MG21 is a Meraki cellular gateway device. It will allow customers to use Meraki gear with cellular as a primary active uplink. MG21 only has a cellular connection as its uplink and acts as a wired uplink to devices that are attached to it (i.e., MX or any other router). MG21 can work with any routing device, Meraki or non-Meraki. With additional 802.3af compatibility, the MG can be placed anywhere and powered via power over ethernet (PoE) like any access point. This gives users the option for optimal physical placement for signal quality – a cornerstone for wireless WAN communications.
