Meraki was founded in 2006 by two MIT alumni, who worked on a project for their PhD called RoofNet. This was an experimental wireless mesh network, and looked at routing protocols and adapting traffic flows within a variable performance mesh. This underlying technology formed the basis of the Meraki wireless offering.

Meraki was headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA, after initially starting in Mountain View, California. As Google was a key initial funder of the startup, this makes sense. The Google connection is still retained in the Meraki management console which makes heavy use of Google Maps.

Meraki is a brand retained after their acquisition by Cisco in 2012 for an estimated $1.2bn. It is now known as Cisco Meraki.
