Auvik and MetaGeek: Potential Synergies

"One thing that attracted me to Auvik is their excellent cloud platform for network management and insight. Auvik is to network management what MetaGeek is to Wi-Fi - an intuitive tool with awesome visualizations that delivers "aha!" moments to users. The opportunity to merge our Wi-Fi expertise with Auvik's network management expertise is super exciting for us! Stay tuned for some exciting product news later this year.
