Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)
With support for features of 802.11ax, the MR44 offers MU-MIMO and OFDMA for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. Especially suited to
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.

Dedicated third radio delivers 24x7 wireless security and RF analytics
The MR44’s dedicated dual-band scanning and security radio continually assesses the environment, characterizing RF interference and 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 functions occur in real-time, without any impact to client traffic or AP throughput.
Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon and scanning radio
* Refers to maximum over-the-air data frame rate capability of the radio chipset, and may exceed data rates allowed by IEEE 802.11ax operation.

An integrated fourth Bluetooth radio provides seamless deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of Bluetooth devices. The MR44 enables
the next generation of location-aware applications while future proofing deployments, ensuring it’s ready for any new customer engagement strategies.
Automatic cloud-based RF optimization.

The MR44’s sophisticated and automated RF optimization means that there is no need for the dedicated hardware and RF expertise typically required to tune a
wireless network. The RF data collected by the dedicated third radio is continuously fed back to the Meraki cloud. This data is then used to automatically tune
the channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings for optimal performance under even the most challenging RF conditions.
Integrated enterprise security and guest access.

The MR44 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 Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide wired-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.

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) & Mobile Device Management (MDM) integration
Meraki Systems Manager natively integrates with the MR44 to offer automatic, context-aware security. Systems Manager’s self-service enrollment helps to
rapidly deploy MDM without installing additional equipment, and then dynamically tie firewall and traffic shaping policies to client posture.
Application-aware traffic shaping.

The MR44 includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling the configuration of QoS policies based on traffic type,
helping to prioritize mission-critical applications while setting limits on recreational traffic like peer-to-peer and video streaming. Policies can be implemented per
network, per SSID, per user group, or per individual user for maximum flexibility and control.
Voice and video optimizations.

Industry standard QoS features are built-in and easy to configure. Wireless MultiMedia (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP standards support all
ensure important applications get prioritized correctly, not only on the MR44, but on other devices in the network. Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
(U-APSD) and new Target Wait Time features in 802.11ax clients ensure minimal battery drain on wireless VoIP phones.
Self-configuring, self-maintaining, always up-to-date.

When plugged in, the MR44 automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. If new firmware is
required, this is retrieved by the AP and updated automatically. This ensures the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.
Advanced analytics Drilling down into the details of network usage provides highly granular traffic analytics. Visibility into the physical world can be enhanced with journey tracking
through location analytics. Visitor numbers, dwell time, repeat visit rates, and track trends can all be easily monitored in the dashboard and deeper analysis is
enabled with raw data available via simple APIs.
