Deployment

DeploymentOnce the decision was made to deploy Meraki throughout Phuket, Dr. Surapant noted that “it took 3 months of site planning, but the installation happened quickly.” The team deployed and mounted 120 Meraki MR84 APs in less than a week.Dr. Surapant remembered how quickly everything moved. Just six days after the Meraki APs arrived in Thailand, Phuket had a kick-off event for the Government to announce the Phuket SmartCity WiFi project. “Thankfully, the Government and CAT Telecom had chosen Meraki, a wireless solution that was so fast to deploy,” remarked Mayor Chalermluck.The team managed to install and deploy 120 Meraki MR84s throughout the city centre and the beach in just five days, in time for the kick-off event.

“To be able to deploy 120 APs across the city and have it working in 5 days is an impressive effort - such an express installation with Meraki,”

Dr. Surapant Meknavin, a Director at CAT Telecom
