Case Study: Rovio achieves rapid, scalable, high-performance Wi‑Fi deployment with Cisco Meraki

Enabling advanced wireless service for growing company’s new sites in minutes

Rovio Entertainment, the creator of Angry Birds with about 700 employees and an IT team of five, needed a reliable, easy‑to‑manage wireless network because employees and development workflows depend heavily on Wi‑Fi. The company replaced a patchwork of vendors with a cloud‑based Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN solution, testing and selecting Meraki MR34 802.11ac access points to gain better performance, unified management, and visibility.

Cisco Meraki deployed 802.11ac APs and Systems Manager across 17 office floors in four countries, delivering measurable benefits: 3x faster wireless speeds, a dedicated security radio, SSID segmentation with per‑client bandwidth and Layer 3/7 controls, and a unified dashboard for remote management. Install times were short (two days for the main site, one day for others), the five‑person IT team can now monitor and tune traffic centrally, and Rovio can add capacity or new sites in minutes — improving security, performance, and operational efficiency.
