General purpose
cloud-managed 802.11ac wireless
The Cisco Meraki MR42E is a cloud-managed 3×3 MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 access point. Designed for general purpose deployments in offices
schools
shops
and hotels
the MR42E provides performance
security
and manageability. The MR42E provides a maximum 1.5 Gbps frame rate with concurrent 802.11ac Wave 2 and 802.11n 3×3:3 MIMO radios
and security and spectrum visibility via a third radio dedicated to 24×7 WIDS/WIPS and automated RF optimization. An integrated Bluetooth low energy (BLE) radio delivers Beacon functionality and BLE device scanning.
The MR42E supports a variety of smart
auto-detectable external antenna that can deliver both focused
targeted coverage in challenging RF scenarios as well as broader coverage in a variety of environments
including those with very high ceilings. These antenna include panel and panel downtilt omni-directionals
wide patch
and narrow patch options.
The combination of cloud management
802.11ac Wave 2
full-time RF environment scanning
and an integrated Bluetooth technology delivers the high throughput
reliability
and flexibility required by the most demanding business applications like voice and high-definition streaming video
both today and tomorrow.
MR42E and Meraki cloud management: a powerful combination
Management of the MR42E is handled through the Meraki dashboard
an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment across multiple sites without the need for timeconsuming training or costly certifications.
Since the MR42E is self-configuring and managed over the web
it can be deployed at a remote location in a matter of minutes
even without on-site IT staff. 24×7 monitoring via the Meraki cloud delivers real-time alerts if the network encounters problems. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting so that distributed networks can be managed with a minimum of hassle.
The MR42E’s firmware is automatically kept up to date via the cloud. New features
bug fixes
and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web. This means no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.
Features
Aggregate data rate of up to 1.9 Gbps
A 5 GHz 3×3:3 802.11ac Wave 2 radio and a 2.4 GHz 2×2:2 802.11ac radio offer a combined aggregate dual-band data rate of 1.9 Gbps. Supports up to 1
300 Mbps in the 5 GHz band (with 3SS/VHT80 clients) and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (with 3SS/VHT40 clients). Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the MR42E to support a higher client density than typical enterprise-class access points
resulting in fewer required APs for a given deployment.
Dedicated third radio delivers 24×7 wireless security and RF analytics
The MR42E’s sophisticated
dedicated dual-band third radio scans the environment continuously
characterizing RF interference and containing wireless threats like rogue access points. No more need to choose between wireless security
advanced RF analysis
and serving client data: a dedicated third radio means that all three occur in real-time
without any impact to client traffic or AP throughput.
Bluetooth low energy Beacon and scanning
An integrated Bluetooth low energy radio provides seamless deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of BLE devices within range of the AP. The MR42E enables the next generation of location-aware applications and engagement right out of the box.
