No doubt there will be some bumps over the next few months as Meru does some right-sizing and works on potential partnerships.
We have had a very solid experience with Meru hardware, software, and support. We've had stability in support personnel, although our local SE is in the process of relocating to a different Meru territory . We already have a new SE assigned and are confident he will continue to provide good support based on his several-year tenure with Meru. I think wireless technology is another example of an environment where no single vendor will be a good fit for everyone. That's part of the fun of being in the IT business...exploring alternatives and optimizing solutions for the local situation.
