Case Study: Motel 6 and Studio 6 achieve one of the world’s largest cloud-managed Wi‑Fi networks — 10,000 APs deployed in 5 months with Cisco Meraki

Largest cloud-managed network on record 10K Aps deployed in just five months

Motel 6 and Studio 6, part of Accor North America’s portfolio of more than 1,100 hotels, needed to upgrade guest Wi‑Fi to keep pace with growing mobile device use. They selected Cisco Meraki’s cloud‑managed 802.11n Wireless LAN to deliver consistent, scalable coverage and simplify management across their economy brands.

Cisco Meraki deployed nearly 10,000 cloud‑managed access points across 620 properties (covering over 70,000 rooms) in just five months—the largest cloud‑managed wireless LAN on record. The rollout provided full 802.11n coverage in properties with up to 600 rooms and 17 buildings, now serving up to 35,000 guests per week while reducing deployment time and ongoing maintenance through Meraki’s cloud platform.
