Why plants get talked into Meraki
The ISP already has the DIA in the electrical room. The next sentence is usually: we will hang Meraki, manage it, bill it monthly. You own nothing. Three years later the APs are still theirs.
ThinkSo’s version: Cisco APs from the shelf, ThinkSo 1-year on the hardware, no cloud license line. If a radio dies we pull a spare, not a purchase order from their portal.
- Two APs in the office
- High-bay units every other dock, office toward the NID
- No Meraki. No Cisco DNA term required to light the floor
Hang APs on the same lift day as the cameras.
