Cisco Meraki Access Point Licensing
Subscription Licensing: Meraki subscription licensing is device agnostic, so you license a whole product category rather than a specific model or device. If you upgrade your device, the license moves with you. Crucially, only subscription licensing included 'amber mode' which means that the device still passes traffic after license expiry, albeit without dashboard management.
Co-Termination Licensing: With Meraki co-termination licensing, unlike other Cisco Meraki products the Meraki Access Point licensing is also category-wide (you do not need to individually license different devices or models). The end date of all Cisco Meraki licenses is co-terminated organisation wide. However, it does not offer 'amber mode'.

Cisco Meraki Cloud Managed Access Point
Cisco Meraki Cloud Managed Access Point devices provide convenient cloud management from the Cisco Meraki Dashboard using a web browser. This is the same as any other Cisco Meraki devices in your organisation.
This also means that unlike many similar solutions, in order to add a Cisco Meraki Wireless Access Point to your network you do not need to configure a separate wireless controller in your office.
With a Cisco Meraki dashboard organisation and network, you can begin to configure Meraki access point deployments before the equipment is even installed. If you are unsure how to configure Meraki access point solutions, then we are the perfect partner for you.
Meraki Site Survey
Meraki Site Survey can be challenging and the good news is we are one of a limited selection of Cisco Meraki Partners that use Ekahau AI Pro. This software allows us to create a predictive Meraki wireless site survey using your building plans to complete an Ekahau Site Survey.
This will indicate how many Meraki access points you need and where. Whether you need a survey for a warehouse in London or an office in the UK, our accurate heatmaps prevent dead zones.
Meraki MR
Meraki MR is the model designation given to Meraki Access Point devices. Meraki MR access points include many different Meraki wireless access point models depending on speed, density, environmental, and other factors.
Contact us for advice on the Cisco Meraki MR range and we will help you to pick the right models within the Meraki MR series based on your individual requirements.
Meraki Access Point Models
Meraki Access Point models cover a wide range of requirements. These include Meraki indoor access points, various Cisco Meraki outdoor access point options, and solutions for general coverage as well as high density Meraki access point models. We can help you to compare Meraki access point options to make the best choice.
Some models have built-in omnidirectional antennas, and some even offer various external antenna options. These can accommodate requirements such as patch or sector based coverage. A Meraki directional access point can be great for things like warehouse WiFi, for example.
Meraki Directional Access Point
A Meraki directional access point gives you significant flexibility to cover a specific area for longer range or avoiding channel overlap. There are numerous patch and sector based antenna options, and we have had great success with these in environments such as Warehouse WiFi.
Choosing the right Cisco Meraki Access Point
Cisco Meraki access points cover a wide variety of requirements including everything from small office WiFi, to large office WiFi, school WiFi, college WiFi, university WiFi, warehouse WiFi, outdoor WiFi, retail WiFi, conference WiFi, stadium WiFi, and more.

Every Cisco Meraki access point requires a valid cloud management license. These are model-agnostic, meaning a single MR Enterprise license can be applied to any Meraki AP in your organization, providing maximum flexibility for hardware refreshes.
The CW prefix indicates the newest Cisco Wireless hardware capable of native Meraki cloud management (Dual-Persona), while the MR prefix represents the dedicated Meraki-only hardware line. Both are managed natively via the Meraki Dashboard.
