Meraki MR42E Dubai
The Meraki MR42E Dubai is a cloud-managed access point that offers general-purpose Wi-Fi with external antenna connectors. It is a 802.11ac Wave 2 access point that is designed for use in various settings such as offices, schools, shops, and hotels. With its 3×3 MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, it provides high performance, security, and manageability. The Meraki MR42E Dubai can deliver a maximum frame rate of 1.9 Gbps with its concurrent 802.11ac Wave 2 and 802.11n 3×3:3 MIMO radios. It also has a dedicated third radio that ensures security and spectrum visibility through 24×7 WIDS/WIPS and automated RF optimization. Additionally, it features an integrated Bluetooth low energy (BLE) radio for Beacon functionality and BLE device scanning. One of the key features of the Meraki MR42E Dubai is its support for a variety of smart, auto-detectable external antennas. These antennas can provide focused, targeted coverage in challenging RF environments, as well as broader coverage in different settings including those with high ceilings. The antenna options include panel and panel downtilt omni-directionals, wide patch, and narrow patch. The combination of cloud management, 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, full-time RF environment scanning, and integrated Bluetooth technology ensures high throughput, reliability, and flexibility for demanding business applications like voice and high-definition streaming video. The Meraki MR42E Dubai is a reliable and future-proof solution for businesses in Dubai and beyond.
