About
Meter was born from a vision to revolutionize internet infrastructure for businesses, a journey that began in 2015. Founded by brothers Anil and Sunil Varanasi, who are network engineers themselves, the company emerged from a desire to see innovation and high-quality products return to the networking space. They felt the industry had become stagnant and envisioned a world where accessing enterprise-grade networks would be as straightforward as turning on a utility like water or electricity. This core belief fueled their ambition to build a company that wouldn't just sell hardware or software, but would deliver a comprehensive, vertically integrated solution encompassing hardware, software, and operations. Headquartered in San Francisco, Meter set out to tackle the complexities that businesses traditionally faced in setting up and managing their networks. Their approach was to build everything from the ground up, creating their own hardware and a sophisticated software layer to manage it. This full-stack control allows Meter to offer a seamless and reliable networking experience, from ISP procurement and network design to installation, ongoing management, and security. The company's mission is to provide networks that are not only faster and more secure but also more accessible to organizations of all sizes, across various sectors including offices, life sciences labs, schools, retail, warehouses, and manufacturing. Meter's long-term goal is to evolve its infrastructure into a turnkey utility, fundamentally changing how businesses interact with and rely on their internet connectivity. They aim to be the last networking company their customers will ever need, by continuously innovating and ensuring their incentives are aligned with providing exceptional and reliable service.
