Cisco Meraki MG52E
Accelerate day 0 operations with cloud-managed eSIM, future-ready 5G Standalone (SA), and more

Features:

Quick and easy to deploy

Get fixed wireless access connectivity up and running quickly with true zero-touch provisioning. Ensure your device has the latest firmware with schedulable or automatic updates. MG cellular gateways can instantly provision primary cellular connectivity across thousands of sites at once without waiting on broadband or any change in infrastructure, enabling faster business expansion.

Centrally manage at scale

MG devices are 100% cloud-managed through the Meraki platform. This means managing, architecting, and scaling organizations’ networks can be done remotely, making the MG ideal for distributed branches, campuses, or data center locations. Easily add MG to your existing network with ease, though it works best with a full-stack MXbased Meraki network. Deploy, provision, view, and manage all of your Meraki devices in a single platform view.

Super-fast 5G-powered SD-WAN

With up to multigigabit-level cellular connectivity, businesses can rely on the MG family of devices for a consistent experience 24/7/365 to increase business uptime and network resilience.

The MG allows businesses to confidently deploy fixed wireless access (FWA) at sites where there’s no broadband coverage, the carrier coverage is initially unknown, or there’s a varying level of availability and network reliability from multiple regional carriers.

The best way to connect with 5G fixed wireless access

A network is only as good as its infrastructure, and the MG integrates deeply with the rest of the Meraki stack to provide cellular WAN connectivity to your network.

Self-configuring for primary or backup cellular

If a certified carrier SIM card is inserted, the MG cellular gateway will bring up the cellular connection and automatically connect to the Meraki cloud, download its configuration, and join your network.

Moreover, the MG is capable of powering your entire network. Designed for optimal performance with an integrated cellular modem, the MG is your reliable cellular gateway to primary or secondary WAN connectivity.

Industry-leading cloud management

Meraki’s award-winning cloud-management architecture unifies LAN and management under a web-based dashboard and scales easily from small to large multi-site deployments with tens of thousands of devices. The Meraki dashboard provides intuitive yet powerful role-based administration, firmware updates, configuration changes, email alerts, and easy-to-audit change logs.
