Description

Meraki MG21 Cellular Gateway Kuwait

The Meraki MG21 Kuwait cellular gateway simplifies the path to wireless WAN connectivity and makes cellular a viable uplink option for many networks. The Cisco Meraki MG21 Kuwait 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.

Features and Usability

  • Antenna placement where cellular coverage is best 
    • Signal strength is key for cellular performance. The Meraki MG21 makes cellular a viable option in situations where the best location for the MX is not necessarily the best location  for a strong cellular signal. The separation of cellular antenna and MX expands cellular options for all networks, particularly for mid-range MXs mounted in a data center.
  • Primary WAN
    • In areas where wired internet services are not available, the Cisco Meraki MG21 provides a simple, viable option for wireless WAN connectivity.
  • Secondary WAN for Failover
    • An MX’s secondary WAN interface connected to a Meraki MG21 Kuwait may use the cellular network in the event of a primary uplink failure.
  • Secondary WAN for SD-WAN
    • An MX with an MG21 as a secondary WAN uplink may use the cellular network to establish VPNs for SD-WAN.
  • High Availability Uplink
    • The Meraki MG21 can be used as either a primary or secondary internet uplink for MX HA topologies. Its two LAN ports allow the MXs to share access to the same cellular network.
