We built this city on Meraki
Connections for central and local government.
Connect your community
Connecting your community starts with the underlying network. Cisco Meraki enables central and local governments to implement smart initiatives that positively impact communities’ quality of life, security and the local economy with simple IT. With a reliable and secure network, you spend more time on strategic government initiatives and less time on day-to-day maintenance.
Simplify network management
- Configure, troubleshoot and update all Meraki devices remotely.
- Reduce duplicate vendor, application and service costs by streamlining network management.
- Complete network visibility; spend less time on daily configurations and management.
- Manage the entire network through a single interface.
Built for lean government IT teams
- Free IT staff from the hassle of on-site management with no hardware controllers.
- Deploy an entire network in days by pre-configuring devices before they arrive.
- Manage all network infrastructure from one place.
- No specialised training or command-line required; non-technical staff can set up and manage the network.
Eurobodalla Shire Council
‘The time in deploying was very minimal apart from the physical work of swapping out the switches. The configuration component was very easy to manage, especially with the VLANs. It was like plug and play.’
— Craig Sykes, the Technology and Information Manager
