### Simple and secure IoT using your existing Cisco network

We supply a full range of wireless IoT hardware and sensors, including all the necessary embedded software and firmware, needed to be used to build an IoT network that seamlessly and securely integrates with your existing Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Access Points all the way up to the Cloud.

**Pain eliminated:** No need to select, install and maintain yet another wireless network and set of gateways just for IoT.

### Easy, fast, simple installation

We’ve already done the technical heavy lifting so you don’t have to. You just tell us what you want to measure, track, or monitor automatically and we’ll deliver the IoT assets required to produce the IoT data you need. It’s as simple as that.

**Pain eliminated:** No need to become an expert in a non-core competence of battery-powered, wireless IoT hardware and sensors.

### How it works

Meshtech’s Cisco Partner solution is based on the Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Access Point. With the addition of a Meshtech Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) dongle and Meshtech’s Docker Software, the Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Access Point becomes a fully-functional IoT gateway and eliminates the need to install additional hardware.

The Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Access Points works as a gateway for a wireless low power network comprising Meshtechs sensor nodes communicates using the BLE protocol formed with Meshtech’s AirMesh software. The gateway which in turn sends data to a Server Cloud using MQTT. The end-user controls the system via an API using their own secure front-end system.

### Limited up-front costs

We offer our solution with a flexible business model based on an upfront or rental model at your preference. And because we re-use your existing Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series Access Points, we keep costs lower.

**Pain eliminated:** This means you can start small and affordable, and scale later when you know it works = easier internal budget approvals.
