Found this: From a SIM card format perspective, it's the same 4FF "nano" format SIM card (same size), the device does work on 4G band as well yes. Just like mobile phones, if you have 5G SIM+phone and there's no 5G in range it will fallback to 4G. If you’ve got a 5G device but only got a 4G SIM card, it will still provide signal and connectivity. https://meraki.cisco.com/product-collateral/mg-cellular-gateways/?file On the last line on the last page of this datasheet, there's a link to a detailed spreadsheet of Band compatibility – this will show everything in (a lot) of detail, per provider as well.

Hi We can now see the details online for the MG51, can anyone advise the release date for this model please. My customer is UK based and has asked the question, so EMEA region release dates would be useful to know. https://documentation.meraki.com/MG/MG_Datasheets/Page_TitleMG51%2F%2F51E_Technical_Specifications Thanks Ian

Hi All I'm looking for a Table or any information on what Ethernet Cable Categories some of the newer and more Powerful Meraki AX Access Points need. This is in regards to potential refresh requirements of older installations of access points. The MR36 and MR44 may still work with Cat 4 or 5 Cable, but moving to the MR46 and MR56, do these need to have Cat5e or Cat6 feeding in to the AP from the Switch? Does any one have any confirmation or information on this please? Thanks ian

Hi Phil UK based, as is the customer i'm looking to help in this situation. Although i believe there is a little confusion on the customers behalf since i've logged this, i have the MS120-8LP at home at have explained that this wouldn't normally be racked on a wall in their environment anyway. They normally just place it in a small cabinet without the need to rack, so not sure i have a problem anyway more really. Happy to have any further feedback though. Thanks Phil

I got this back from aGVE case from Cisco too, thanks for adding to this: The mounting brackets are delivered in the box with the device. There is no dedicated part number under which they can be ordered separately. We do not have compatible spares which we can propose if the client wants to have additionally only the brackets. If the client would prefer to mount the device in a rack, they would require an extra third-party shelf: https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/MS_Installation_Guides/MS120-8_Series_Installation_Guide#Installation_Instructions For example shelf like this one: https://www.allfirewalls.de/Marken/Rackmount-IT/CisRack/RM-CI-T3-Rackmount-IT-Rack-Mount-Kit-fuer-Cisco-Meraki-MS120-8-MS120-8LP.html?pk_campaign=Shopping&pk_source=Googe%20Ads&pk_medium=SEM&pk_kwd=519fdfc2d97e62e2e7d084c38259c6bd&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxtDf7JKA7wIVyOJ3Ch0LAwN_EAQYASABEgLHkPD_BwE https://www.firewallracks.co.uk/RM-CI-T3.asp

HI, Currently in a situation where our client has moved kit around in their infrastructure and the mounting kits that came with the MS120-8FP-HW is missing. Is there a SKU for this kit that can be purchased through Cisco CCW please? It isn't available in the Installation Guide or Datasheets. Thanks Ian

Wishing you all a very positive 2020 ! I have some questions around the Meraki Learning Hub and what and where i should be looking at improving my skills with Meraki products, and hence have some questions. Is the ECMS1 and ECMS2 a Pre Requisite to the CMNA course? How do these courses differ? I have passed the CMNA course already, hence would i benefit from taking the additional ECMS1 and ECMS2 courses? When will the "Meraki Certification (Under Development)" become available, are there any time scales on this at all? Thanks Ian

Hello, A local business man and a good friend to a number of people i know required help to convert one of the walls in his new enterprise (local bar) to be entirely made of old VCR Tapes from old films... A lot of us chipped with our unwanted tapes hidden away somewhere and this was the outcome! The Video Tape Wall on Halloween Night

Although there will be some tangible hardware within your environment of course, the transformation to SD-WAN, Cloud Managed Environments and the domination of intellectual software management for entire customer platforms away from separately managed silos and environments is the basis of Digital Transformation moving forward. I like to use this as an example of how digital transformation will happen in the work place moving forward. Digital Transformation is something that we see in everyday life and many of us have already applied this in our day to day activities. We've moved from VHS, to DVD to BluRay and now Streaming is a way that people watch films, (or "box sets" if you like). It's happened, the change in that industry for home users has had a "digital transformation" which is now considered to be normal practice. Digital Transformation in the work place will also move and be part of every day life and best practice, how quickly we move our business' in that direction is naturally dependent on circumstance.

Hi A client is looking at moving MX68CW, MS225 and MR42 out of the UK to Qatar, will this have any effect on the Lifetime Hardware Warranty? And will Meraki NOW also work in Qatar as well? I can see from the Meraki Contact page that Qatar is an options, however on the below link, Qatar is not an option... https://meraki.cisco.com/support/ Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out how LHW and Meraki NOW works in Qatar please? Thanks Ian

Worth note that some of the switches don't have the same naming convention as others, so you can't follow the same naming pattern for each switch type throughout the Meraki Switch portfolio. EG: MS120-8 Vs MS120-24: MS120-8 https://meraki.cisco.com/products/switches/ms120-8 MS120-24 https://meraki.cisco.com/products/switches/ms120-24 Under Product Highlights in each section where the Power/PoE is mentioned, it will tell you what the naming convention is for each switch. Once you've reviewed this, take a look at the Data Sheet at the bottom of each page and then you can study what is available for each seperate switch. Once you have this information, you can start to use the calculations that @AjitKumar and @BrechtSchamp have provided with you so far on PoE per switch. Don't just use P, LP and FP for every switch as it doesn't always work in that manner...

Agreed, you'll normally need approval through the AM at Cisco/Meraki for this as well, so all needs to be done step by step back through the channel so the AM can approve the RMA for you.

I've had this official detail back from the Cisco directly: "The MR74 is not compatible with the MA-ANT-23. This is the correct documentation for the MR74, https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_datasheet_MR74.pdf. The compatible and supported antennas are MA-ANT-20, MA-ANT-27 and MA-ANT-25 which can be seeing under page 6 on the link above. I'll use your experience and that of Cisco advise to go back to my customer with... Should any issues occur, concerned Cisco will not support the solution in place with a MA-ANT-23 in place. Many thanks, this has been useful. Cheers

Hi All, Looking for an official answer on the MR74 and the MA-ANT-23 antenna. Looking at the current on line Datasheet, this is not mentioned: MERAKI MR74 Datasheet However I've found an old one (attached), that does confirm that is is compatible (from 2017): It's a direct request from the customer, perhaps a solution used before, however double checking these things is good practice of course. The MR74 has 4x N-Type Connectors where as the MA-ANT-23 only has two cable N-Type Out connectors for the AP. Can anyone advise please? It may be the case the the MA-ANT-23 may work, however not advise due to reasons X, Y and Z. Thanks Ian
