Description
Meraki MG41 Cellular Gateway Dubai
The Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai cellular gateway simplifies the path to wireless WAN connectivity and makes cellular a viable uplink option for many networks. The Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai acts as a gateway to the internet 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.
Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai can work with any routing or switching device, Meraki or non-Meraki. With additional 802.3af compatibility, the MG can be placed anywhere and powered via power over ethernet (PoE) like any access point. This gives users the option for optimal physical placement for signal quality – a cornerstone for wireless WAN communications.
Meraki Cloud services monitor all devices 24×7 and deliver real-time alerts if any devices encounter a problem. Remote diagnostics tools enable real-time troubleshooting through any web browser. New features and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web, so you never have to manually download software updates or worry about missing critical security vulnerability patches.
Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai can instantly provision primary cellular connectivity across thousands of sites at once without waiting on broadband or any change in infrastructure, enabling faster business expansion.
Deliver primary gigabit connectivity with Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai or pair with Meraki MX and SD-WAN to allow for the optimal bandwidth management needed for today’s cloud-first organizations.
With gigabit-level backup cellular connectivity, businesses can rely on MG41 for a consistent experience 24/7/365 to increase business uptime and network resilience.
Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai allows businesses to confidently deploy primary gigabit cellular at sites where there’s no broadband coverage, the carrier coverage is initially unknown, or there’s a varying level of availability and network reliability from multiple regional carriers.
The dual SIM gives the flexibility to switch to a better performing carrier network through auto-SIM failover or switch to the other carrier when either of the SIM reaches the data cap.

Usability
-
Antenna placement where cellular coverage is best
-
Signal strength is key for cellular performance. The Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai 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. The 4 x 4 DL MIMO is capable of supporting deployments that demands higher throughput capacity.

-
Primary WAN
-
In areas where wired internet services are not available, the Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai provides a simple, viable option for wireless WAN connectivity.
-
-
Secondary WAN for Failover
-
An MX’s secondary WAN interface connected to an MG41 may use the cellular network in the event of a primary uplink failure.
-
-
Secondary WAN for SD-WAN
-
An MX with an MG41 as a secondary WAN uplink may use the cellular network to establish VPNs for SD-WAN.
-
-
High Availability Uplink
-
The Cisco Meraki MG41 Dubai 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.
