Description

Meraki MS355-48 Access Point Kenya

The Meraki MS355-48 Kenya is a multi-gigabit switch line designed to help prepare Organizations for the increased bandwidth requirements of the upcoming 802.11ax wireless standard with high-count mGig switch ports and increased switching capacity to meet the demands of next generation access points. Networks with sizeable wireless deployments such as universities, hospitals, and large public complexes like transportation centers can all benefit from the increased bandwidth capabilities of the MS355. With 4 different models, each with multiple mGig RJ45 ports capable of negotiating up to 10Gbps, 40G QSFP+ ports, and dedicated 100G hardware stacking ports, the MS355 line is fully ready to support the future deployment of 802.11ax wireless infrastructure across a variety of different environments.

Meraki MS355-48 Kenya offers a broad range of switches, built from the ground up to be easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in traditional enterprise-class switches. Meraki access & aggregation switches are all managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, freeing administrators to spend less time on configuration and more time on meeting business needs. To set up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there is no need for repetitive, command-based configuration, and switches can be up and running within minutes of connecting them to the network. A powerful centralized management interface gives administrators deep visibility into the network and how it is used. See which switches are near capacity across hundreds of sites. Quickly provision and reconfigure switch ports with security, QoS, and more. The Meraki MS355-48 Kenya Meraki dashboard provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring. Meraki switches run the same operating system used by all of our products, which allows us to deliver a consistent user experience for network management. When connected, new MS355 switches automatically reach out to the Meraki cloud and download the most current configuration.

Converged Voice, Video and Data Environments

The Meraki MS355-48 Kenya is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. All Meraki switches support rich quality of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization. PoE models provide power to VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices. Using CDP and LLDP, PoE power is intelligently budgeted to maximize the number of PoE clients supported. For the most power-hungry applications, support for UPoE support is also available.

Application Layer Visibility

Meraki switches include integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting without the need to purchase additional modules or services. Identify hundreds of applications from business apps to BitTorrent and YouTube. User fingerprinting allows administrators to quickly identify individual users by device and tune network resources for optimum performance.

Beyond the Network Software Architecture

Meraki switches run the same operating system used by all of our products, which allows us to deliver a consistent user experience for network management. When connected, new MS355 switches automatically reach out to the Meraki cloud and download the most current configuration. Future updates can be user-scheduled, ensuring the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.
