Meter Inc —
Managed Networking as a Subscription

Meter Inc provides a fully managed networking subscription that includes hardware (switches, routers, and WiFi access points), cloud-based management software, and ongoing monitoring — all under a single monthly fee. Instead of purchasing networking equipment upfront and hiring staff to manage it, businesses pay a per-location subscription and Meter handles everything from initial installation to ongoing firmware updates and troubleshooting. The subscription model means hardware is always current and never depreciates on your balance sheet.

A Meter subscription includes the full networking stack — managed switches, routers, and WiFi access points. Meter designs and manufactures its own hardware, which is purpose-built for cloud management via the Meter Dashboard. Hardware is included at no additional cost; you are not responsible for purchasing, owning, or replacing it. If hardware fails, Meter replaces it. If Meter releases a hardware upgrade, customers on the subscription receive it as part of the service.

Yes. Meter offers Cellular Network Solutions that integrate 4G/5G cellular connectivity directly into the Meter-managed network. Cellular can function as a primary connection for locations without reliable fiber, or as automatic failover that activates within seconds when the primary connection drops. Because Meter manages both the wired and cellular layers through the same platform, failover is seamless without requiring separate equipment or manual reconfiguration.

Traditional networking requires purchasing hardware outright, configuring equipment (often with specialized IT staff), patching firmware manually, and replacing devices when they reach end-of-life. Meter replaces that entire model with a subscription: hardware is included, cloud-managed, monitored 24/7 by Meter, and updated automatically. For businesses without in-house networking expertise, this eliminates the need to hire or contract specialists. For businesses with IT staff, it offloads routine network operations so the team can focus on higher-value work.

Yes. Meter is specifically designed for multi-location deployments. The Meter Dashboard provides centralized visibility and management across all sites from a single interface — so you can see the health, traffic, and configuration of every location without logging into individual devices. For retail chains, franchise networks, and distributed enterprises, this means one support relationship and one management platform instead of per-location complexity.

Meter for Retail is purpose-built managed networking for retail locations. It includes the full Meter hardware stack (switches, routers, WiFi), designed for rapid deployment across multiple store locations with zero on-site IT required. Retail-specific features include guest WiFi segmentation, POS network isolation, and centralized multi-site visibility. Fast deployment timelines make it practical for store openings, remodels, and network refresh cycles without hiring local IT contractors at each site.

No. Meter is designed for zero on-site IT dependency. Initial installation is handled by Meter or a qualified installer, and ongoing management is performed remotely through the Meter cloud platform. Staff at the location do not need networking knowledge — if an issue arises, Meter identifies and addresses it proactively through remote monitoring, often before the business is aware of a problem.
