Additionally, schools can choose from three WLAN controllers at no additional cost. Choices include the MC1550, MC3200, and MC4200 controllers.

All of the systems provide onboard provisioning for BYOD, with support for 802.1X.

The latest Meru Education-Grade bundles are available now.

In other Meru news, the company reported today that it has signed a distribution agreement with Douglas Stewart Co. Under the agreement, DSC will provide Meru Education-Grade solutions through its distribution network.
