Centralised management via the cloud eliminates the cost and complexity of traditional on-site controllers.

Envertica have partnered with Cisco Meraki to design, deliver and support their full range of hardware based, cloud managed wireless access points.

Cisco Meraki provides powerful and intuitive centralised management via the cloud, while eliminating the cost and complexity of traditional on-site wireless controllers.

Meraki's cloud seamlessly manages campus-wide WiFi deployments and distributed multi-site networks with zero-touch access point provisioning, network-wide visibility and control, cloud-based RF optimisation, seamless firmware updates and more.

With an intuitive browser-based user interface, Meraki WLANs configure in minutes — not days or weeks — without training or dedicated staff.

Understanding The Features & Benefits:

Control Applications, Users and Devices

app-control-65Meraki is the only wireless LAN to include Layer 7 fingerprinting and application QoS. Identify hundreds of applications, from business apps to BitTorrent and YouTube. Prioritise critical apps like VoIP and limit or block wasteful bandwidth consumption such as P2P file sharing. Apply policies by device type, automatically assigning VLAN tags, traffic shaping rules, bandwidth limits and firewall policies to iPads and other device types. And user fingerprinting with Google-like search allows administrators to easily identify and control individual users, iPads, Androids and other devices.

Guest WiFi

M guest-65Meraki offers secure, easy to manage guest access out-of-the-box – without extra appliances, licenses, or complex VLAN configurations. Meraki's built-in firewall and DHCP server provide a complete guest WiFi solution, enabling secure, Internet-only access that protects your LAN and other clients from virus or information leaks. Meraki also provides cloud-hosted, customisable splash pages, bandwidth limits, on-the-fly guest logins and even content filtering, allowing you to customise your guest experience.

 

Enterprise Security

1aenterprise-securityMeraki provides complete out-of-the-box enterprise class security. Segment wireless users, applications, and devices; secure your network from attacks; and enforce the right policies for each class of users. Meraki's built-in stateful policy firewall, 802.1X/RADIUS support and native Active Directory integration deliver fine-grained access control, while Meraki's Guest Access Firewall provides secure, Internet-only guest WiFi in just one click. With built-in features like Network Access Control (NAC) and Air Marshal, a real-time scanning intrusion prevention system (WIPS), Meraki enables secure wireless environments without complex setup or systems integration. Meraki WLANs are fully HIPAA and PCI compliant.

High Capacity 802.11ac

80211ac

Cisco Meraki's 802.11ac & 802.11n APs provide high capacity wireless in dense, demanding environments. Custom-designed for cloud management, they are built with enhanced CPU and memory capabilities. Meraki APs deliver rich services including Layer 7 Application QoS and NAC at the network edge. Industry-leading 3-stream 802.11ac MIMO delivers radio rates of up to 1.75 Gbps, while cloud-based RF optimisation with real-time spectrum analysis ensures that Meraki APs are automatically tuned for highest performance.

Teleworker VPN

1M TeleworkMeraki's Teleworker VPN solution creates a secure IPsec tunnel from any Internet-connected Meraki wireless access point to your corporate network, providing secure remote access to IP PBX systems, file shares, and internal applications. Teleworker VPN is available on every Meraki 802.11n AP, at no extra cost. Remote APs connect securely and automatically to a Meraki MX Security Appliance or an easy-to-deploy VMWare-based virtual concentrator at HQ, while split-tunneling only routes internal traffic over the VPN, improving performance and saving bandwidth.

 

High Performance Mesh Routing

M High Per-65Mesh networking – the ability for APs not wired into the LAN to act as repeaters – is included in every Meraki AP. Mesh allows for two powerful use cases: extending coverage to hard to wire areas and providing a self-healing network that is resilient to cable and switch failures. Meraki pioneered high performance mesh routing, with behind-the-scene technologies such as multi-radio routing and per-flow analysis that makes Meraki's mesh faster and more reliable.

 

Device Management

M device-management-65Meraki includes powerful device management tools to control the clients on your network. Unify management and control of thousands of iOS, Android, Mac, and PC devices in Meraki's secure, browser-based dashboard. Systems Manager is intuitive and requires no training or dedicated staff. Systems Manager works on any vendor's network — even if the managed devices are on the road, at a café, or used at home.
