Case Study: Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP achieves seamless, high-speed, centrally managed office Wi‑Fi with Cisco Meraki

Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP - Customer Case Study

Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP, an Atlanta-based construction law firm with five offices and 55 attorneys, faced unreliable, slow Wi‑Fi from a mix of Netgear and Linksys access points that dropped connections during conference‑room roaming, required frequent restarts, and forced hardware shipping for remote sites. Seeking an upgrade, the firm chose Cisco Meraki’s cloud‑managed wireless solution on the recommendation of Client Profiles.

Cisco Meraki deployed seven Meraki MR14 APs and the Meraki Enterprise Cloud Controller, delivering high‑speed dual‑radio 802.11n performance, centralized remote management, and an isolated guest network. The firm saw immediate improvements—clients now connect at up to 300 Mb/s versus the prior 54 Mb/s, no more weekly AP restarts or help calls, simple plug‑and‑play remote installs, and an easy way to support 15+ visitors—resulting in reliable, low‑maintenance campus Wi‑Fi.
