Full Commercial Product Description

1. Radio R1: 5.2 GHz band for primary point-to-point bridge links;
2. Radio R2: 5.8 GHz band for secondary multi-hop mesh/PtMP backhaul links;
3. Radio R3: 2.4 GHz band for outdoor Wi‑Fi client coverage and local Meraki mesh AP interconnectionCisco Mera....

1. Dedicated Multi-Band Radios for Interference-Free Outdoor Bridging: Isolated 5.2GHz /5.8GHz frequency bands separate primary and secondary wireless backhaul links to avoid adjacent-channel RF interference, delivering stable low-latency P2P/PtMP connectivity over several kilometers with compatible high-gain directional antennas. The Meraki cloud dynamically optimizes transmit power, channel selection and rate adaptation based on real-time link quality and spectrum scan data.
2. 24/7 Air Marshal WIDS/WIPS & Continuous RF Spectrum Analytics: All three radios perform persistent background spectrum scanning across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to detect non-Wi‑Fi interference sources and unauthorized rogue wireless transmitters. Air Marshal provides real-time wireless threat detection, automatic rogue AP containment and cloud-hosted security forensic logging for compliance audits.
3. Self-Healing Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh & Wireless LAN Extension: MR58 units automatically establish multi-hop wireless mesh backhaul links to connect geographically separated buildings without laying physical fiber/Ethernet cabling. If the primary wired uplink or main P2P wireless bridge link fails, the AP seamlessly switches to alternate mesh radio links to preserve network connectivity, supporting load-balanced point-to-multipoint hub-and-spoke campus deployments.
4. Layer7 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Application-Aware QoS & Identity-Based Stateful Firewall: The integrated DPI engine classifies hundreds of distinct application-level traffic streams, including industrial control SCADA traffic, VoIP voice, video surveillance streams, cloud SaaS business applications and recreational streaming services. Network administrators configure granular QoS priority rules to prioritize latency-sensitive mission-critical industrial and enterprise communications while enforcing configurable bandwidth rate caps on non-essential traffic to eliminate link congestion over limited wireless backhaul bandwidth. Identity-aware firewall supports device-specific access control policies and integrates with enterprise Active Directory/LDAP/RADIUS identity databases for unified endpoint access management.
5. Dual Ethernet Ports for Converged Wired/Wireless Networking: ETH0 primary PoE uplink port delivers power to the AP and carries upstream network traffic to the core LAN. ETH1 secondary 10/100 Ethernet port acts as a local wired LAN extension port to connect remote industrial switches, IP cameras, outdoor workstations and IoT sensors at the remote site without additional network hardwareCisco Mera....

2. ETH1 Secondary Wired LAN Port: 10/100BASE-T auto-sensing RJ45 port, non-PoE, used to extend wired LAN connectivity to remote outdoor wired endpoints such as IP surveillance cameras, industrial control equipment and outdoor IoT gateways. This port operates as a local wired client port and cannot be configured as a primary uplinkCisco Mera....
3. Six N-Type Female External Antenna Connectors: Two N-type ports per radio (R1, R2, R3), fully detachable to support interchangeable high-gain directional, sector and omnidirectional external antennas for custom long-range bridge or wide-area coverage deployments. No built-in internal omnidirectional antennas are fitted to the MR58.
4. DC Power Input Jack: Auxiliary center-positive 12V DC power connector for alternative local power supply deployments where PoE injectors are unavailable; matching 12V DC external power adapter sold separately and not bundled with standard AP packaging.

Model Quick Reference

• MR58-HW: Base hardware SKU of Meraki MR58 three-radio 802.11n IP67 outdoor industrial cloud-managed AP with isolated 5.2/5.8/2.4GHz radios, six N-type external antenna ports, dual Ethernet ports and native P2P/PtMP long-range wireless bridging functionality
• Platform Differentiation vs Indoor MR Series (MR33/MR44/MR46/MR56 Wi‑Fi 5/Wi‑Fi 6 APs): All indoor MR models are designed for indoor high-density client coverage with built-in internal antennas and limited temperature operating ranges; MR58 is a dedicated outdoor industrial IP67 platform focused exclusively on long-distance wireless backhaul bridging, with three isolated non-overlapping 5GHz radio bands to avoid bridge link interference, wide extreme-temperature outdoor operation and external N-type antenna support for high-gain long-range directional antennas.
• Platform Distinction vs Meraki MR62/MR66 Outdoor Bridge APs: MR58 deploys three separate radios on three distinct frequency bands (5.2GHz,5.8GHz,2.4GHz) supporting simultaneous primary bridge, secondary multi-hop backhaul and local client Wi‑Fi coverage in a single unit; MR62/MR66 only include two 5GHz radios limited to wireless bridge backhaul without dedicated 2.4GHz client radio.
• Upgraded Alternatives: Meraki MR66 high-performance dual-radio outdoor 802.11ac bridge AP for higher-throughput long-range P2P links, Meraki CW9164 Wi‑Fi 6 outdoor access point for modern high-capacity outdoor client Wi‑Fi deployments
