How Meter works

Meter provides end-to-end services. From ISP procurement and network design to cabling, hardware installation, and management of your network.

How it works
1

ISP procurement & installation

Meter can work with your existing ISP or find the best providers to meet your bandwidth needs.

We’ll negotiate rates on your behalf and handle all ISP customer support for a smooth installation. We are ISP agnostic and partner with every local ISP.

Hardware provisioning

We design and build all of our own hardware, giving us complete control over the device firmware, software, and delivery times.

If you already own networking hardware, we’ll buy it back from you and make sure it doesn’t go to waste.

Custom network design

We understand that no two spaces are the same. Our experts design your network unique to your needs ensuring every inch of your space has coverage.

Hardware & cabling installation

Meter can install a network in any commercial space. Full IT closet/server room buildout (with redundant ISP connections and an uninterruptible power supply), low-voltage cabling, and as many access points as necessary. If you move or expand into a new space, Meter will grow with you.

Configuration & testing

Once Meter’s hardware is installed, we will set up your network and validate it same-day. For a network cut-over, your old equipment will be left in-place until this step is completed.

Network management

Meter networks are automated, software managed, and don’t require manual configuration. If an access point goes out, the system is immediately alerted to increase the strength of a neighboring access point.

Ongoing support & maintenance

Meter supports customers with 24/7 operations. Think of us as your internal team of networking engineers.

Automated network health monitoring alerts and notifies the entire support team if a network goes offline, regardless of the time of day.

Meter controllers have backup LTE antennas, so if ISP circuits go down, we can still troubleshoot.

Software updates are pushed during off-hours, and hardware upgrades are included in your subscription.

Built for the best IT and networking teams

“Meter is our expert partner in all things networking. As we moved into peak season we needed to feel comfortable that if our first line of internet went down that we would have a second, if our second line of internet went down, we had a third. All that really just revolves around our customer obsession. Meter's done a great job at helping us do that.”

Codi Handley
Director of Security and IT

“Prior to Meter, we were using 5 different providers to handle our network. This was our cloud-based networking vendor, resellers, and third parties to support the network and applications. And we were able to consolidate all of this into just using Meter.”

Evan Jackson
Director of Technology

“Meter knew exactly what to do to light up an office, to work with a construction team, to follow along with the team that was actually building out the office, and really made the IT team, and the workplace team very happy throughout that construction process.”

Matt Thorne
Head of IT & Business Systems

“Even if I hired two network engineers, working with Meter was faster and more efficient. They provided end-to-end implementation, which included suggesting the ISPs, negotiating rates, and project managing the entire network installation process.”

Prema Nagarajan
IT Director

“Without Meter, we’d hire more dedicated IT resources to maintain and upgrade our connectivity. With the current economic environment, I don't want to hire more people. I want more people working on our robots, not the infrastructure.”
