The number of devices connecting to networks shows no sign of slowing down, and applications are consuming ever-increasing amounts of bandwidth. Administrators must deploy wireless networking that meets mission-critical standards and can deliver the performance needed to provide high-quality, reliable wireless services.
Cisco Meraki executes packet processing at the edge. Each wireless access point features a high performance CPU that enforces Layer 3-7 firewall policies, application QoS, Network Access Control (NAC), and more. Cisco Meraki networks leverage the power of distributed processing, allowing administrators to add capacity by simply deploying more devices, without concern for controller bottlenecks or choke points.
The Cisco Meraki MR34 sets the new standard in wireless. Designed specifically for high density and next generation deployments, it’s the world’s fastest cloud-managed wireless access point.
Using wider channel bandwidths, more efficient transmission technologies, and less crowded channels at 5 GHz help the MR34 achieve speeds up to 1.75 Gbps, while also providing administrators complete visibility and control.
Cisco Meraki offers the only solution that provides unified management of mobile devices, Macs, PCs, and the entire network from a centralized dashboard. Enforce device security policies, deploy software and apps, and perform remote, live troubleshooting on thousands of managed devices.
Cisco Meraki Systems Manager provides over-the-air centralized management, diagnostics, and monitoring for the mobile devices managed by your organization ? from iPads and Androids to Macs and PCs. Systems Manager monitors each of your organization’s devices, showing useful metrics such as client hardware/software information and recent location, and even lets administrators remotely lock and erase devices.

Today’s work is hybrid, and hybrid work empowers people to work from home, the office, and anywhere in between, safely and securely at any time.
When everyone and everything is connected, work is no longer a place we go, it’s what we do.
Connected THINGS (like IoT and OT) are vital in driving a hybrid work evolution forward in many sectors—including healthcare, education, and manufacturing.
By connecting things to people, and things to businesses, and connecting it all with data that’s coming from sensors and machines, we can create a multiplier effect on productivity that’s going to change the way we know the world. It provides more freedom and flexibility for users to work efficiently and effectively from anywhere, whether it’s remote monitoring of or performing remote surgeries on patients in healthcare or remotely monitoring and managing the operation of robotics and machines in manufacture.
As the world shifts into a new way of working, customers need access networking solutions that offer security, speed, and agility for users as well as for IoT devices. In 2022, Wi-Fi 6 products will represent 79% of all Wi-Fi product shipments. By 2023, there will be 29 billion IoT devices. In addition, by 2025, the Ethernet switching and wireless WAN Total Addressable Market (TAM) will grow to $18.4B and $2.7B, respectively. SaaS-delivered software will make up 58% of total software revenue by 2025. These trends point to new priorities for the network that include the need for greater wireless bandwidth, better support for IoT, and a more cloud-friendly access architecture.
To meet these priorities, organizations need a network that is scalable, reliable, and secure, so that IT can work smarter, not harder. Now more than ever, visibility, automation and assurance are critical for securing your data and applications. Cisco® Access Networking, switching, wireless, and Wi-Fi 6/6E solutions can help your customers deliver the best IT experience by automating services for faster workflows, enabling visibility from access to cloud for better troubleshooting, and providing policy-driven security for the campus network.
In order to achieve all those, we will become more dependent and reliant on the network than ever.

With the ability to handle the increased mobile traffic as well as support IoT at scale, Cisco’s first Wi-Fi 6 access points with superior RF innovations will expand wireless access with intelligence and provide a secure, reliable high-quality wireless experience for all networks. Cisco DNA Spaces IoT Services for the Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6 access points and Catalyst 9000 switches allow you to deploy IoT devices and activate partner apps for outcomes at a significantly lower TCO.
Unlock the power of your network and drive IoT outcomes at scale
Cisco DNA Spaces
Whether Cisco Catalyst or Meraki, all location data is able to by synthesized via Cisco DNA Spaces to deliver location-based services
The network has traditionally been used only for connectivity. Cisco DNA Spaces lets you take your existing network beyond connectivity and drive digitization for your physical spaces.
How? By synthesizing location data from access points, switches, Cisco Meraki® cameras, Webex® devices, and Wi-Fi and IoT devices to deliver location-based services at scale. This information can be used to drive workplace safety, space optimization, behavior analytics, contactless experiences, operational efficiency, and much more.
Cisco DNA Spaces, with gateway-enabled Catalyst 9000 family access points and switches, along with Catalyst 9800 Series wireless controllers, acts as middleware that supports multiple vendors, allowing customers to choose end devices suitable for their intended use cases. Customers can easily order these devices from the IoT Device Marketplace, onboard them, manage them, and make them work with partner applications from the App Center to realize industry-specific outcomes. These devices include not just Wi-Fi, but also BLE beacons and lighting and environment sensors. As a result, customers can deploy a large range of devices and use cases with greater scalability and lower TCO.
Cisco DNA Center
Pictured, the command center for Cisco DNA Center and the features provided
The command center for your wireless network needs to be as reliable and secure as the devices it controls. From management to automation to analytics to security, Cisco DNA Center runs your network, provisioning and configuring all of your network devices in minutes. No more making sure that each device is up-to-date with what you need it to do; Cisco DNA Center takes care of all that, automatically.
That automation occurs as a result of the Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) that Cisco DNA Center provides your network. It’s the next step in terms of increased performance, better efficiency and greater cost savings. This allows for considerable network improvements in visibility, troubleshooting and even cybersecurity. AI/ML literally turns data into intuition, resulting in time savings and greater efficiency.
But Cisco DNA Center does so much more.
Cisco DNA Center uses advanced analytics via Cisco DNA Assurance to proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the network. And by integrating it with third-party systems, you can improve your operational processes. It provides a 360-degree contextual view of user, network and applications that allows it to isolate an issue and tell IT where to focus. If a malady slips by, you can go back in time so you don’t have to wait for the problem to occur again and follow guided remediation to fix the issue.
For organizations that utilize a shared network, Cisco DNA Center makes it easier for IT staff to provide end-users their own partitioned piece of the network. Cisco User Defined Network allows end-users the ability to remotely and securely deploy their devices on the network via an easy-to-use app. From there they have the ability to control who can and can’t access their devices.
