Performance and Scalability

Scalable Coverage
Create large-scale networks capable of serving thousands of simultaneous 802.11a/b/g/n devices, while providing a single seamless network experience. Meraki’s architecture ensures that there are no bottlenecks or single points of failure in the network.

Meraki Mesh
Extend network coverage to areas without wired Ethernet connections. Meraki’s industry-leading wireless routing algorithms choose the fastest, most reliable paths through single-radio, multi-radio, and mixed-radio mesh networks.

Dynamic RF Optimization
Adapt to changing interference conditions and utilize the maximum available wireless spectrum. System-wide channel optimization maximizes client performance and client density throughout the network.

Security

Virtual Network Isolation
Operate multiple fully isolated virtual wireless networks, each with its own policies and VLAN-tagged traffic, on a single physical network.

Encryption
Prevent eavesdropping on the wireless network with strong, standards-based encryption methods including WEP, WPA2, and AES.

Hosted Directory Services
Use best practice WPA2-Enterprise (802.1x) authentication with Meraki’s built-in hosted directory service, or integrate with existing RADIUS servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory.

Guest Access
Provide temporary access to guests and vendors with a fully customizable landing page experience, without exposing the enterprise’s internal network.

Meraki System Architecture: The Meraki system uses a hybrid cloud hosted architecture, connecting on-premise Meraki access points to controller functionality and services in the cloud. Every network is served by multiple datacenters worldwide to ensure reliability.

User Management

Per-User Traffic Policies
Set bandwidth limits or block network usage, preventing heavy bandwidth users from affecting overall service quality.

Historical Audit Trails
Obtain a report about wireless traffic in the last hour or the last month.

Centralized Management

Multi-Site Management
Manage multiple branch offices or buildings from a single management interface.

Meraki Dashboard
Access the Meraki Cloud Controller through a web browser from anywhere in the world to securely monitor and administer the wireless network in real-time.

Role-Based Administration
Configure multiple administrator accounts with read-only or full privileges.

High Availability
Redundant systems in multiple data centers around the world provide a failover time for the Meraki Cloud Controller that is measured in seconds.

Test Tools
Check the connectivity and performance of a wireless network, simulate user authentication, and more without setting foot on-site or using a command line interface.

Quality Of Service

Priority Voice Support
Provide mobile devices with enhanced call quality using 802.11e/WMM prioritized queueing.

Power Save Support
Enable mobile devices such as phones, PDAs, and audio players to conserve battery power with 802.11e/WMM power save support.

Platform

Meraki OS
Meraki’s secure, high-performance operating system was built from the ground up to be robust and auto-configuring with minimal administrative intervention.

Over-the-Air Firmware Upgrades
Stay up-to-date through upgrades that occur in the background, so that networks continue operating with minimal downtime.

Out-of-Band Architecture
No client traffic flows through the Meraki Cloud Controller, ensuring maximum performance and availability.

Meraki Control Tunnel
Meraki’s secure network tunnel provides highly available networking configuration, statistics, and monitoring without any special configuration.

No Expensive
Hardware Administrators no longer have to replace hardware-based WLAN controllers. Instead, Meraki’s Enterprise Cloud Controller has all the features required for a large office deployment out of the box, and includes enterprise-class phone support and software maintenance.

Easy
The Meraki Enterprise Cloud Controller enables administrators to bring up new wireless deployments in minutes, not days. Meraki access points are plug-and-play, auto-configuring through the Meraki Enterprise Cloud Controller right out of the box. A streamlined, intuitive web interface reduces upfront training and installation time, while reducing maintenance and troubleshooting time over the long run.

Secure
Meraki provides a wide range of standards-based security and access control options, from simple pre-shared key encryption to enterprise-class 802.1x authentication. Different user groups, such as employees and guests, can be placed in distinct virtual networks that isolate traffic according to corporate policy.

Scalable
The Meraki Enterprise Cloud Controller provides true centralized management without any additional hardware. Centrally manage up to 1,000 wireless networks, each with up to 1,000 access points. Whether the networks are on multiple floors of a building, multiple buildings on a campus, or multiple campuses around the world, an administrator can push a single configuration to all of the networks instantly, and get aggregated usage and connectivity data in a single view.

Industry-Leading Coverage
Meraki’s 802.11a/b/g/n single-, dual-, and multi-radio access points enable administrators to cover large areas with wireless connectivity easily and effectively. With technologies such as mesh routing and dynamic channel optimization, Meraki access points offer excellent coverage in even the most challenging RF environments.
