Description
Overview
Reliable internet access is vital for the smooth operation of any organization. In cases of primary uplink failure, wireless WAN connectivity options, like cellular networks, have traditionally served as a dependable backup for ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.
MG52 cellular gateway is a 5G StandAlone (SA)/ Non-StandAlone (NSA) device which enables the delivery of high-speed internet access with low latency and increased capacity. The use of standalone 5G allows for the full realization of 5G’s potential, including advanced features like network slicing, which allows the creation of virtualized, dedicated slices of the network tailored for specific applications or services.
MG52/E is compatible with both Meraki and non-Meraki security appliances, routing, or switching devices by leveraging Ethernet and IP-based protocols. Its additional 802.3AT compatibility allows it to be positioned anywhere by using power over Ethernet (PoE), similar to any access point. This flexibility gives users the choice of an ideal physical placement to optimize signal quality, a crucial factor in wireless WAN communications.
MG series and Meraki Cloud Management: A Powerful Combo
All Meraki devices are managed via the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface. The MG series are self-configuring and managed over the web, and can be rapidly deployed at remote locations without any assistance from end-users.
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.

The MG52/E cellular gateway uses 6 to 8 megabytes a day of data for telemetry on dashboard and connection monitoring when the unit is idle. Any additional devices that are downstream of the MG52/E may increase data usage. Cisco Meraki products are cloud connected devices that report telemetry into Dashboard for network monitoring purposes. The usage will be reduced in future firmware updates.
