MyRepublic launches networking solution for retail, F&B and hospitality industries

In partnership with IT company Cisco Meraki, Internet company MyRepublic recently launched MyRepublic Connected Business, a streamlined networking solution designed to meet the end-to-end needs of retail, F&B and hospitality businesses to address various challenges.

For example, instead of relying on multiple vendors and IT professionals to set up a network at an outlet or branch, MyRepublic performs the role of both consultant and solutions provider.

Once a business’s requirements are mapped out, MyRepublic acts as the single contact point to manage the deployment of the network. By utilising Cisco Meraki technology, MyRepublic Connected Business is able to implement a large number of possible solutions, including:

• Secure and intelligent next-generation firewall services, leveraging a comprehensive security platform that delivers secure and fast connectivity to business branches.
• High-performance wireless network providing a powerful user experience with unmatched visibility into the network
• Traffic and use analytics that allows insight into the network, ensuring that networks are managed at the optimum level and utilised effectively.

“MyRepublic understands many of the challenges facing businesses in the retail, F&B and hospitality sectors,” said MyRepublic CEO Malcolm Rodrigues. “Our customers want and need solutions that are not just innovative, but streamlined and hassle-free. MyRepublic Connected Business is exactly that, and we are excited to work with a well-established partner like Cisco Meraki to resolve these challenges.”

Subscribers to MyRepublic Connected Business will benefit from its “feature-rich architecture”, which centrally and securely connects and manages all the devices a business needs, including wireless access points, security cameras, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones, network switches and more.

“Companies across South-east Asia are focused on digital innovation and adoption. They are turning to technology to address key business and operational challenges as they look to grow and expand. Meraki offers a comprehensive set of solutions to create a fully cloud managed IT infrastructure for our clients, helping them to simplify their operations so they can focus on growing their business,” said Naveen Menon, president for Cisco Systems in South-east Asia. “As a service provider, MyRepublic gets a first-hand look at some of the issues that businesses face as they look to scale their operations. I believe that by combing our individual market knowledge and Meraki’s technology and solutions, we can offer compelling services to businesses across Singapore.”
