Cisco Meraki MR57 Wireless Access Point – Ultra-High Performance Wi-Fi 6E Wireless

The Cisco Meraki MR57 is a cloud-managed 4×4:4 802.11ax compatible access point that raises the bar for wireless performance and efficiency. Designed for next-generation deployments in offices, schools, hospitals, retail shops, and hotels, the MR57 offers high throughput, enterprise-grade security, and easy-to-use management. The MR57 provides a maximum of 8.35 Gbps aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6GHz radios.

A dedicated 3rd radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimisation, and a 5th integrated IoT device radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing. With the combination of cloud management, high-performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, the MR57 makes an outstanding platform for the most demanding of uses—including high-density deployments and bandwidth or performance-intensive applications like voice (Cisco WebEx) and high-definition video.

Software Configurable Flex Radio Architecture for 6GHz Support

MR57 supports a software defined flex radio which can be toggled between a 5GHz and 6GHz. This provides an option to operate MR57 in either a dual 5GHz configuration or a true tri-band configuration. Tri-band configuration unlocks the use of new spectrum in the 6GHz frequency range which provides additional channels to increase throughput and reduce interference and noise from legacy devices. 6GHz support ensures that the MR57 supports future technologies.

Support for Dual Ethernet Ports to Enable High Availability

MR57 will support dual 5 Gigabit mGig Ethernet ports for high availability or for link aggregation. These ports can also be used for power-sharing to power up the AP and fully support the required functionality. The secondary Ethernet port can also be used for power and data sharing or in a high availability mode for added resiliency.

Tri-band 802.11ax compatible access point with separate radios dedicated to security, RF management, and Bluetooth coupled with dual Ethernet ports and a USB port for added option to connect dual 5GHz radio for additional connectivity options.
