Things have been quiet on this website for the last few months but that doesn’t mean that nothing is happening.  We are still involved in a number of projects  as well as planning future project for 2012.

One of these projects involves the rolling out of a public wifi service in a city in the South-West of Haiti. Our intention is to build this network as homogenous as possible using hardware from one manufacturer so that we will avoid possible compatibility issues. We’ve been exploring our options and have spoken to a number of manufacturers. One of these is Meraki. The people there have been very interested in our plans and promised to send some test equipment. I filled out an application form and 2 days later received an email notifying that the equipment had been shipped. It awoke the inner geek in me and I have been eagerly awaiting it’s arrival. Today the UPS van pulled up outside and I was handed a nice brown box. Inside was a Meraki MR66 Outdoor Access Point.

Unfortunately the power adapters & antennas were shipped seperatly and I have to wait until these arrive before I can run the equipment through its paces. Once we have tested it I will post a review here!
