Will Cisco IW (Industrial Wireless) Access Point Models support a Meraki Persona?

I know there are plans to support a Meraki persona for certain Cat9K APs but wanted to know if there is any support for the Industrial Wireless models? i.e. IW6300

From what I have heard no. Same goes for the Cisco IE switches. They will stay 2 different personna.

I don't anticipate Cisco training Meraki support on for rugged wireless devices anytime in the next 3-5 years at least. That's just a guess from someoneon the internet who doesn't work for Cisco/Meraki.


As an example, Meraki support might be asked about additional connector options (like M12) for harsh environments.

On the wireless front we have only seen new models being supported with both persona's.
I believe both development teams need input in the hardware to create a fully compatible model with software support.
