Your Fiber Optic Alternative: Gigabit Speed over 60 GHz
Are you looking for a powerful alternative to expensive fiber optic cables? The MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro Link Set is your answer! This innovative kit offers you fiber-like speed and stability by utilizing the 60 GHz wireless link band. With the advanced 802.11ay standard, you effortlessly achieve Gigabit Ethernet throughput and extremely high bandwidth. Imagine connecting two buildings on your campus or in an industrial park over distances of up to 2.4 km (with Channel 5* support), without complex cable laying. This is not only cost-efficient but also incredibly fast and efficient. The low latency makes it the perfect solution for data-intensive applications and expanding your Network.
Always Online: Intelligent Failover for Maximum Reliability
What happens if heavy rain or snowfall affects the 60 GHz wireless link? No worries! The MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro is equipped with an intelligent, automatic 5 GHz failover (backup connection). Should the primary 60 GHz connection weaken due to weather conditions, the system seamlessly switches to the integrated 5 GHz WLAN (802.11ac) without your intervention. A powerful directional Antenna in the 5 GHz range ensures the stability of the backup connection. This way, you enjoy nearly 100% uptime and maximum operational reliability, even under the most demanding conditions. This makes it the ideal wireless bridge for critical infrastructures or temporary high-speed connections on construction sites.
Simplicity Meets Robustness: Plug-and-Play for Professionals
The MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro impresses not only with its performance but also with its thoughtful design. The compact cube design with a strong metal base ensures improved cooling and offers flexible mounting options. It blends discreetly into any environment and is extremely robust, designed to withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to 70°C. Best of all: The set is pre-configured (Plug-and-Play). You simply unpack it, align the two units with each other, and power them on – and your high-speed connection is established. A true Plug-and-Play solution for professionals and beginners alike who need a fast Point-to-Point (PtP) connection.
Future-Proof and Flexible with RouterOS Level 4
With the MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro, you are investing in a future-proof Network solution. The integrated MikroTik RouterOS Level 4 license not only allows you to use the set as a classic Point-to-Point (PtP) connection but also as a base station for more complex Point-to-Multipoint scenarios. This means enormous flexibility for future expansions and adaptations of your infrastructure. Whether you want to Network a small office or connect a larger facility – this set grows with your requirements and offers you the necessary performance and reliability. The powerful IPQ-4019 CPU and 256 MB RAM ensure smooth operation.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Fiber-like Speed and Stability: Offers Gigabit throughput over the 60 GHz frequency with the advanced 802.11ay standard, enabling extremely high bandwidth and very low latency for demanding network applications.
- Pro: Easy Plug-and-Play Installation: The kit is pre-configured, so the two devices only need to be aligned with each other and powered on to establish an instant, encrypted wireless connection. This saves time and installation costs.
- Pro: High Reliability with 5 GHz Failover: Equipped with an automatic 5 GHz backup connection and a powerful directional Antenna. This feature ensures uninterrupted connectivity, even if the 60 GHz connection is affected by bad weather conditions (e.g., heavy rain).
- Note: Vulnerability of 60 GHz Frequency to Weather Conditions: Although a 5 GHz failover is integrated, the primary 60 GHz connection can be affected by heavy precipitation (rain, snow) or fog, leading to an automatic switch to the slower 5 GHz backup connection.
- Note: Requires Strict Line-of-Sight: For optimal performance and maximum range of the 60 GHz connection, an absolutely clear line-of-sight between the two devices is essential. Obstacles such as trees, buildings, or even dense foliage can severely impair signal quality or interrupt the connection.
