The Cisco Meraki MR84 is a cloud-managed four-radio 4×4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac Wave 2 access point with four radios. The MR84 is designed for high-performance next-generation deployments in high-density environments with challenging RF. It provides performance, enterprise-grade security, and simple cloud-based management. A one-of-a-kind industrial design allows for flexible installation in harsh outdoor or indoor environments. The MR84 has a maximum aggregate frame rate of 2.5 Gbps* with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. A third dedicated radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fourth integrated radio provides Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning and Beaconing.
