Meter is an American technology company that provides internet infrastructure for businesses.[1][2][3][4] Headquartered in San Francisco, it was founded by Sunil and Anil Varanasi in 2015 to build secure enterprise-grade networks.[1][3][5]

The computer networking company provides “all-in-one” services for networking hardware, software, and support that can be maintained remotely. The company makes its own enterprise networking hardware, which includes firewalls, network switches, and access points.[2][3][6][7]

Meter launched its AI tool, "Command", in August 2024.[1] The following year, it announced a partnership with Lumen Technologies to develop Meter's core enterprise networking offering, adding WAN and LAN circuit ordering and management to its platform.[8][9] As of 2025, Meter is valued at over $1 billion.[1][2][3][6]
