Case Study: Ledarna achieves rapid deployment and hassle-free, voice‑prioritized networking with Cisco Meraki

More than 40 MR APs and an MX security device seamlessly installed in one day

Ledarna is a Swedish management organisation with 92,000+ members whose small IT team struggled with poor network visibility, unreliable phone quality and long troubleshooting times across six dispersed sites. After testing Systems Manager, Ledarna chose Cisco Meraki—deploying MR access points, MX security appliances, MS switches, MV cameras and the cloud Meraki Dashboard—to achieve a simpler, centrally managed network.

Cisco Meraki installed more than 40 MR APs and an MX80 in one day and later added two more MX appliances, extra APs and switches as offices expanded. Using the Meraki Dashboard they implemented 802.1x SSIDs, Layer 7 traffic shaping with DSCP prioritisation for SIP/voice, Office 365 and Salesforce, Auto VPN and guest segmentation, and deployed MV cameras for security. The result was dramatically reduced troubleshooting time, predictable annual networking costs, a one‑hour core setup, improved call quality and faster incident resolution—delivering hassle‑free management and measurable operational gains for Ledarna.
