Network restructuring with Cisco Meraki at Lipor

  • Lipor
  • Cloud-Managed Cisco Meraki Network

Cisco Meraki infrastructure with centralised management, visibility and high performance, implemented by ORBCOM.

About this case study

LIPOR operates 11 buildings connected by fibre optic (except LIPOR 2) with an IT team of three people. It was essential to simplify administration, ensure performance and scale quickly.
Orbcom designed and implemented a Cisco Meraki solution that centralises management, speeds up configuration and ensures high network reliability.

Solution scope

  • Cisco Meraki switching and wireless
  • Unified management in the Meraki Dashboard
  • Provisioning and configuration templates
  • Traffic and device monitoring
  • Alerts and reporting
  • Fast rollout of APs/switches
  • Remote operations and troubleshooting

Challenge: simplify operations and guarantee performance

With multiple buildings and critical services, LIPOR needed to configure and monitor the network in an agile way, with real-time visibility and the ability to grow in complexitywhile maintaining service reliability.

Rapid provisioning

Add and configure switches/Wi-Fi in minutes with templates and automation.

Centralised multi-site management

Apply policies and changes across all 11 buildings from the Meraki Dashboard.

Real-time visibility and alerts

View device status and traffic, connectivity and users, with automated alerts.

Solution: a unified network with Cisco Meraki

Orbcom deployed Cisco Meraki switching and wireless across all sites, connecting everything to the Meraki Dashboard for centralised, cloud-based management.
The team can now add and provision any switch or access point quickly,roll out configuration changes at scale, and remotely monitor device activity and network performance — with consistent reliability and a far simpler day-to-day operation.

In addition, the solution enables secure remote operations,consistent policies across sites, and continuous evolution of the network without service disruption.

Benefits: more organised and productive teams

  • Consistent network performance, even in high-usage areas
  • Faster rollout of new switches/APs with templates and automation
  • Centralised control and standardised policies across sites
  • Increased visibility over devices, users and traffic, with proactive alerts
  • Easier scalability when adding new locations or expanding the network
