What happens if my network loses connectivity to the Meter Cloud?
Meter separates the control plane from the data plane. Configuration and management run in the Meter Dashboard. Traffic forwarding, policy enforcement, authentication, and power delivery happen locally on each device. So if Meter hardware temporarily cannot reach the Meter Cloud, your network keeps running.
