Hi Kevin,
At Villanova, we're migrating from Cisco "fat" APs to Meru. One of the
things we found is, we need fewer Meru APs than before. For example, we
were able to provide service for over 500 law students taking exams with
10 Meru APs in 5 classrooms. Since all the APs were on a single
channel, if we did have a contention issue, adding another AP to the mix
would have been a simple process. No need to play with channel layouts
& power settings.

May be a little off subject but I would like to post question out there
as it seems there are some happy Meru users here on this forum......
Any thoughts or advice on implementing/selecting a wireless system for
use in a High School environment ?
Specifically, would love any feedback on pros/cons of a central
controller based system (ie -Meru, Aruba, etc) vs installing Fat AP's
around our building.
While our needs are quite simple I am sure, compared to the size of
other user's who have posted, I can see there is a great deal of
knowledge and experience in this area. Basic site surveys conducted here
have indicated we need somewhere around 25 access points to provide
coverage throughout our building.
Appreciate any input on this subject.
