Designed to help resellers and IT solution providers leverage Meraki's unique

industries including apartment and condominium complexes, hotels and resorts,
educational institutions, municipalities and many more.
"Wireless networking is clearly the way that most people will be accessing
the internet in the coming years as internet-connected devices proliferate and
the demand for broadband access grows," said Sanjit Biswas, Meraki CEO.
"Meraki's easy to install and manage networks are in high demand in a range of
industries and our partner program can help resellers and IT solution
providers worldwide capitalize on this opportunity."
Benefits of the Meraki Partner Program include dedicated account

any size and its "software as a service" (SaaS) architecture simplifies
network management and reduces operational expenses.
"The combination of Meraki's reliability, feature set, ease of use and
highly economical pricing are a perfect fit for the needs of many of our
customers," said Al Brown, CEO of SmartWAVE Technologies. "Meraki's wireless
solutions have allowed us to compete favorably in a number of markets where we
previously had little or no success. Like a good partner, they fill a need of
our customers, and in doing so, fill a need of ours."
Meraki is a rapidly growing company that allows businesses and
organizations to deploy large scale networks quickly, easily, and at a
disruptively low total cost. Meraki's customers span 125 countries ranging
