Meraki Announces Availability Of Solar Powered WiFi Device
San Francisco CA (SPX) Dec 08, 2008 Meraki has announced the availability of Meraki Solar, the world's first self-powered WiFi mesh device. The Meraki Solar is powered by its own solar panel and solar-charged battery and represents a quantum leap forward in enabling the rapid deployment of large outdoor networks. Meraki Solar is completely energy independent, making it ideal for providing WiFi coverage in hard-to-wire areas without easy access to power supplies such as business districts, resorts, rural areas, parks, golf courses, and more. Each unit is completely self-contained and ready to mount on roofs, walls, poles and anywhere that receives sun exposure. In many cases the single most expensive line item in an outdoor wireless network installation is the time and material required for electrical cabling to install an access point. Because Meraki Solar leverages a solar-powered battery, there is no need to touch the local electrical infrastructure. Outdoor wireless networks can be set up quickly in hard-to-wire areas and without support from third-party electricians, saving customers time and money, and making the Meraki Solar incredibly cost-effective. "Traditional outdoor wireless solutions often require expensive and time-consuming installation and electrical cabling efforts," said Sanjit Biswas, Meraki CEO. "Meraki Solar is unique because it doesn't require special electrical cabling. Its power source is contained within the solution, so customers can deploy wireless in hard-to-wire areas quickly and without disrupting their businesses." Meraki Solar runs on its own state-of-the-art lithium iron phosphate battery, providing for higher power density, faster recharging and increased safety. This is the same type of battery used to power the One-Laptop-Per-Child (OLPC) computer, and the Meraki Solar is the first product of its kind to leverage this cutting-edge technology. Battery charging is monitored and managed via Meraki's web-based management Dashboard, the same management tool included with all Meraki devices.
