Predictable service model
Plan the network as an ongoing operating capability rather than a collection of disconnected capital projects.
HTS Network as a Service
Your network, delivered as an ongoing service
HTS designs and integrates the network foundation your organization depends on—from one location to a distributed portfolio—through a predictable recurring service model powered by Meter.
A different network operating model
Stop rebuilding the same network every refresh cycle
Traditional networks split responsibility across hardware purchases, carrier contracts, licenses, installers, support teams, and replacement schedules. HTS Network as a Service brings those moving parts into one coordinated program focused on the outcomes your locations need.
One network standard
Establish a repeatable architecture for individual facilities, new locations, and distributed portfolios.
Lifecycle included
Continuous software updates and included hardware refreshes keep the platform moving forward over time.
What the service covers
The complete enterprise network foundation
Design and ISP coordination
Site requirements, network design, ISP procurement, and carrier management are coordinated as one program.
Firewalls and security
Integrated firewalls, DNS security, VPN capabilities, segmentation, and network policies protect connected environments.
Switching and Wi-Fi
Wired and Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure provides the connectivity required by users, devices, and building systems.
Resilient WAN options
MultiWAN designs can use automatic failover, active-active connections, and policy-based routing.
Cloud management
Centralized visibility covers clients, ISPs, VLANs, routing, wireless networks, security policies, and network health.
Operations and lifecycle
Proactive monitoring, 24/7 network operations, support, maintenance, software updates, and hardware refreshes support the network after launch.
Built for connected environments
The network underneath the rest of your technology
A network is not an isolated IT system. It supports video surveillance, access control, intercoms, sensors, voice, cloud applications, employee connectivity, guest access, operational technology, and the systems that keep facilities running.
HTS understands both the network and the technologies consuming it. That allows design decisions to account for the complete operating environment instead of treating every connected system as a separate project.
Multi-site standards
Apply consistent designs and policies across distributed locations.
New locations
Coordinate connectivity with the rest of a site opening or buildout.
Network refreshes
Replace aging, inconsistent infrastructure with an ongoing service model.
Security-only networks
Create purpose-built segmented networks for physical security and connected devices.
How it works
From assessment to ongoing operation
Assess
Review locations, current infrastructure, connected systems, carriers, risks, and growth plans.
Design
Create the network architecture, site standards, resiliency approach, and rollout plan.
Deploy
Coordinate ISPs, installation, configuration, validation, and location cutovers.
Operate
Manage, monitor, support, update, and refresh the network throughout its lifecycle.
Powered by Meter
A vertically integrated enterprise networking platform
Meter brings together networking hardware, software, and operations. Its platform includes firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi 7 access points, cloud management, network security, ISP management, monitoring, support, continuous software updates, and included hardware refreshes.
HTS brings that platform into the customer's broader physical security, IT, communications, IoT, and managed technology strategy. Meter is not an ISP; it coordinates and manages ISP relationships as part of the service.
Designed for ongoing improvement
- Meter-manufactured network hardware
- Unified Network Operating System and cloud management
- Proactive monitoring and 24/7 network operations
- Continuous software updates
- Hardware refreshes included

Connect NaaS to the technology it supports
NaaS covers the network foundation. VoIP, contact center, virtualization, VM management, hosting, and compute or cloud services remain within HTS Infrastructure as a Service.
Frequently asked questions
Network as a Service questions
What is Network as a Service?
Network as a Service replaces a series of separate hardware, software, deployment, support, and refresh projects with an ongoing service model for the network foundation.
What does “powered by Meter” mean?
HTS owns the customer relationship and integrates the network with the broader technology environment. Meter supplies the integrated networking platform and associated network operations capabilities.
Is Meter an internet service provider?
No. Meter supports ISP procurement and management, but Meter is not an internet service provider.
Can NaaS support multiple locations?
Yes. NaaS can establish a repeatable network standard for individual sites, new-location programs, and distributed portfolios.
What stays within Infrastructure as a Service?
VoIP, contact center, virtualization, VM management, hosting, and compute or cloud services remain within HTS Infrastructure as a Service.
