Cumulus Global Changes the Managed Network Model for SMBs
New Partnership Lowers Small Businesses Costs for Enterprise-Grade Local Area Networks
Westborough, MA, January 22, 2026 – Cumulus Global proudly announces its new strategic partnership with Meter to bring affordable enterprise-grade local area network (LAN) solutions to small and midsize businesses and local governments. Partnering with Meter, Cumulus Global brings a new model for Internet, wired, WiFi, and cellular networks. A single, simple monthly fee replaces multiple vendors and separate costs for design, installation, hardware, software, support, and upgrades.
“We are excited to bring this solution to our clients and other small and midsize enterprises,” stated Cumulus Global CEO Allen Falcon. “With Meter, we can offer best-in-class networking infrastructure with a solution focused on performance and security rather than on how many devices the client needs installed.”
Meter offers a unique approach to networking that prioritizes performance and reliability over minimizing hardware and recurring costs. Clients pay a single, predictable monthly fee that covers analysis and design, networking equipment, service plans, and ongoing management and support. Pricing is based on the size of the space, measured in square feet, instead of on a per-device basis. This approach ensures clients receive the network they need and can adjust it as requirements change, all for a predictable cost.
“Meter is a premium networking solution that includes local area, WiFi, and in-building cellular networking,” noted Falcon. “Organizations with multiple locations, lean or outsourced IT teams, and cost-conscious growth plans are ideal candidates for Meter’s technology, solutions, and pricing model.”
Beyond delivering a technologically advanced network, Meter’s service and pricing model allows businesses to manage networking costs as either an operating expense or a capital expenditure.
