MR78 Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Performance
The MR78 provides simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity using 2x2:2 MIMO client-serving radios. Wi-Fi 6 technologies such as OFDMA and MU-MIMO improve spectrum efficiency and help the access point handle multiple connected devices more efficiently.
2x2 MU-MIMO and OFDMA
Uplink and downlink MU-MIMO, OFDMA, beamforming, BSS Coloring and Target Wake Time help improve wireless efficiency, particularly in environments with multiple active clients and varying traffic requirements.
Rugged Outdoor IP67 Design
The MR78 is designed for outdoor deployments and uses a rugged enclosure with IP67 protection. This makes it suitable for environments where protection against dust and water exposure is required.
External Antenna Architecture
The MR78 provides external antenna connectivity, allowing network designers to select an appropriate antenna configuration according to coverage requirements and installation conditions. Antennas should be selected based on the intended deployment and Cisco Meraki compatibility requirements.
Dedicated Wireless Security Monitoring
A dedicated scanning radio enables wireless intrusion detection and prevention, spectrum analysis and RF monitoring without requiring the primary client-serving radios to perform continuous scanning functions.
Bluetooth Low Energy
The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio supports beaconing and Bluetooth device scanning, enabling supported location-aware and IoT applications within the Meraki wireless environment.
Cisco Meraki Cloud Management
The MR78 is centrally managed through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard. Administrators can configure, monitor and troubleshoot wireless deployments remotely while applying centralized security and network policies.
