Meter

Meter provides internet and network infrastructure for businesses, combining enterprise hardware, software, and operational services in a managed offering. The company describes its purpose as building better networks so organizations can get and stay online reliably, whether they have a dedicated network engineering team or a small IT function. Its services cover internet connectivity, wired networking, Wi-Fi, and cellular connectivity for commercial environments.

Meter designs and manufactures its own networking equipment. Its current product range includes F-Series firewalls, S-Series switches, A-Series access points, G-Series 5G gateways, and P-Series power distribution units. The company presents these products as part of a unified stack, with hardware and software developed together to support enterprise network performance, security, and reliability.

The software side includes the Meter Dashboard, which gives IT teams visibility into network status and control over network settings, and Meter Command, which can generate dashboards for specific workflows. Meter says its software supports network automation, security, configuration, and management across multiple sites. Customers can monitor locations centrally and manage networks designed to scale from individual offices to thousands of sites and large device populations.

Meter’s service extends beyond equipment and software. It can work with a customer’s existing internet service provider or help identify providers, and offers network design, ISP coordination, hardware provisioning, cabling and installation, configuration, testing, ongoing support, maintenance, and lifecycle upgrades. Meter describes its delivery model as software-led and available with its own team or partners. Its FAQ clarifies that Meter is not itself an internet service provider; it manages ISP relationships and network infrastructure for customers.

The company serves organizations operating offices, warehouses, schools, campuses, and other commercial spaces. Its published materials describe customers across industries including retail, logistics, manufacturing, education, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and technology. Meter’s integrated service is intended to help IT teams manage network infrastructure without separately coordinating every hardware, installation, support, and maintenance component. The company says its pricing is generally bundled into a recurring fee, with details depending on the customer’s space and service scope.

Meter says it began in 2015, initially developing hardware and software for its vertically integrated approach. Its company history recounts early work learning how to build networking hardware, followed by initial deployments beginning in 2019. The company’s stated longer-term ambition is to make business internet and Wi-Fi function like a dependable utility. It is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and has publicly identified the Mission District as the location of its headquarters.

Meter’s stated belief is that organizations should be able to connect and remain online seamlessly, and that the teams responsible for hardware and software should be accountable for the resulting network experience. Its public materials emphasize reliability, security, scalability, network engineering, and ongoing customer support. The company also works with external installation and services partners, enabling its network deployments to be delivered across a broad range of customer locations.
