next to the TVs, they’ll need either a wifi router (airport express) or an HDMI A/V cable to plug directly into the TV (no need for an AppleTV then) Regards Sam

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

the only thing I can imagine you gaining is better coverage for the iPad(s) to send their information to the router(s) to display via the Apple TVs. ARe the iPads moving around? What shape is your 5000 feet? Do they need to go in specific locations (eg round the edges)? Is this for one image t

If I understood you correctly, all you need is: * 8 Apple TVs * One ethernet switch to accommodate at least 8 Apple TVs * One router Thanks, Jack On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 3:33 PM, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > That could easily be accompanied with a basic, generic ethernet cable > router, if bei

Thanks Sam and Russell. The company quoting is an authorised Apple retailer with experience setting these up in schools. I thought it was over the top but wanted an extra opinion before advising my colleagues. Many thanks for your input. Regards, Benjamin Phillips > On 7 Apr 2015, at 14:33,

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

That could easily be accompanied with a basic, generic ethernet cable router, if being on a separate network was essential (stops anyone taking over the display with an iPhone if they're on the same network) but there's no need for airport base stations at all. Regards Sam

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

Ok, I am no expert but that sounds a bit dubious to me. What's the point of putting in extra steps if the network is basically going to be wired anyway? Try a quote from another company? Regards Russell -- Manor Park Medical Centre www.m

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

Hi Sam, Yes the company is quoting for all the equipment with exception to the monitors. So this is iPads, cases and airplay equipment. >From what I understand they were wanting to connect the airport express and apple tv together using an ethernet cable and then possibly connect all the expre

Re: [sussex_mug] Apple TV Network

Is the company perhaps quoting for all the equipment? Sounds like they’re rinsing you for profit. There’s no need for Airport Express base stations and certainly would actually decrease the performance if they were then connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme, then to the Draytek. Apple TVs

Hello, I have a question regarding the use of Apple TVs in a factory. We are looking at putting 8 Apple TVs on our production floor which is a total size of 5000 square feet on 1 story. The Apple TVs will be used to mirror the display of iPad Mini 2. The company quoting us tells us we should ha
