MJC Becomes A Meraki Gold Partner

 – MJC http://www.mjcgroup.co.uk/

 have long been known as specialist suppliers of technology to the Education Industry and now offer the latest wireless technologies for ease of use, performance, and affordability. Meraki Solutions offer top of the Line 802.11n access points with enterprise-class chipsets, hardware-accelerated encryption, and Priority Voice QoS, resulting in Ethernet speed without the wires. "We are excited to partner with MJC to bring Cloud Networking to the Education Sector," said Adam Davidson, Meraki's Director of Sales for EMEA.

Each access point is constantly monitored and optimised from the cloud, so the network automatically adapts to changing interference conditions. Multi-radio, multi-channel mesh routing and automatic mesh failover offer fault tolerance, and provide fast coverage in hard-to-wire areas.

MJC's Product Manager Nigel Ward explains how their new Meraki wireless solutions http://www.mjcgroup.co.uk/meraki-wireless are easy to deploy and manage - "When you plug in a Meraki access point, it automatically connects to the Cloud Controller over the web, downloads its configuration, and joins your network." He adds "As a result, Meraki deployments take hours - not days or weeks. Automatic cloud-based optimisation and monitoring, and intelligent, self-healing APs keep the network fast, reliable, and hassle free."

In addition because this wireless solution is centrally managed over the web, you can configure, manage, and monitor APs anywhere in the world, right from your browser. Built-in multi-site support lets you painlessly manage branch locations over the web. Even if you have a large campus, or lots of branches to cover, MJC's Meraki Solutions have highly scalable central management architecture, whereby it is as easy to configure 10,000 APs as it is to configure 10. Powerful tools provide deep visibility into all corners of your network, and real-time monitoring and alerts keep constant watch over your entire network.

Meraki networks are easy to use, yet fully featured for enterprises, with capabilities like RADIUS integration and intrusion detection. Even advanced functionality like policy firewalls and guest management are easy to configure with intuitive web-based management.

Meraki is the first application-aware wireless LAN. Each AP includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling you to set QoS policies based on traffic type. Easily prioritise your mission critical applications, while setting limits on recreational traffic, e.g. peer-to-peer, music, and video streaming.

In addition, traditional controllers are often the most costly component of a wireless network - even before factoring in maintenance, support, and the value of your time. Meraki's hosted controller architecture eliminates the cost and complexity of on-site controllers, providing highly-available, scalable centralised management at a fraction of the cost.
