Meraki’s Solar Powered Wi-Fi Repeater Finally Shipping in December

10:08AM Jason Chen | We first wrote about Meraki and their solar-powered Wi-Fi repeater back in mid ‘07, but they’re finally getting ready to ship these next month.

Meraki’s Solar-powered Repeater Lets You Create Your Own Neighborhood Network

8:35AM Seamus Byrne | Wanna bring Wi-Fi to your entire neighborhood? Meraki’s $99 outdoor repeater lets you share your Internet access up to 700 feet (when paired with Meraki’s $49 Mini router). The repeater can be installed on a wall outside your window or on a pole and because it’s solar-powered, it doesn’t need to be connected to an outlet. After setting up the repeater, you have the option of charging users (they pay Meraki and Meraki pays you) or granting them free Net access (we’ll vouch for the latter). The outdoor repeater will debut later this summer. – Louis Ramirez Press Release More »
