The Cisco Meraki MR78 delivers reliable outdoor wireless for campuses and exposed sites that need simple cloud management and stable coverage. With Wi‑Fi 6 and Meraki Cloud management, it supports mobile devices and connected equipment while reducing on-site administration.
Outdoor connectivity now has to support mobile users, operational devices and remote oversight without adding avoidable site visits or management load.
Cisco Meraki MR78 is a cloud-managed outdoor access point for yards, terraces, depots and other exposed areas that need simple, reliable wireless. It uses WiFi 6 and is intended for environments where indoor hardware is not a practical fit. The Meraki Cloud platform gives infrastructure teams central management across distributed sites.
The MR78 suits locations that need straightforward IP-rated outdoor Wi-Fi rather than specialist antenna design or higher throughput. With support for up to 100 recommended clients, it provides a practical fit for everyday outdoor workloads and limited cable runs.
In production use, that means stable connectivity for scanners, mobile devices and yard or site users, with remote visibility that reduces local intervention. It also helps teams align wireless coverage to the actual outdoor footprint, without overbuilding the platform.
