High-Density & Capacity with Dedicated Security

802.11n with 3-stream MIMO

The Cisco Meraki MR26 is an industry-first three-radio, cloud-managed 3x3 MIMO 802.11n access point designed for high-density deployments in large offices, schools, hospitals and hotels that require premium performance. The MR26 features dual-concurrent, dual-band operation with the speed of 3x3 MIMO with three spatial streams, delivering the ultra-high throughput and reliable coverage required by the most demanding business applications like voice and high-definition streaming video. Not only does the MR26 provide data rates of up to 900 Mbps with two concurrent 3x3:3 MIMO radios, but also delivers unprecedented security and spectrum visibility via a third radio dedicated to 24x7 WIDS/WIPS and advanced RF analytics.

The MR26 is managed through the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment without training or certifications. Since the MR26 is self-configuring and managed over the web, it can even be deployed at a remote location without on-site IT staff.

The MR26 is monitored 24x7 via the Meraki cloud, which delivers real-time alerts if the network encounters problems. Remote diagnostics tools enable real-time troubleshooting over the web, meaning multi-site, distributed networks can be managed remotely.

The MR26’s firmware is always kept up to date from the cloud. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web, meaning no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.
