From Ars Technica -
San Francisco mesh networking startup Meraki has introduced its $1,499 MR58 WiFi router. Designed for outdoor use, it has three separate 802.11n radios each of which can be used for front-end networks or backhaul, while meshing with nearby networks. Both omnidirectional and directional antennas can be separately used with each radio.
Comparable products from competitors list for $5,000 (street, over $3,000) not including back-end management hardware, and lack the 802.11n support for distance and throughput.
Founder Sanjit Biswas said the new router would be used in "high-end hospitality and apartment complexes as well as educational campuses of all sizes. They're looking for something that can help them deliver something like the backhaul of a DS3 or FiOS connection."
