The Hub for Your Outdoor Network
The OmniTik 5 PoE is far more than just an Access Point – it's the heart of your outdoor installation. Imagine it as a central base station on a pole or roof. From there, it establishes a stable 360° WiFi Network, for example, to supply multiple SXT clients. But the real highlight is the four PoE-Out ports: Connect up to four PoE-capable devices like IP Cameras or other WiFi Bridge Sets directly to the OmniTik. It powers them with electricity and data via a single Network cable. This saves you separate power supplies, reduces cable clutter, and makes installation incredibly clean and efficient.
Full Control with MikroTik RouterOS
This device runs the legendary MikroTik RouterOS with a powerful Level 5 license. This means for you: You have full control. Set up complex Firewall rules, build secure VPN tunnels, prioritize data traffic with Quality of Service (QoS), or create a professional Hotspot Gateway. For demanding Point-to-Multipoint scenarios, the proprietary MikroTik Nv2 TDMA protocol optimizes throughput and stability. Yes, configuration requires familiarization, but the enormous flexibility is invaluable for professionals and ambitious users.
Built for Any Weather: The OmniTik 5 PoE in Detail
The OmniTik was uncompromisingly developed for outdoor use. Its robust, weatherproof plastic housing withstands the elements and is tested for an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. Whether icy winter or hot summer, this device continues to operate reliably. A pole clamp is already included in the scope of delivery, so you can immediately attach the Access Point to a pipe or pole. The integrated LEDs provide you with information about the device's status directly on site.
Connectivity and Smart Features
In addition to the five 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet Ports, one of which serves as a PoE input and four as PoE output, the OmniTik 5 PoE offers a practical USB 2.0 port. This is particularly useful for connecting a 3G/4G USB modem and thus setting up a backup internet connection (failover). If your main line fails, the system automatically switches to mobile communication. This makes the OmniTik the perfect choice for reliable and redundant installations in the field of `MikroTik Wireless Systems` and as an addition for `4G / 5G Routers`.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The integrated PoE Switch powers up to four other devices and drastically reduces Cabling effort.
- Pro: The extremely flexible RouterOS with Level 5 license enables professional configurations (Firewall, VPN, QoS, etc.).
- Pro: The robust and weatherproof design is conceived for continuous and reliable outdoor use.
- Pro: The combination of 7.5 dBi Omni-Antennas and Nv2 protocol makes it an ideal base station for Point-to-Multipoint setups.
- Note: The 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet Ports and the Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) standard are technically no longer current and can become a bottleneck.
- Note: RouterOS configuration is complex and requires some familiarization time and Network knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the MikroTik OmniTik 5 PoE primarily used for?
It is typically used as a central outdoor base station (Access Point) to provide a 360° WiFi signal for other devices. Thanks to its PoE-Out function, it is ideal for installations on roofs or masts to power and connect IP Cameras or other WiFi Bridge Sets from there.
What is the difference between the RBOmniTikUPA-5HnD and newer 'ac' models?
The UPA-5HnD model supports the older Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) standard with 10/100 Mbps ports. Newer 'ac' models support the faster Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard and feature Gigabit Ethernet Ports, leading to significantly higher data throughput.
Can I also power 48V devices with the OmniTik 5 PoE?
No, this model has a maximum input voltage of 30V and outputs the same voltage. Therefore, it can only power devices compatible with passive PoE up to 30V. Newer models support higher voltages, often with dedicated PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Do I need special knowledge to configure the device?
Yes, basic knowledge of Network technology is strongly recommended. Configuration via the WinBox software or the web interface is very extensive and not intended for simple 'plug-and-play' use.
Is everything included for mounting?
Yes, the package includes the OmniTik AP, a PoE Injector, a 24V Power Supply, and a pole clamp for Mounting Systems on a mast or pipe.
Can I connect a 4G modem for a backup internet connection?
Yes, the USB port supports connecting many 3G/4G USB modems. A failover configuration can be set up via MikroTik Routers' RouterOS to automatically switch to mobile broadband in case of an outage.
