Description

Meraki MR74 Access Point Ghana

The Meraki MR74 Ghana is a four-radio, cloud-managed 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 access point. MR74 is designed for general purpose, next-generation deployments in harsh outdoor locations and industrial indoor conditions, offering performance, enterprise-grade security, and intuitive management. The Meraki MR74 Wi-Fi Access Point Ghana is managed via the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that lets you get up and running quickly without training or certifications. Since the MR74 is self-configuring and managed over the web, it can even be deployed at a remote location without on-site IT staff. The MR74 delivers a maximum 1.3 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. A fourth radio delivers seamless Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning and Beaconing.

The combination of cloud management, 802.11ac, full-time RF environment scanning, and an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio delivers the high throughput, reliability, and flexibility required by the most demanding business applications like voice and high-definition streaming video, even in the most harsh outdoor environments. The Meraki MR74 Ghana is monitored 24×7 from the Meraki cloud, which delivers real-time alerts if your network encounters problems. Remote diagnostics tools also enable real-time troubleshooting over the web. The MR74’s firmware is always kept up to date from the cloud. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web, so you never have to manually download software updates or worry about missing security patches.

Aggregate data rate of up to 1.3 Gbps*

A 5 GHz 2×2:2 radio supporting 80 MHz channel widths and a 2.4 GHz 2×2:2 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 Meraki MR70 Ghana 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 Wi-Fi MR74Ghana 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 Wi-Fi MR74Ghana 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 Access Points 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.

Self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing

The MR70’s advanced mesh technologies like multi-channel routing protocols and multiple gateway support enable scalable coverage of hard-to-wire areas with zero configuration. Mesh also improves network reliability — in the event of a switch or cable failure, the MR70 will automatically revert to mesh mode, providing continued gateway connectivity to clients.

Rapid, plug-and-play deployment

When plugged in, the MR70 automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. It self-optimizes, determining the ideal channel, transmit power, and client connection parameters.

Integrated analytics

Drill down into the details of your network usage with highly granular traffic analytics. Extend your visibility into the physical world with built-in location analytics that enables you to view visitor numbers, dwell time, repeat visit rates, and track foot traffic trends.
