3 big announcements

Published August 13, 2010 6 responses

This week, we made 3 big announcements: Meraki Traffic Shaper, Spectrum Analysis, and 3 new free cloud-based WiFi tools.

Meraki Traffic Shaper is the first cloud-based application traffic shaper, and the first intelligent traffic shaper to be built directly into a wireless solution. Our engineers have been working very hard on this for quite some time, and we’re very excited to share it with you! Meraki Traffic Shaper is in beta today, and will be generally available September 30. You can read more here.

We also announced the addition of spectrum analysis to Meraki Auto RF, our cloud-based network optimization system. Now so you can see non-WiFi interference sources (think microwave ovens, Bluetooth headsets) and the system can correct for them. We aren’t the first to add spectrum analysis, but we’re very happy that we were able to make our implementation is compatible with all of our existing 802.11n APs, without a hardware upgrade. Spectrum Analysis will be available to all Meraki Enterprise customers September 30th.

Last but not least, we’ve announced three new tools to help optimize and troubleshoot wireless networks: Android Stumbler, a mobile version of our popular WiFi Stumbler, WiFi Mapper, a web-based wireless mapping tool, and Client Insight, and a wireless client troubleshooting system. Android Stumbler and Meraki WiFi Mapper are all available today at meraki.com/tools, while Client Insight will be generally available in October.

We’ll be writing in-depth posts about these features over the next several weeks. Stay tuned!

    Hi Gonzague, try searching for “meraki” in the Android market. The app should come up. You can also click on http://tools.meraki.com/stumbler from your Android device and it will take you directly to the app. Try that out and let me know if you’re still encountering issues. Thanks for the heads up!

    I did that before (yesterday) and it gave me the not found error

    Have you changed anything in the meantime? If yes i’ll try again :)

    Gonzague, sounds like you are experiencing some unique issues that we’ll have to explore in more detail, since it’s working fine for us. I’ll email you so we can take this conversation offline.
