At Meter, we build and own all layers of the networking stack: HW, firmware, network-os, software and AI. This end-to-end control enables us to deliver a level of performance and stability that traditional solutions can\'t match. We have virtualized every networking layer. For the first time, full networks live entirely behind an API.This gives us unprecedented, proprietary access to real-world operational data across every layer of the stack; full control not possible anywhere else.We’re using our data and end-to-end control to train models that make any decision network engineers can, but faster and proactively. These models take in gigabytes of raw networking data, outputting API calls which control our hardware and networks entirely.
