MeterUP 2025 Launch: Nine New Platforms That Reset the Bar for Networking Hardware

In November 2025, Meter unveiled a major hardware refresh with nine new platforms designed to redefine networking, security, and infrastructure deployment across enterprise and service-provider environments. With this launch, Meter delivers real performance, simplicity, and reliability that triumphs just incremental updates. 

At LTT Partners, we believe these innovations embody a salient shift towards unified architecture, streamlined deployment, and higher efficiency. These are the kind of transformations that modern organizations need to stay agile and ahead of the curve. 

Meter's new lineup sets the stage for a stronger, more unified architecture. These products are expected to be available in early 2026, giving organizations time to plan upcoming upgrades and deployments.

What’s New: Discovering the Nine New Hardware Platforms

F-Series Firewalls: A New Standard for Firewall Performance

Meter’s new F-Series introduces three new firewalls: the F1, F2, and F3. These firewalls are built around the idea that security hardware should be powerful, efficient, and easy to deploy without requiring multi-vendor complexity. Each model offers a clear role in the ecosystem, making it simple to match performance with the deployment type. 

F1 Firewall: Maximum Throughput Without the Noise

The F1 is designed for large or bandwidth-heavy environments that demand serious performance headroom. 

• 50+ Gbps stateful throughput

• 13+ Gbps IDS and IPS

• Multiple 50 Gbps SFP56 uplinks

• Quiet, energy-efficient design

This is the firewall for organizations that want high performance without introducing noise or power overhead.

F2 Firewall: A Versatile Workhorse 

The F2 is built for the majority of standard mid-size deployments, offering strong throughput and connectivity at an accessible price point. 

• 20+ Gbps stateful throughput 

• 13+ Gbps IDS and IPS

• Mix of SFP+ and multi-gig ports

• Ideal for offices, retail, and multi-site rollouts

It delivers the right balance of performance and operational cost for everyday environments. 

F3 Firewall: High Availability in a Single Chassis 

The F3 takes a unique approach: two firewalls integrated into one chassis, providing built-in HA without doubling rack space or deploying separate devices. 

• Dual firewalls in one enclosure

• Simplified failover

• Perfect for small spaces or remote sites

Organizations get reliability and redundancy with less hardware sprawl. 

The S-Series: Multi-Gig Switching Built for Modern Networks 

The rise of WiFi 7, high-density endpoints, and PoE-heavy environments has pushed switching requirements forward. Meter’s S-Series, the S1 and S2, are designed to meet those demands with high multi-gig capacity and clean uplink architecture. 

S1 Switch: High-Density Multi-Gig with Serious PoE Power

The S1 is built for bandwidth-intensive environments with lots of powered devices.

• 24 x 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports (up to 60 W per port)

• 720 W total PoE budget

• 6 x 25 Gbps SFP28 uplinks

• Ideal for WiFi 7 access points

This is the switch for modern deployments that don’t want to sacrifice speed or power.

S2 Switch: A Flexible Multi-Gig Option for Balanced Deployments

The S2 offers strong multi-gig performance in a more cost-effective package.

• Multi-gig port support

• Flexible uplink options 

• Great for offices, SMB, and campus rollouts

It seamlessly supports higher-bandwidth devices without over provisioning. 

S3 Core Switch: High-Performance Aggregation for Modern Networks

The S3 serves as the aggregation or core switch for sites that demand substantial uplink bandwidth and clean, scalable design. 

• 420 Gbps total switching capacity

• Uplink options: 6 x 25 Gbps SFP28 ports and 6 x 10 Gbps SFP+ ports

• Multi-gig port support for downstream connectivity

• Seamless integration with S1 and S2 access-layer switches 

The S3 provides ample headroom for heavy east-west traffic, high-bandwidth applications, and large-scale device density all while fitting into a unified Meter-managed network stack.

The A-Series: Smarter Access Points for High-Density, High-Performance WiFi

With the rise of WiFi 7 and increasingly device-heavy environments, Meter's new A-Series access points are designed to bring consistent, high-speed wireless coverage to modern workplaces. The A-Series focuses on fast deployment, intelligent RF management, and reliable performance at scale.

A1 Access Point: High-Capacity WiFi for Modern Workplaces

The A1 is built for busy environments where dozens or even hundreds of devices connect simultaneously. 

• Optimized for WiFi 7 performance

• High-density client support

• Intelligent auto-channel and RF optimization 

• Clean, modern industrial design 

The A1 ensures fast, dependable wireless coverage across offices, retail spaces, and multi-floor deployments.

A2 Access Point: Flexible Coverage for Distributed Environments

The A2 delivers strong wireless performance in a more flexible, cost-efficient footprint, which is ideal for smaller sites, open-floor layouts, and distributed networks. 

• Multi-gig uplink support

• Streamlined installation 

• Strong performance for mixed device environments 

It gives organizations a reliable, easy-to-manage option for scaling wireless networks without overspending.

G1 5G Gateway: Reliable Wireless Connectivity

Meter’s new 5G Gateway extends enterprise connectivity beyond wired infrastructure, providing a reliable option for redundancy, temporary deployments, or challenging sites.

• Built for cellular-first or cellular-backup networks

• Includes a dedicated PoE+ port

• Perfect for remote or infrastructure-limited locations 

• Integrates natively with Meter’s firewall and switching stack

The G1 makes resilient connectivity easy to deploy, even in demanding physical environments.

A Unified Vision Across All Nine Products 

Meter designed this entire hardware family together, which brings several major advantages including:

• A consistent architecture across the stack: Matching chipsets, design philosophies, and management tools means fewer compatibility issues and easier troubleshooting. 

• Simplified deployment and scaling: With shared components and clean uplink paths, teams can deploy multi-site environments faster and more predictably.

• Long-term reliability: Buying hardware built to operate as one system reduces fragmentation and extends the lifecycle of deployments.

For organizations managing firewalls, switches, and gateways from different vendors, a unified ecosystem brings clarity and eliminates unnecessary complexity.
