Meraki MG21E Cellular Gateway Nigeria

The Meraki MG21E Nigeria is a cellular gateway that simplifies the path to wireless WAN connectivity and makes cellular a viable uplink option for many networks. Meraki MG21E Nigeria 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. Connectivity is critical for any organization that depends on reliable internet access in order to function. Wireless WAN connectivity options, such as cellular networks, serve as a reliable backup internet uplink in the event of a primary uplink failure.

MG21E router helps you connect multiple devices to the Internet, and connect the devices to each other. Also, you can use routers to create local networks of devices. These local networks are useful if you want to share files among devices or allow employees to share software tools. So basically, a router sends traffic from one network to another. Meraki MG21E cellular gateway can be used for mainline or back-up connectivity. A basic home router can simply inter-connect the devices within your home or office and nothing else. For instance, if you want to print a photo from your smartphone to your home printer, all you have to do is connect the two devices to the router’s wireless

Features

The option to power cellular gateways by DC or PoE.

Nano SIM Card Slot

Simply insert a certified carrier nano SIM card for cellular connectivity.

Cellular Telemetry

Remotely monitor key cellular information such as cellular modem ID and signal strength. See data sheet for full list.

Antenna placement where cellular coverage is best

Signal strength is key for cellular performance. The MG21E 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 MG2E provides a simple, viable option for wireless WAN connectivity.

Secondary WAN for Failover

An MX’s secondary WAN interface connected to an MG21E may use the cellular network in the event of a primary uplink failure.

Secondary WAN for SD-WAN

An MX with an MG21E as a secondary WAN uplink may use the cellular network to establish VPNs for SD-WAN.

High Availability Uplink

Meraki MG21E cellular gateway 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.
