Техническая Спецификация для Cisco MR26 MR26-HW

Features

The MR26 uses three spatial streams to provide data rates of up to 
450 Mbps per radio, for a combined 900 Mbps. Technologies like 
transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity give the 
MR26 increased range compared to typical enterprise-class access 
points, resulting in fewer required APs for a given deployment. In 
addition, the MR26 uses band steering to automatically serve  
5 GHz-capable clients with the 5 GHz radio, maximizing capacity in 
the 2.4 GHz range for older 802.11b/g and 2.4 GHz-only clients.

The MR26’s dedicated dual-band third radio scans the environment 
continuously, characterizing RF interference and containing wireless 
threats like rogue access points. No more need to choose between 
wireless security, advanced RF analysis, and serving client data: a 
dedicated third radio means that all three occur in real-time, without 
any impact to client traffic or AP throughput.

The MR26 includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection,  
classification, and control engine, enabling QoS policies based on 
traffic type. Integrated support for Wireless Multi Media (WMM) and 
802.1p DSCP tagging. Prioritize your mission critical applications, 
while setting limits on recreational traffic, e.g., peer-to-peer and 
video streaming.

The MR26’s sophisticated, automated RF optimization means that 
there is no need for the dedicated hardware and RF expertise  
typically required to tune a wireless network. An integrated spectrum 
analyzer monitors the airspace for neighboring WiFi devices as well 
as non-802.11 interference – microwave ovens, Bluetooth headsets, 
etc. The Meraki cloud then automatically optimizes the MR26’s 
channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings, 
providing optimal performance even under challenging  
RF conditions.

The MR26 features integrated, easy-to-use security technologies  
to provide secure connectivity for employees and guests alike.  
Advanced security features such as AES hardware-based  
encryption and WPA2-Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and 
Active Directory integration provide wire-like security while still 
being easy to configure. One-click guest isolation provides secure, 
Internet-only access for visitors. The integrated policy firewall 
(Identity Policy Manager) enables granular group or device-based 
access control. Meraki Teleworker VPN makes it easy to extend 
the corporate LAN to remote sites, without requiring clients and 
devices to have client VPN software. PCI compliance reports check 
network settings against PCI requirements to simplify secure retail 
deployments.

There’s no need to choose between a wireless intrusion prevention 
system (WIPS) and serving client data: thanks to the dedicated 
third radio, Air Marshal, a highly optimized built-in WIPS, scans 
continuously for threats and remediates them as commanded, all 
without disrupting client service. Alarms and auto-containment of 
malicious and rogue APs are configured via flexible remediation 
policies, ensuring optimal security and performance in even the  
most challenging wireless environments.

The MR26’s advanced mesh technologies like multi-channel  
routing protocols and multiple gateway support enable scalable,  
high throughput coverage of hard-to-wire areas with zero  
configuration. Mesh also improves network reliability – in the event  
of a switch or cable failure, the MR26 will automatically revert to 
mesh mode, providing continued gateway connectivity to clients.

When plugged in, the MR26 automatically connects to the Meraki  
cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate 
network. It self optimizes, determining the ideal channel, transmit 
power, and client connection parameters. It also self heals, 
responding automatically to switch failures and other errors.

Despite its robust feature set, the MR26 is packaged in a sleek,  
low profile enclosure that blends seamlessly into any environment. 
90% of the access point materials are recyclable. A maximum power 
draw of only 13.7 watts and a cloud-managed architecture mean  
that pollution, material utilization and electricity bill are minimized.
