BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile World Congress --Today at
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Cisco and T-Mobile announced plans
to offer businesses Cisco Meraki's first-ever 5G cellular gateways
for fixed wireless access (FWA), the MG51 and MG51E.
Considering the often lengthy and uncertain installation
timelines, gated and restrictive bandwidth plans and inconsistent
nationwide availability — wired broadband is hardly the ideal
solution for all businesses. Now, Cisco and T-Mobile are smashing
all these pain points. Thanks to this solution, businesses of all
sizes will be able to create enriching and differentiated
experiences for their customers using simplified, scalable, and
reliable network managed services powered by T-Mobile's 5G network
and the cloud-first Cisco Meraki platform.

to take advantage of the cloud-native Cisco Meraki platform on
America's largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network. The

zero-touch provisioning with no trained on-site support

experiences for customers and employees.

up.

at the network's edge with lower latency than 4G.
