Meraki manages networks of wireless access points, switches and security devices, quickly and easily, from a single, central cloud dashboard.

It makes it easy to install and manage any-scale, ‘self-assembling’ WiFi. There’s no trade-off between power and simplicity: even entry-level Meraki kit comes with enterprise-class wireless, security and switching capabilities. And it opens up sophisticated network capabilities like Guest access and BYOD for every businesses. Tiny – or vast.

No-wires networking. It is wonderful. But scaling up can call for time, skills and budget better deployed elsewhere. So thousands of organisations have made the move to Meraki, whose smart kit creates networks that virtually manage themselves across a site or an entire country.

Humdrum but important housekeeping such as provisioning, firmware updates and patches are automated. And if there’s a failure in the network, Meraki routes round it. Mesh technologies step in pre-emptively with automatic link optimisation, adaptive capacity management and failure resilience.

Unifying your networkWhen people do intervene, it’s not for tedious network chores. And they can do it from any device. Freed from geography, network admins troubleshoot and control the network with a touch or a click. In fact, the Cisco Meraki cloud architecture provides the industry’s only end-to-end solution unifying WAN, LAN, wireless LAN, and mobile device management, top-to-bottom and core-to-edge, under a single pane of glass.

C r i b S h e e t

Wireless • Self-configuring, plug-and-play deployment.• Integrated enterprise security and guest access.• Dedicated radio for security and RF optimisation with integrated spectrum

analysis (indoor models).• Flexible group policy engine for creating and applying application-aware

policies by network, device-type, and end-user.

Security • Application-aware traffic control: set bandwidth policies based on Layer 7 application type (e.g. YouTube, Skype, P2P).

• Content filtering.• Intrusion prevention: PCI-compliant IPS.• Anti-virus and anti-phishing: flow-based protection engine powered by

Kaspersky.• Identity-based security policies and application management.• Built-in DHCP, NAT, QoS, and VLAN management services.• WAN optimisation: data redundancy elimination, protocol optimisation, and

compression provide bandwidth savings up to 99%.

Switching • Low power consumption, quiet acoustic designs, and shallow rack depth, which enable flexible deployment in wiring closets as well as offices and classrooms.

• Fanless design on select models.• Up to 740 watt PoE budget with PoE+ support for powering APs, phones,

cameras, and other PoE enabled devices (124W for MS220-8/P).• Field-replaceable, hot-swappable power supplies and RPS option for

mission-critical applications.• Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritise mission-critical traffic such as voice
