Our Cisco Meraki solutions

A complete range of cloud-managed networking products — from wireless access points and switches to security appliances and smart cameras — all managed through a single intuitive dashboard.

Wireless Access Points (MR)

Enterprise-grade cloud-managed Wi-Fi access points delivering fast, reliable wireless connectivity across your entire organisation — with built-in analytics, location tracking and seamless roaming between floors and buildings.

Network Switches (MS)

Cloud-managed switches with zero-touch provisioning, remote troubleshooting and automatic firmware updates — eliminating the complexity of traditional network switch management and reducing on-site engineer visits.

Security Appliances (MX)

Unified threat management with next-generation firewall, content filtering, intrusion prevention and auto-VPN — all cloud-managed with automatic security updates and zero-touch deployment across multiple sites.

Smart Cameras (MV)

Cloud-managed security cameras with on-device storage, intelligent video analytics and motion-based retention — no NVR or additional server hardware required. Monitor your premises from anywhere through the Meraki dashboard.

Environmental Sensors (MT)

IoT sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, water leaks and door open/close events — providing real-time environmental data and automated alerts through the same centralised cloud dashboard you already use.

SD-WAN

Software-defined wide area networking that optimises application performance across distributed offices, reduces WAN costs and provides centralised control — with built-in failover, traffic shaping and intelligent path selection.

Removals and storage companies coordinate mobile crews, manage bookings, and oversee storage facilities across multiple locations. Reliable connectivity between depots, offices, and mobile teams is essential for efficient operations.

Cloudswitched provides reliable cloud networking for UK removals and storage businesses. We connect your offices and depots with SD-WAN, ensure booking and fleet systems run smoothly, and support mobile crew connectivity.

What is cloud-managed networking?

Understanding why removals businesses are replacing traditional networking equipment with Cisco Meraki cloud-managed solutions.

The end of complex network management

Traditional business networking requires individual configuration of every switch, firewall and access point — often through command-line interfaces that require specialist networking knowledge. Updates, security patches and policy changes must be applied device by device. Troubleshooting requires physical access or complex remote management tools. For removals businesses without dedicated network engineers, this creates a constant operational burden.

Cisco Meraki cloud-managed networking eliminates this complexity entirely. Every Meraki device — access points, switches, firewalls and security cameras — is managed through a single, intuitive cloud dashboard. Configuration changes are pushed across your entire network in seconds. Firmware updates happen automatically. Network health, client devices and security threats are visible in real time from anywhere in the world.

Why Cisco Meraki?

Cisco Meraki is trusted by hundreds of thousands of organisations worldwide — from small businesses to enterprise. The Meraki platform includes MR wireless access points for high-density Wi-Fi, MS switches for wired network infrastructure, MX security appliances for firewall, VPN and SD-WAN functionality, and MV smart cameras for physical security. All managed from one dashboard, with one licensing model.

For multi-site removals businesses, Meraki is transformative. You can manage the networks of every office, warehouse or retail location from a single pane of glass. SD-WAN capabilities enable automatic failover between internet connections, intelligent traffic routing and site-to-site VPN — without the complexity and cost of traditional WAN infrastructure.

How our Cisco Meraki migration works

A structured approach to migrating your removals business network to Cisco Meraki cloud-managed infrastructure.

What's included in our Cisco Meraki service

Network Assessment

A comprehensive review of your existing network infrastructure — every switch, access point, firewall, VLAN, subnet and wireless configuration is documented and analysed. We identify performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, single points of failure and end-of-life equipment. We benchmark your current network against industry best practices and Cisco Meraki capabilities, producing a detailed report that highlights exactly what needs to change, what can be improved and what the migration will deliver for your business.

Solution Design

Based on the assessment, we design a complete Cisco Meraki network architecture tailored to your business requirements. This includes access point placement, switch topology, firewall rules, VLAN segmentation, wireless SSID design, VPN connectivity and Quality of Service policies. Every design decision is documented and explained. We work with your team to ensure the proposed architecture meets both current operational needs and future growth plans — so your new network scales effortlessly as your business expands.

Hardware Procurement

We source all Cisco Meraki hardware and licensing at competitive prices with full transparency on costs. Access points, switches, security appliances, cameras, sensors — every component is specified to match your exact requirements with no over-provisioning or unnecessary upgrades. All licensing options are explained clearly so you understand exactly what you're paying for and what each licence tier includes. We handle the entire procurement process, from quoting through to delivery and asset tracking, ensuring everything arrives configured and ready for deployment.

Migration Planning

We create a detailed migration plan with phased cutover schedules, rollback procedures and communication protocols. Every step is sequenced to minimise disruption — with most migrations completed outside business hours or during planned maintenance windows. The plan includes device-by-device migration sequences, IP addressing schemes, DNS and DHCP transition steps, and pre-configured Meraki dashboard templates. Your team receives advance notice of every change, and we maintain constant communication throughout the process.

Deployment & Installation

Our Cisco-certified engineers handle the physical installation and configuration of all Meraki hardware. Access points are mounted, switches racked, security appliances installed and every cable terminated and labelled to professional standards. Each device is registered to your Meraki dashboard, configured with the correct policies and tested thoroughly before going live. We verify connectivity, throughput, failover behaviour and security policies at every stage — ensuring your new network works perfectly from the moment it goes live.

Security Configuration

Comprehensive security setup across your entire Meraki deployment — next-generation firewall rules, content filtering policies, intrusion detection and prevention, malware protection, geo-IP blocking and advanced threat analytics. Every layer of your network is hardened against modern threats. We also configure site-to-site VPN tunnels, client VPN access for remote workers, 802.1X authentication for wired and wireless networks, and guest Wi-Fi isolation. Your network security posture is documented and reviewed with your team to ensure full understanding and compliance.

Staff Training

Hands-on training sessions for your IT team covering the Meraki dashboard, network monitoring, troubleshooting common issues, managing wireless clients, updating firewall rules and generating reports. We ensure your team is confident and self-sufficient with the new platform. Training is tailored to your team's technical level — from basic dashboard navigation for non-technical staff to advanced configuration and API integration for experienced engineers. We provide documentation, quick-reference guides and ongoing access to our support team for follow-up questions.

Ongoing Management

Proactive monitoring, firmware management, security policy updates, performance optimisation and capacity planning. We keep your Meraki network running at peak performance with regular health checks, automated alerting and rapid incident response. Monthly reports cover network health, bandwidth utilisation, client counts, security events and recommendations for improvement. Quarterly reviews ensure your network continues to meet evolving business requirements — and we handle all Meraki licence renewals and hardware warranty management on your behalf.
