Meter is an enterprise network infrastructure company that delivers full-stack internet, wired, Wi-Fi, and cellular networking for businesses and institutions. Founded in 2015, Meter built its own hardware, software, and operating model so customers can deploy and run networking as a single service rather than assemble multiple vendors.
Its offering combines network design, installation, ISP coordination, monitoring, support, and recurring upgrades under a predictable subscription model. Meter is positioned for organizations that need reliable, secure connectivity across physical spaces such as offices, warehouses, schools, retail locations, branches, campuses, and other distributed environments.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Meter combines managed internet access, routing, switching, wireless, firewalling, DNS security, VPN, SD-WAN, and cellular coverage in one integrated operating model. It also takes responsibility for deployment work such as site surveys, cabling coordination, server room buildout, provisioning, rollout management, and ongoing support, giving customers one provider across the network lifecycle.
Its software layer is built for centralized control and observability, with capabilities for multi-site management, policy enforcement, network virtualization, digital twin workflows, automated alerting, failover, and remote troubleshooting down to the device and client level. Meter also extends its platform through marketplace procurement and partner-powered capabilities, including Microsoft Azure Marketplace availability and Cloudflare-powered DNS security.

Target Customers
Meter targets organizations that depend on always-on connectivity in physical spaces and want to simplify how networks are bought, deployed, and operated. Its fit is especially strong for multi-site businesses, distributed enterprises, and teams that need consistent networking standards across branches, campuses, offices, warehouses, schools, and retail environments.
The company also appeals to lean IT teams, cloud-first organizations, and fast-growing businesses that do not want to manage separate hardware vendors, software licenses, ISP relationships, and support providers. Environments with dense device populations, IoT equipment, guest access requirements, point-of-sale traffic, or challenging indoor cellular coverage are a natural fit for Meter’s model.
