Connecting your community starts with the underlying network. Cisco Meraki enables state 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.

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 specialized training or command-line required; non-technical staff can set up and manage the network.
