Open Mesh -- the new Meraki

Today Michael Burmeister-Brown called me up and announced a new product and
company designed to fill the void left by Meraki =97
Open-Mesh<http://www.open-mesh.com/>.


Open-Mesh <http://www.open-mesh.com/> does everything the original Meraki
did =97 and more:

   - It's inexpensive. Open-Mesh WiFi repeaters cost $49 each or $39.95
   (qty 20)
   - It's Ad free. Open-Mesh promises they will never push ads into your
   networks. You decide what, if any, content you want to display.
   - It's 100% open source and deployed on top of OpenWRT<http://www.ggg.co=
m/>.
   You can change anything.
   - You can re-flash the firmware if you want.
   - The Dashboard management system provides free administration,
   alerting and mapping. It allows you to configure the ESSID, splash page,
   passwords, and Bandwith allocation of your networks.
   - The devices auto-configure. It's simple to create a neighborhood or
   apartment network. You don't need to use their management system if you
   don't want to.
