Meraki MR52 Kenya

Description

Cisco Meraki MR52 802.11ac Wave 2 Access Point Kenya

The Cisco Meraki MR52 Kenya is a cloud-managed 4×4:4 802.11ac Wave 2 access point with 160 MHz channels and MU-MIMO support. Designed for next-generation deployments in offices, schools, hospitals, shops, and hotels, Meraki wifi AP Kenya offers high performance, enterprise-grade security, and simple management. The MR52 provides a maximum of 2.5 Gbps* aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. A dedicated third radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fourth integrated radio delivers Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning and Beaconing. With the combination of cloud management, high-performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, Meraki wifi AP Kenya makes an outstanding platform for the most demanding of uses – including high-density deployments and bandwidth or performance-intensive applications like voice and high-definition video.

Dual–radio aggregate frame rate of up to 2.5 Gbps*

Cisco Meraki Kenya features 5 GHz 4×4:4 radio supporting 80 MHz channel widths and a 2.4 GHz 4×4:4 radio supporting 40 MHz channel widths offer a combined dual–radio aggregate frame rate of 2.5 Gbps*, with up to 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band thanks to 802.11ac Wave 2 and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the MR52 to support a higher client density than typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in fewer APs for a given deployment.

Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)

With support for the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, Meraki wifi AP Kenya offers MU-MIMO for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. Especially suited for environments with numerous mobile devices, MU-MIMO enables multiple clients to receive data simultaneously. This increases the total network performance and the improves the end user experience.

Link Aggregation

The two Ethernet uplinks on the Meraki MR52 Kenya can be configured for link aggregation, which relieve any existing uplink bottlenecks created by 802.11ac Wave 2.

Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon and scanning radio

An integrated fourth radio for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) provides seamless deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of BLE devices. The MR52 enables the next generation of location-aware applications while futureproofing your deployment, ensuring it’s ready for any new customer engagement strategies.

Automatic cloud-based RF optimization

The MR52’s sophisticated and automated RF optimization means that there is no need for the dedicated hardware and RF expertise typically required to tune a wireless network. The RF data collected by the dedicated third radio is continuously fed back to the Meraki cloud. This data is then used to automatically tune the channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings for optimal performance under even the most challenging RF conditions.

Integrated enterprise security and guest access

The Cisco wifi Kenya features integrated, easy-to-use security technologies to provide secure connectivity for employees and guests alike. Advanced security features such as AES hardware-based encryption and WPA2-Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide wire-like security while still being easy to configure. One-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors. PCI compliance reports check network settings against PCI requirements to simplify secure retail deployments.

Third radio delivers 24×7 wireless security and RF analytics

The MR52’s dedicated dual-band scanning and security radio continually assesses the environment, characterizing RF interference and containing wireless threats like rogue access points. There’s no need to choose between wireless security, advanced RF analysis, and serving client data – a dedicated third radio means that all functions occur in real-time, without any impact to client traffic or AP throughput.

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) & Mobile Device Management (MDM) integration

Meraki Systems Manager natively integrates with the MR52 to offer automatic, context-aware security. You can use Systems Manager’s self-service enrollment to rapidly deploy MDM without installing additional equipment, and then dynamically tie firewall and traffic shaping policies to client posture.
