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 24x7 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.
Product Highlights
- Built in 5G SA/NSAÂ Sub6 LTEÂ CAT20
- Cloud managed eSIM
- Dual SIM supportÂ
- Supports 2 separate downstream Ethernet connections
- Small form factor
- PoE+ or DC powered
- IP67 rating
- Optional Patch antenna (MG52E)
- Manageability from the Cisco Meraki dashboard
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.

Use Cases
Note that the following use cases refer to using a Meraki MX appliance with the MG52/E as a WAN uplink. However, the use cases can also apply to non-Meraki devices.
-
Antenna placement where cellular coverage is best
-
Signal strength is key for cellular performance. The MG52/E makes cellular a viable option in situations where high bandwidth or throughput is needed or locations where 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 deployed in a data center or medium/large branch location. The 4 x 4 DL MIMO is capable of supporting deployments that demand higher throughput capacity.
-
-
Primary WAN
-
In areas where wired internet services are not available or wired connectivity takes too long or is expensive, the MG52/E provides a simple, viable option for wireless WAN connectivity.
-
-
Secondary WAN for Failover
-
An MX’s primary or secondary WAN interface connected to an MG52/E may use the cellular network for both primary and secondary uplinks
-
-
Primary/Secondary WAN for SD-WAN
-
An MX with an MG52/E as a primary and/or secondary WAN uplink may use the cellular network to establish VPNs for SD-WAN.
-
-
High Availability Uplink
-
The MG52/E 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.
-
What do I need?
You need a SIM card (or 2 to connect to an alternative carrier) with data for your region and you need to power the MG51 via PoE or local 12V adapter.
The output is an unfiltered internet feed on 1GbE ethernet cable. Plug this into the WAN port of your firewall.
The SIM card and contract are not provided.
