We’re excited to announce that Blue Cap IT is now an official Meter Partner — adding full-stack enterprise networking to our portfolio of IT and security solutions.
The Networking Problem for SMBs
Let’s be honest: networking has always been one of the most painful parts of IT. Buying switches, access points, and firewalls from multiple vendors. Hiring specialists to configure and maintain them. Negotiating with ISPs. Dealing with firmware updates, end-of-life hardware, and capacity planning.
For small and mid-sized businesses, the result is usually one of two things: an expensive, over-engineered setup that requires constant attention, or an underpowered patchwork that causes constant headaches.
Meter changes all of that.
What Is Meter?
Meter is a Network as a Service (NaaS) company that designs and manufactures its own networking hardware — switches, access points, firewalls, and 5G gateways — and delivers it as a fully managed service. No upfront hardware costs. No multi-vendor complexity. No DIY configuration.
Here’s what makes Meter different from traditional networking vendors:
- Meter owns the hardware. You pay a simple monthly subscription based on your square footage. No capital expenditure, no depreciation, no end-of-life surprises.
- Everything is designed in-house. Switches, access points, firewalls, and gateways are all built by Meter to work together seamlessly.
- Full-service delivery. Meter handles network design, professional installation, ISP negotiations, and ongoing management.
- AI-powered management. Meter Command uses generative AI to build custom dashboards, troubleshoot issues, and manage your network using natural language.
