Cisco MR70-HW

APL-MERAKI MR70 CLOUD MANAGED AP

Entry-level cloud-managed 802.11ac wireless

The Cisco Meraki MR70 is a dual-radio, cloud-managed 2x2:2 802.11ac Wave 2 access point with MU-MIMO support. Designed for basic, best-effort deployments that require rapid installation, the MR70 provides enterprise-grade security and simple management in a ruggedized, IP67-rated form factor that sports integrated omnidirectional antennas.

The MR70 is ideal for municipal athletic fields, garages, public gardens, space-constrained outdoor deployments, and even rapidresponse emergency kits designed to quickly deliver wireless in disaster-struck areas. The MR70 provides a maximum 1.3 Gbps aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios.

MR70 and Meraki cloud management: a powerful combination

The MR70 is managed through the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment without training or certifications. Because the access point is monitored 24x7 by the Meraki cloud, the MR70 can deliver real-time alerts if the network encounters problems, and diagnostic tools enable real-time troubleshooting over the web. The MR70's firmware is always kept up to date from the cloud. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web, meaning no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.

Features

Aggregate data rate of up to 1.3 Gbps

A 5 GHz 2x2:2 radio supporting 80 MHz channel widths and a 2.4 GHz 2x2:2 radio supporting 40 MHz channel widths offer a combined dual-radio aggregate frame rate of 1.3 Gbps, with up to 866 Mbps in the 5 GHz band thanks to 802.11ac Wave 2 and 400 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.

Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)

With support for the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, the MR70 offers MU-MIMO for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. This increases the total network performance and the improves the end user experience.

Integrated enterprise security and guest access

The MR70 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 provide wire-like security while still being easy to configure. One-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors. Our policy firewall (Identity Policy Manager) enables group or device-based, granular access policy control.

Secure wireless environments using Air Marshal

The MR70 comes equipped with Air Marshal, a built-in wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) for threat detection and attack remediation. MR70 access points will scan their environment opportunistically based on user-defined preferences. Alarms and auto-containment of malicious rogue APs are configured via flexible remediation policies, ensuring optimal security and performance in even the most challenging wireless environments.

Application-aware traffic shaping

The MR70 includes an 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.
