• CleanAir - Put this technology into all the APs.
• GPS Tracker - I can't understand why only the Cisco 1570 has this option as well as larger Cisco 3800 APs. Why can't this be in all APs so they can be easily mapped in Google for positioning and later plotted for the coverage zone.

• There needs to be an easier way to see which devices are being heavier used, so as to determine needed adjustments.
• It would be good to have more in-depth access to what locations connected devices are navigating to.
• Cost. These devices could be a little more competitive if the cost were lower. Meraki prices itself out of some sales.

• They have performed well, in areas where we needed more APs to offload, these can handle more users.
