Where do the Meraki MS130 Switches fit in?
The latest Cisco Meraki Switches are ideal for organisations that are looking to futureproof their network in the below areas.
Meeting Escalating Network Demands:
As applications such as 4K/8K video streaming, virtual reality, and cloud computing increasingly demand higher bandwidth, having switches capable of efficiently routing traffic at speeds greater than 1Gbps is vital for sustaining peak network performance.
Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 Compatibility
With the transition to new wireless standards like Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and 7, traditional switches with only 1Gbps ports become bottlenecks. The MS130 Series supports Multi-Gigabit ports, ensuring seamless integration with the latest wireless access points.
Leveraging existing cabling
The beauty of the MS130 Series is that organisations can harness their existing CAT6 or higher-grade cabling without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades, ensuring increased network throughput without exceeding budget constraints.
