Platform
Cloud-managed WiFi for organisations that want oversight.
Cisco Meraki access points are managed from a cloud dashboard, making it easier to monitor many sites and apply consistent settings.
The problem
Why it matters
Growing businesses need visibility across locations, firmware management and consistent security without an on-site IT team at every branch.
How it works
Our approach
- 01Meraki access points connect to Cisco's cloud dashboard for configuration, monitoring and firmware.
- 02Licences are required for the hardware to remain managed. Licensing model, term and price depend on current Cisco arrangements and are shown separately in your proposal.
- 03Our $800 per access point allowance covers hardware supply, standard mounting and basic setup as an estimate — it does not include all licence terms.
