Features
Aggregate data rate of up to 1.2 Gbps
A 5 GHz 2x2:2 802.11ac radio and a 2.4 GHz 2x2:2 802.11n radio
offer a combined aggregate dual-band data rate of 1.2 Gbps.
Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive
sensitivity allow the MR32 to support a higher client density than
typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in fewer required
APs for a given deployment. Band steering further enhances overall
throughput, by moving 5 GHz-capable clients to the 5 GHz radio,
maximizing the capacity in the 2.4 GHz range for older 802.11b/g
clients.
Dedicated third radio delivers 24x7 wireless security and
RF analytics
The MR32’s sophisticated, dedicated dual-band third radio scans
the environment continuously, characterizing RF interference and
containing wireless threats like rogue access points. No more need
to choose between wireless security, advanced RF analysis, and
serving client data: a dedicated third radio means that all three
occur in real-time, without any impact to client traffic or
AP throughput.
Bluetooth low energy Beacon and scanning
An integrated Bluetooth low energy radio provides seamless
deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of
BLE devices within range of the AP. The MR32 enables the next
generation of location-aware applications and engagement right out
of the box.
Automatic cloud-based RF optimization
The MR32’s sophisticated, automated RF optimization means that
there is no need for the dedicated hardware and RF expertise
typically required to tune a wireless network. The real-time fullspectrum RF analysis data collected by the dedicated third radio is
continuously fed back to the Meraki cloud. The Meraki cloud then
automatically tunes the MR32’s channel selection, transmit power,
and client connection settings for optimal performance under the
most challenging RF conditions.
Secure wireless environments using 24x7 Air Marshal
No longer choose between a wireless intrusion prevention system
(WIPS) and serving client data: thanks to the dedicated third radio,
Air Marshal, a highly optimized built-in WIPS, scans continuously for
threats and remediates them as commanded, all without disrupting
client service. Alarms and optional auto-containment of rogue APs
are configured via flexible remediation policies, ensuring optimal
security and performance in even the most challenging wireless
environments.
Integrated enterprise security and guest access
The MR32 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 and
Active Directory integration 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. Meraki Teleworker VPN makes it easy to extend the
corporate LAN to remote sites, without requiring all clients and
devices to have client VPN software. PCI compliance reports
check network settings against PCI requirements to simplify secure
retail deployments.
Application-aware traffic shaping
The MR32 includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection,
classification, and control engine, enabling you to set QoS policies
based on traffic type. Also included is integrated support for
Wireless Multi Media (WMM), 802.1p, and DSCP. Prioritize your
mission critical applications, while setting limits on recreational
traffic, e.g., peer-to-peer and video streaming.
Low-profile, environmentally friendly design
Despite its robust feature set, the MR32 is packaged in a sleek,
low-profile enclosure that blends seamlessly into any environment.
Energy-saving components and intelligent power management
techniques deliver best-in-class energy efficient performance and
mean that pollution, material utilization, and your electric bill are
kept to a minimum.
High performance mesh
The MR32’s advanced mesh technologies, like multi-channel
routing protocols and multiple gateway support, make it possible
to cover hard-to-wire areas and improve network resilience. In the
event of a switch or cable failure, the MR32 will automatically revert
to mesh mode.
Self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing
When plugged in, the MR32 automatically connects to the Meraki
cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate
network. The MR32 then self-optimizes, determining the ideal
channel, transmit power, and client connection parameters. As
necessary, it will also self-heal, responding automatically to switch
failures and other errors.
