Overview:

Connectivity is critical for any organization that depends on reliable internet access in order to function. Wireless WAN connectivity options, such as cellular networks, serve as a reliable backup internet uplink in the event of a primary uplink failure.

The MG21 cellular gateway simplifies the path to wireless WAN connectivity and makes cellular a viable uplink option for many networks. The MG21 acts as a gateway to cellular networks by converting LTE signal from a cellular provider to an Ethernet handoff, which can be used as an internet uplink for a variety of use-cases.

Ready for a Unified Experience

Use Cases:

Antenna placement where cellular coverage is best

Signal strength is key for cellular performance. The MG21 makes cellular a viable option in situations where the best location for 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 mounted in a data center.

Primary WAN

In areas where wired internet services are not available, the MG21 provides a simple, viable option for wireless WAN connectivity.

Secondary WAN for Failover

An MX's secondary WAN interface connected to an MG21 may use the cellular network in the event of a primary uplink failure.

Secondary WAN for SD-WAN

An MX with an MG21 as a secondary WAN uplink may use the cellular network to establish VPNs for SD-WAN.

High Availability Uplink

The MG21 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.

Note that the following use-cases refer to using a Meraki MX appliance with the MG21 as a WAN uplink. However, the use-cases can also apply to non-Meraki devices.
