MR42E
Meraki MR42E - Wireless Access Point
The new Meraki MR42e is a variation on the existing MR42, an indoor 802.11ac Wave 2 access point designed for deployments that need to custom-
craft their radio coverage. Rather than internal antennas, as on the MR42, the MR42e features five separate RP-TNC external antenna hookups. This gives it superb flexibility, particularly when combined with the new range of Meraki antennas available.
The MR42e can work along with any standard RP-TNC antennas but can benefit from Meraki's own antenna options. They offer dipole antennas, omni coverage, and both wide and narrow-patch antennas. This gives administrators the ability to shape their WiFi coverage to meet any conceivable need.
Like the MR42, the MR42e features (up to) a 3x3 MU-MIMO array, with a maximum possible bandwidth of 1.9Gbps. It's primarily powered via Power-over-Ethernet, but external power adapters are also available.
With the MR42e you also get all the ease of use and convenience which Meraki is known for. Its cloud-based mesh network allows Meraki hardware to detect each other and automatically optimize for peak performance, as well as being self-healing in the case of hardware failure. Meraki is endlessly scalable, capable of supporting even distributed networks across multiple physical locations - all while remaining simple to manage as a single network. The system is capable of self-updating, as well as maintaining all other Meraki software included in the package.
All this is controlled through a single-pane-of-glass Dashboard, which gives administrators unparalleled ease-of-use regardless of network size or complexity. From high-level overviews, to user-level usage and permissions, everything is controlled through one single GUI interface.
