MG - Wireless WAN
Learn more with these free online training courses on the Meraki Learning Hub:
The Wireless WAN (MG) line of hardware provides reliable connectivity over an LTE cellular connection for any of your network edge devices, as well as connectivity insights to understand the quality of your connection.
MG21/21E Technical Specifications
The MG21 cellular gateway simplifies the path to wireless WAN connectivity and makes cellular a viable uplink option for many networks. MG21 acts as a gateway to cellular networks, by converting LTE signal from a cellular provider to an ethernet handoff, which can be used as an internet uplink for a variety of use-cases.
MG21/21E Installation Guide
This guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your MG21 or MG21E series device. This guide also provides mounting instructions and limited troubleshooting procedures.
MG Troubleshooting Guide
The document provides common troubleshooting steps for the Meraki MG series of products.
- MG21 Internal Antenna Datasheet
- The internal antenna on the MG21 are enclosed inside for a sleek look while maintaining excellent performance. When in use the internal antenna has a bias towards the front face. The dipole shape of coverage the antennas generally excel at allowing users to place the MG in areas where a directional patch antenna cannot be mounted. A benefit of the internal antenna is the smaller footprint where it will be mounted.
- MG41E and MG51E Cellular Patch Antenna Datasheet
- The Cellular Patch Antenna (MA-ANT-DUAL-C1) is ideal for situations that require higher directional gain towards a cellular tower. When mounted high up on a pole for a clearer line of site toward a cellular tower, the MG cellular gateway will have higher signal quality and power.
- MG Cellular Dipole Antenna Datasheet
- The dipole antennas (MA-ANT-C1-A) are included with the MG21E. When in use the dipoles have a spherical coverage in comparison to a patch antenna. The dipole antennas will excel at allow users to place the MG in areas where a directional patch antenna cannot be mounted. The dipoles are directly attached to the MG21E and require no additional mounting hardware.
- MG Cellular Patch Antenna Datasheet
- The Cellular Patch Antenna (MA-ANT-C1-B) is ideal for situations that require higher directional gain towards a cellular tower. When mounted high up on a pole for a clearer line of site toward a cellular tower, the MG cellular gateway will have higher signal quality and power.
