Bottom line

Meter is the cleanest way to hand your entire network off as a subscription: hardware, install, connectivity, monitoring, and refresh roll into one per-square-foot bill with no CapEx, plus a hardware buyback to ease the switch. The trade-off to weigh is control and security scope. You get less engineer-level tuning than a self-managed platform, and advanced security such as next-gen firewall and ZTNA typically lives in separate tools that sit alongside Meter.

Overview

What Meter is, and how it's delivered.

Meter is a network-as-a-service provider that owns the entire networking stack on your behalf. Rather than buying switches and access points and managing them in-house, you pay a single monthly subscription based on your square footage, and Meter handles hardware, installation, monitoring, upgrades, and support end to end.

The model is designed around predictability and simplicity. Where traditional networking spreads cost across hardware vendors, licenses, installation contractors, and support agreements, Meter consolidates everything into one bill that scales with your space, and the per-square-foot rate decreases as you grow.
