Meter Lumen partnership

Meter and Lumen are partnering to deliver the industry’s first Wide Area Network (WAN) and a Local Area Network (LAN) solution built for the enterprise. The Lumen × Meter offering combines Lumen’s high-performance WAN with Meter’s intelligent LAN platform to provide seamless, connectivity that helps businesses connect, scale, and manage their networks from edge to cloud more easily.

Through a single procurement flow in Meter Connect, enterprise customers can now purchase the integrated WAN-to-LAN solution designed for faster deployment, unified visibility, and lower total cost of ownership. It will soon be available in the Microsoft Marketplace, providing a streamlined path to purchase that applies directly to existing Azure commitments and incentives, bringing additional value for Azure customers.

“We started Meter to build a different kind of networking company—one that’s seamless, integrated, and built to scale. Our partnership with Lumen unifies WAN and LAN into a single experience and extends our vision to simplify how enterprises connect. Together, we’re removing friction and enabling IT teams to focus on outcomes, not infrastructure.”

A new level of simplicity and visibility

The joint solution is an example of Lumen’s Connected Ecosystem, a major driver of commercial expansion for smarter, faster solutions across cloud, data center and infrastructure services. The Connected Ecosystem seamlessly interconnects customers, partners and platforms.

Under the new offering, customers gain access to integrated enterprise connectivity, unified visibility, and simplified operations.

Fast deployments: Accelerated site activation compared to traditional provisioning workflows.
Unified visibility: WAN and LAN performance data in a single pane of glass through the Meter Dashboard, including circuit health and installation metrics from Lumen.
Streamlined procurement: A simplified workflow for seamless, scalable enterprise connectivity.

Across our shared customers like Bridgewater and Brex, the benefits are clear: faster go-live timelines, end-to-end visibility, and a seamless experience that makes buying and managing enterprise connectivity as simple as ordering any business service online.

Built for enterprise outcomes

The partnership is designed to help organizations reduce deployment friction, gain real-time insights, and optimize network performance across complex, distributed environments.

Lumen and Meter are also developing deeper integrations that will bring WAN insights and automation directly into Meter Command, offering natural language control and end-to-end visibility across the entire enterprise network stack. Lumen’s APIs and Lumen Connect digital platform will make these capabilities even more scalable in the future, enabling customers to easily design, purchase, and manage Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) through a flexible, consumption-based model.

Now available wherever enterprises buy and build their networks
