Retail stores are where retailers interact with customers.

There’s many firewalls out there to pick from – and they tend to be expensive and complex to configure. Meraki has managed to make a security appliance that both offers simplicity of management and is highly secure – in this blog, we’ll take a look at the Meraki MX appliance.

Software Defined Access - or SDA for short - is the technology used for automated network deployment, configuration and maintenance. The best way to find out if it works? Deploy it in your lab - and that's exactly what we did!

For a while now Cisco has had both the Meraki and Cisco product sets. While these both have a part to play in the market and in meeting customer requirements, the strategy from Cisco is really to combine these two technologies. In this blog, we’ll take a look at how Cisco is combing the best from their Meraki and Cisco product sets.

In this blog, we’re going to cover a couple of topics – we’ll start with a look at how you get the most from the Meraki equipment you have deployed and take a look over the new features that Meraki has added to the dashboard – let’s get started!

The Cisco 9104 AP is designed for a particular use case – generally that’s stadiums. The AP has a high-gain antenna with built in AP. There are some features we’ve not seen before on a Cisco AP – dynamically configurable antennas, with the advantage of a third radio.

The Cisco 9800 WLC comes in a range of options, from the high throughout 9800-80 down to the cloud based virtual WLCs. The controller has a number of built in features that help increase the uptime of the controller – something you’d expect with a high-end wireless controller from Cisco.
