Wifi Revolution

Meraki, a provider of wireless mesh networking solutions has introduced a Main Street WiFi (News - Alert) solution to help cities and towns deploy WiFi across approximately 1 square mile for less than $10,000.

Established in 2006, Meraki has been working on allowing businesses and organizations to deploy large scale networks quickly, easily, and at a disruptively low total cost. 

The New WiFi devices are of powerful plug-and-play technology and serve as a gateway, repeater, and access point all in one. Its software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) enabled management Dashboard also ensures that connectivity across the entire network is optimized and reliable. 

“We are seeing Main Streets and business districts around the globe adopt Meraki’s WiFi solution as an amenity for businesses, consumers and tourists, and as a means to drive local economic growth” said Sanjit Biswas (News - Alert), CEO and founder, Meraki.

The starter pack of this solution includes a 60 day money-back guarantee and will be made available until this month end.

Cities and towns who have deployed Meraki wireless solutions include Vista, CA (News - Alert); Nashua, NH, Ypsilanti, MI, and Coelemu, Chile, Prestonsburg, KY.

“WiFi has changed the perception of our town and has brought more people into the downtown area. Finding Meraki was like a breath of fresh air – their solution let us deploy and enjoy the results and not get bogged down in configuration and support,” said Brent Graden, Economic Director, and City of Prestonsburg, Kentucky.

Recently, the company set up a Partner Program designed to help resellers and IT solution providers optimize Meraki's wireless mesh networking technology.
