Meraki Announces Lifetime Warranty On Enterprise Access Points

SAN FRANCISCO — December 17, 2009 – Meraki, the cloud-based wireless networking company, today announced that it will offer a lifetime warranty for all Meraki indoor Enterprise wireless local area network (LAN) access points.

Available immediately, the new lifetime warranty for Meraki’s indoor Enterprise access points covers the new high performance single radio MR11 and the dual radio MR14 802.11n access point, Meraki’s most popular model.  Launched in May 2009, Meraki’s new product line was a breakthrough in cloud-based wireless networking, and enables Meraki to offer premium-featured Wireless LANs with unprecedented ease of use, and at less than half the cost of traditional solutions.

“We are committed to our growing customer base and have been encouraged by the rapid uptake of our Enterprise product line,” said Hans Robertson, VP Product Management and Co-Founder of Meraki.  “Our business customers have told us they need a longer warranty period, and we listened.  We know that our access points are so reliable that only a miniscule percentage will require replacement.”

The new policy will be applied retroactively to all Meraki units purchased before today’s announcement and all future units shipped.  Advance hardware replacement is included at no additional cost.  Meraki is the only business-class wireless company to offer this service at no additional charge.
