Cisco Meraki MR78 Access Point

The MR78 is built with an IP67-rated, weather-sealed housing, meaning it is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter. It is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 55 °C, making it suitable for most outdoor environments like parking lots, industrial warehouses, or cold storage.

No, the MR78 is managed entirely through the Cisco Meraki cloud dashboard. This eliminates the need for on-site hardware controllers and allows for zero-touch provisioning, where you can configure and deploy the device remotely.

Yes, the MR78 includes a built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio. This allows you to use the access point for location services, asset tracking, and interacting with IoT devices without needing additional hardware.

The device supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is the most common method for outdoor deployments as it allows you to run both data and power through a single Ethernet cable. Alternatively, it can be powered using a 12V DC input if PoE is not available at your mounting location.

With Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology and 2x2 MU-MIMO, the MR78 is specifically engineered to handle dense client environments. It offers an aggregate data rate of 1.5 Gbps, which provides consistent performance even when multiple users are connected simultaneously.

The MR78 supports enterprise-grade security protocols, including WPA3 and 802.1X authentication. It also features integrated rogue-AP detection to help identify and mitigate unauthorized access points in your vicinity.
