Meraki Z1 Z1-HW-US Data Sheet

Features

Leveraging Meraki’s cloud architecture, VPN tunnels to HQ or the 
data center can be enabled via a single click without any command-
line configurations or multi-step key permission setups. Meraki’s 
patent-pending Auto VPN technology automatically tunnels, hole 
punches, sets up route tables, and establishes the IPsec connections, 
completely eliminating the complexity seen in traditional site-to-site 
VPN solutions. 

The Z1 features two powerful radios and advanced RF design. 
Combined with 802.11n technologies including 2x2 MIMO-enhanced 
receive sensitivity and transmit beamforming, the Z1 delivers up to 
600 Mbps data rate. The Z1 is purpose-built for accessing rich, cloud-
based business applications while providing plenty of bandwidth for 
recreational traffic.

The Z1 includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, 
and control engine, enabling you to set QoS policies based on traffic 
type. Prioritize your mission critical applications like VoIP or remote 
desktop, while setting limits on recreational traffic, e.g., peer-to-peer 
and video streaming.

When plugged in, the Z1 automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, 
downloads its configuration, and joins your network. In case of WAN 
IP address changes, the Z1 self heals by re-establishing the site-to-
site VPN tunnels using the new IP address.

Meraki’s award-winning cloud management architecture unifies WAN, 
LAN, and wireless management under a web based dashboard, and 
scales easily from small deployments to large, multi-site deployments 
with tens of thousands of devices. The Meraki dashboard provides 
intuitive yet powerful role-based administration, firmware updates, 
configuration changes, email alerts, and easy to audit change logs.
