    Building a simpler, better performing network with Cisco Meraki

    Leading telecommunications company BT Group serves customers in more than 180 countries and is both a Cisco customer and a partner. When the company needed to simplify and unify remote network management for its Global Services division across 18 sites in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, it chose Cisco Meraki and Meraki MX security appliances to standardize, secure, and power performance across its Wi-Fi environment.
