Electronic shelf labeling (ESL) is an IoT technology that is quickly gaining traction. Digital ESL tags frequently use a proprietary low-power wireless connection to offer real-time informational text and/or graphics in retail, transportation, manufacturing, or other sectors.   Check out the following video for a streamlined retail wireless deployment using Meraki components with an ESL-supported MR access point.     This video is part of the Implementing ESL Technology with Meraki MR  module in the MR Advanced Implementation course.
