Description

Cisco Meraki MR84 802.11ac Wave 2 Access Point Kenya

The Cisco Meraki MR84 is a four-radio, cloud-managed 4×4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 access point. This Cisco Wi-Fi Kenya is designed for high-performance next-generation deployments in environments with high-density with tough RF. Cisco Meraki MR84 offers performance, enterprise- grade security, and simple cloud-based management. A unique industrial design enables flexible installation in harsh outdoor conditions or indoor spaces. Cisco Meraki MR84 Kenya provides a maximum 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. The combination of cloud management, powerful hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features make the Meraki MR84 Kenya an outstanding platform for the toughest use cases including; high-density deployments and support for latency-sensitive applications like voice and high-definition video.

Dual-Radio Aggregate Data Rate of up to 2.5 Gbps*

A 5 GHz 4×4:4 radio supporting 160 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 and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the MR84 to support a higher client density than typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in fewer APs for a given deployment.

Rugged Industrial Design

The Cisco Meraki MR84 Kenya features a design that is tested for salt spray, vibration, extreme thermal conditions, shock and dust and is IP67 rated, making it ideal for extreme environments. Despite its ruggedized design, the MR84 has a low-profile and is as easy to deploy indoors as out.

Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)

The Meraki MR84 Kenya offers MU-MIMO (an 802.11ac Wave 2 standard) for 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 improves the end user experience

Multi-gigabit and Link Aggregation Uplink Options

This Meraki Wi-Fi AP Kenya is integrated with multi-gigabit uplink ensuring maximum capacity for this high performance 802.11ac Wave 2 hardware configuration. The MR84’s two Ethernet uplinks can be configured for link aggregation if switch infrastructure does not yet support multi-gigabit. The second Ethernet port can be used to connect wired client devices, like a security camera, when not used for link aggregation.

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 MR84 enables the next generation of location-aware applications while futureproofing your deployment, making it ready for any new user engagement strategies.

Integrated Enterprise Security and Guest Access

The MR84 features integrated, easy-to-use security technologies that 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.

24×7 Wireless Security and RF Analytics

With dedicated dual-band scanning and security radio Cisco Meraki Kenya continually assesses the environment, characterizing RF interference and automatically 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 three occur in real-time, without any impact to client traffic or AP throughput

Application-Aware Traffic Shaping

This Cisco Meraki Kenya is integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling you to set QoS policies based on traffic type. Prioritize your mission critical applications, while setting limits on recreational traffic, e.g., peer-to-peer and video streaming. Importantly, controls can be implemented per network, per SSID, per user group, or per individual user.

Voice and Video Optimizations

Industry standard QoS features are easy to configure and come built in. Wireless Multi Media (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP industry standards all ensure important applications get prioritized correctly, not only on the MR84, but on other steps in the traffic flow. Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) ensures minimal battery drain on wireless VoIP phones.

Always Up-To-Date Self-Configuration and Maintenance

When plugged in, Meraki MR84 Wi-Fi AP Kenya automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. If new firmware is required, it is retrieved by the AP and updated automatically. This ensures the network is maintained with bug fixes, security updates, and new features managed for you.

Advanced Analytics

Drill down into the details of your network usage with highly granular traffic analytics. Extend your visibility into the physical world: View visitor numbers, dwell times, repeat visit rates, and compare trends. Fully customize your analysis with simple APIs.
