Cisco Meraki Z1

Cisco Meraki Z1

The Cisco Meraki Z1 is an enterprise class firewall / VPN gateway with five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a dual-radio 802.11n wireless. The Z1 extends the power of the Meraki cloud managed networking to employees, IT staff, and executives working from home.

Using the patent-pending Meraki Auto VPN, administrators can deploy network services including VoIP and remote desktop (RDP) to remote employees with a single-click, provide wired and wireless access, and increase end-user productivity through Layer 7 traffic shaping.

The Z1 features a fully-fledged stateful firewall, support for multiple VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, and isolation to segregate corporate data from recreational traffic. In addition, the Z1 is packed with advanced 802.11n technologies including MIMO, beam forming, and channel bonding to provide reliable and high speed network access for most demanding business applications.
