Dual-band 802.11ax compatible access point with separate radios dedicated to security, RF management, and Bluetooth
High Performance 802.11ax compatible wireless
The Cisco Meraki MR45 is a cloud-managed 4x4:4 802.11ax compatible access point that raises the bar for wireless performance and efficiency. Designed for next-generation deployments in offices, schools, hospitals, shops, and hotels, the MR45 offers high throughput, enterprise-grade security, and simple management.
The MR45 provides a maximum of 3.5 Gbps* aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz radios. A dedicated third radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fourth integrated radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing.
With the combination of cloud management, high performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, the MR45 makes an outstanding platform for the most demanding of uses—including high-density deployments and bandwidth or performance-intensive applications like voice and high-definition video.

MR45 and Meraki Cloud Management: A Powerful Combo
Management of the MR45 is through the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment without time-consuming training or costly certifications. Since the MR45 is self-configuring and managed over the web, it can be deployed at a remote location in a matter of minutes, even without on-site IT staff.
24x7 monitoring via the Meraki cloud delivers real-time alerts if the network encounters problems. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting over the web so that distributed networks can be managed with a minimum of hassle
The MR45’s firmware is automatically kept up to date via the cloud. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web. This means no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.
100% cloud managed for faster deployment, simplified administration and richer visibility
The next Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 6, delivers higher capacity, better coverage, fewer disconnects, and lower latency.
Wi-Fi 6 represents an exciting step change for wireless networking. As well as providing a welcome boost to performance on both the 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz bands, a higher density of clients can take advantage of new efficiencies to communicate concurrently, completing their communications faster so that others can get their turn sooner.
A 5 GHz 4x4:4 radio and a 2.4 GHz 4x4:4 radio offer a combined dual–radio aggregate frame rate of 3.5 Gbps*, with up to 2,402 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 1,147 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the MR45 to support a higher client density than typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in better performance for more clients, from each AP.
With support for features of 802.11ax, the MR45 offers MU-MIMO and OFDMA for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. Especially suited to environments with numerous mobile devices, MU-MIMO enables multiple clients to receive data simultaneously. This increases the total network performance and the improves the end user experience
The MR45 has an integrated multigigabit uplink that ensures maximum capacity for this high performance 802.11ax compatible hardware configuration.
Meraki access points provide deep network insight enabling smarter network management.
The Cisco Meraki dashboard gives visibility into the network users, their devices, and their applications. Armed with rich analytics, administrators can quickly create access control and application usage policies, optimising both the end-user experience and network security.
Powerful and intuitive multi-site management via the cloud, while eliminating the cost and complexity of traditional on-site wireless controllers.
The industry’s only end-to-end solution which unifies WAN, LAN, wireless LAN, and mobile device management under a single pane of glass.
The Meraki dashboard mobile app, available for iOS and Android, is ideal for network management on the go.
Seamless over-the-web upgrades deliver significant new features to your current products, increasing the value of your investment
New features delivered as automatic updates
Always up-to-date with emerging device types and application profiles
New visibility, analytics, and troubleshooting tools added to the dashboard
