Google Loves Open Source WiFi

Google funded Meraki a few months ago with an “open source development grant” to help the company keep parts of its technology open source, and to work with Google’s muni WiFi deployments. The Meraki Minis will cost around $50 each and can be used as a Google WiFi repeater, extending the coverage of GoogleFi into homes and offices. Because the platform is partly open source, developers can add and share software that runs over the Meraki mesh routing.
