The cloud-based PoE Meraki Go switch is specially designed for small business owners. Thanks to the use of cloud we can create a complete network solution managed with an app, moreover, the interface is so simple and readable that we can do everything ourselves without the help of an IT specialist, and we can start working with the device in 5 minutes, without any necessary technical knowledge. From the application we can go through every stage of connecting and configuring the network, e.g. testing cables or increasing security by disabling unused ports. In addition, the hardware will automatically update to the latest software, so we don't have to worry about having the latest software on our device. To sum up, such a solution is definitely practical for companies that do not want to pay more attention to building a network segment.
