Hi All, I am planning to implement a Wi-Fi solution for 2 remote locations where cabling is not permitted.
My plan is to build a Meraki wireless network in each location by installing one MR86 Access Point with MG Cellular Gateway to provide Internet connectivity. In this scenario, the wi-fi client devices will be barcode scanners (android) that use to scan tags on packages to be shipped. These devices need a secure internet connection to communicate with their cloud-based ERP system. So, I thought of integrating with Cisco Umbrells secure Internet Gateway in order to meet the security requirements, firewall functions, IPS/IDS, L7 application filtering, URL filtering etc. for each of those individual networks. However, there are a few things I need to clarify.

Hello.
Isn't it enough to just combine MX67C-HW (cellular model) and MR or MX68CW-HW (cellular and Wi-Fi model)?

The Umbrella SIG deployment will be designed with MX in mind.

Hi, thank you very much for the info.
The reason for choosing the cellular gateway over the MX67C is its dual SIM and automatic SIM failover capability to achieve higher availability.
A directional antenna is to be used as the area requires extensive Wi-Fi coverage, so the coverage provided by the MX68CW may not be sufficient.
Yes, if there is a method to achieve higher availability with MX67C-HW, it will be more suitable for this requirement.
Regard.

Hello.
it's okay, I got it. If you do, then you can add MX as an introductory guide.
