Case Studies

The Town of Durham uses Cisco Meraki wireless access points, switches, security appliances, and EMM to provide town board members and citizens with a secure network.

• 8,000 permanent residents, growing to 14,000 when the University of New Hampshire is in session, and 80 government employees

• At least one switch, access point, and security appliance can be found at every town building - including the town hall, police station, and library

• Multiple SSIDs with private and guest networks configured for staff and guest access, with employees logging on via a WPA2 pre-shared key

• Wireless used for a variety of applications, including the police department’s hosted record system and emails across town departments

• Easy to configure site-to-site VPN utilized for secure communication between agencies and remote sites

• Systems Manager used to track government issued devices, such as iPads and Windows laptops

• Intuitive, centralized management across all locations via the Meraki cloud-based dashboard gives the IT team complete visibility and control

“When we brought in a Cisco Meraki test unit, I thought, ‘Wow, this is really something we could deploy and manage easily.” – Jay Hadley, IT Manager, City of Rancho Cordova

“With Meraki, we can view everything from one interface, which is so key for a small organization. To be able to consolidate management features into that single interface – that makes it all worth it.” – Luke Vincent, Manager of Information Technology, Town of Durham

The City of Rancho Cordova deployed Cisco Meraki to provide Wi-Fi to public spaces around the city, as well as to Code Enforcement and Animal Services vehicles.

• Located in the Sacramento metropolitan area with 65,000 residents and 120 employees and contractors

• Cisco Meraki full stack – access points, switches, and security appliances – deployed across the city

• Auto VPN, Layer 7 traffic shaping, VLAN tagging, and Active Directory integration create a secure and reliable network

• Open authentication allows guests to connect to the Internet with limited per-client bandwidth, while city employees can connect to a hidden staff SSID via Active Directory authentication

• Wi-Fi provided at the golf course, senior center, and parks to give equal access to all residents

• Code Enforcement and Animal Services departments and vehicles can connect directly to the network

• Site-to-site VPN between buildings and public spaces provides failover for wireless point to point connection

• Separate user profiles, settings, and tags are set up for staff-owned, city-owned, and IT devices managed via Systems Manager

• Remote management makes it simple to quickly create and modify group policies and traffic shaping rules

A Complete Network Solution for Governments of Any Size

Simplified Network Management

• Pre-configure devices before they arrive. Zero-touch provisioning allows for rapid deployment across multiple sites, taking days to set up an entire network, rather than months or years

• Configure, troubleshoot, and monitor all Meraki devices remotely - without going on-site to remote locations

• 3G/4G failover and Layer 3 and 7 traffic shaping for remote sites with limited Internet connectivity

• Scale and future-proof your network by quickly deploying additional hardware as needed

Physical and Network Security

• Security cameras provide local video storage, eliminating the need for a network video recorder (NVR) or server

• Stream video and create video walls for monitoring key areas across multiple sites without ever configuring an IP address or installing a plugin

• Troubleshoot network issues remotely with live tools like cable tests and packet captures

• Physical and virtual stacking and easy switch port configuration for headquarters and branch networks

• Network topology intelligently maps physical network links, showing how sites are wired and where devices are connected

• Two-click, site-to-site Auto VPN connects remote sites to HQ

• Built-in SD-WAN capabilities allow for traffic prioritization and reduce traffic routing costs

Manage and Track Government Owned Devices

• Centrally manage thousands of government-issued PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices

• Track and find devices for employees on the go with geolocation/GPS

• Pre-populate VPN and wireless configurations, so devices automatically work when employees receive them

• Remotely deploy software and applications in a few clicks

• Keep government data secure in the event of a lost or stolen device with lock, erase, and remote wipe and restriction enforcement features
