Dual-band 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Access Point with dedicated security and RF management radio and Bluetooth low energy Beacon and scanning radio

No Longer Available - Replaced by MR33

High performance cloud-managed 802.11ac wireless

The Cisco Meraki MR32 is a three–radio, cloud-managed 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac access point. Designed for general purpose next-generation deployments in offices, schools, hospitals and hotels, the MR32 provides performance, security, and manageability. The MR32 provides a maximum 1.2 Gbps data rate with concurrent 802.11ac and 802.11n 2x2:2 MIMO radios, and security and spectrum visibility via a third radio dedicated to 24x7 WIDS/WIPS and automated RF optimization. An integrated Bluetooth low energy (BLE) radio delivers Beacon functionality and BLE device scanning. The combination of cloud management, 802.11ac, full-time RF environment scanning, and an integrated Bluetooth technology delivers the high throughput, reliability, and flexibility required by the most demanding business applications like voice and high-definition streaming video, both today and tomorrow.
