Notes
• TX-ODE Odessa is the flagship — 247 of 261 devices (95%) live there, with proper core/access architecture (MS425 → MS125)
• 230 access points across 10 wings — averaging 23 MR36 per wing — suggests dense guest-room coverage
• Each building has 2× MS125-48FP (96 ports) feeding ~45 APs · oversubscription leaves room for IPTV, IoT, room control
• MG21 LTE failover at both sites — important for Carlsbad given remote location and limited terrestrial circuit options
• NM-CAR runs no Meraki wireless · either uses third-party APs or doesn't offer guest WiFi at this property
• MS120-8FP (FP = full PoE+) at Carlsbad enables PoE for IP phones and access control even on small access switches
