The new funding round was led by BlueStream Ventures, Clearstone Venture Partners and NeoCarta Ventures. Meru Networks has now raised $42.7 million in total funding to date.


The company said it has achieved significant customer traction, with deployments by U.S. snack-maker McKee Foods, the University of Miami Medical Center in a 1,000+ access point deployment, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Pacific Sunwear and system integrator Azulstar Networks, a division of Ottawa Wireless, to deliver the nation's largest Metro voice and data Wi-Fi service to the city of Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
