Meraki: end of life for the Standard Edition
Meraki is introducing more changes:
- Meraki Indoor
- End of life of the Standard Edition line of products
- Prices now start at $149
The Meraki Indoor improves upon the Meraki Mini by adding built-in signal strength LEDs, a hardware watchdog for withstanding power fluctuations and a sleeker enclosure with a built-in antenna…
We are also announcing the end of life of our Standard Edition (ad-supported) products, which will no longer be available to new customers after January 31, 2009…
As an existing Standard Edition customer, your networks will continue to operate normally and Meraki will continue providing hosted services for the lifetime of the product. As part of our streamlined product offering, your networks will have certain features enabled in Dashboard which were previously only available in Pro Edition, including custom images on splash pages and unlimited device whitelisting.
I also received this in an email newsletter today. To say that I am dismayed is a tremendous understatement.
Quite simply, this once and for all ends any chance Meraki had to change the world. Unless you count driving the early adopters away to form an open source product that changes the world!
Sigh.
Attention Open-Mesh : you are our only hope.
