What is Cisco Meraki MT?

Cisco Meraki MT environmental sensors provide environmental data-driven insights, and are used prevent unplanned network downtime with remote visibility and real-time alerts.

The Meraki MT sensor family intelligently monitors indoor environments to help organizations build sustainably. Meraki MT sensors help IT, facilities, and operations teams to minimize business disruptions, reduce unnecessary costs, maximize resources, and improve employee/customer experiences.

Environmental monitoring is more than just collecting sensor data. The real value comes from using data to proactively address issues before they begin or maximize resources to increase efficiency. For example, a leak in a water pipe above the data center, unusual power anomalies in connected devices, or high levels of CO2 in a classroom can all be monitored and acted upon before equipment fails or people suffer. The MT sensor product family is designed to provide this rich contextual insight to help organizations prepare for unseen challenges.

The Meraki dashboard automatically creates sensor-specific visualizations to help monitor environments, understand trends, and detect anomalies. The visualizations show sensor data spanning the last two hours, last day, last week, last 30 days, or a custom range during the previous year. Sensor status information can also be overlaid on top of a map and floor plan view to quickly identify areas of concern. Data can be exported directly from the dashboard in the form of .xls or .csv for offline analysis or record keeping. The Meraki dashboard also has a separate reports feature that automatically compares sensor data from week to week, highlighting statistics and alert trends from the most active sensors.

MT sensors automatically connect wirelessly via Bluetooth® Low Energy to MR access points or MV smart cameras in the same network, which act as the gateway to the Meraki dashboard. The simplified architecture and centralized cloud management make it easy to provision thousands of sensors in a short amount of time.

Additional use cases might include detecting water from failed HVAC systems, adverse weather, or leaky pipes to prevent network downtime and equipment failure. The sensors can monitor refrigerated environments to proactively identify equipment issues and prevent the loss of perishable goods, or monitor door access to detect intrusions, understand usage trends, and prevent business disruptions. Proactive monitoring of spaces, infrastructure, and indoor air quality combined with real-time alerts can help organizations identify and resolve potential issues before they become problems.
