Cisco Meraki MR46 Access Point
The Cisco Meraki MR 46 is a new cloud-managed 802.11ax access point. Carrying 4×4:4 radio setup, it truly raises the bar for performance and efficiency. As a result, it’s ideal for next-generation uses in offices, schools, hospitals, and hotels. It offers high throughput, enterprise security, and simple management.
This access point provides up to 3.5 Gbps* aggregate frame rate. And, it carries 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. A dedicated third radio provides real-time WIDS / WIPS and automated RF optimization. Plus, there’s also a fourth radio that delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing.
With MR 46 you get cloud management, high performance hardware and multiple radios. Therefore, the MR-46 makes an outstanding platform for the most demanding of uses. That includes high-density and bandwidth-hungry deployments like voice and high-definition video.
The MR Enterprise license includes centralized cloud-based management. Therefore, you will not need an on-site hardware controller. In addition, you have network-wide visibility and control. This is a massively scalable bundle, up to thousands of APs.
The MR Advanced license includes a device (Enterprise) license for the MR access point. Plus, the Umbrella DNS security and content filtering integration is included.
