    How has it helped my organization?

    We implemented Meraki APs across our 5 offices in USA, UK, and India, and we can manage all of them from one dashboard. We have great metrics for bandwidth usage, easily finding out who is downloading movies. ;-)

    Using Radius server for user authentication is very simple to configure, creating new SSID, and it has a great alerting system.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    2 years

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    Deployment is very simple- just add the device to your dashboard, connect to the network, and it will automatically connect, update firmware, and update configuration to match with your others APs.
