Fiber-Optic Speed Without Cables: The 60 GHz Sector Access Point
The MikroTik CubeSA 60Pro ac is more than just an Access Point – it's your ticket to an interference-free and extremely fast outdoor Network. By utilizing the 60 GHz frequency band and the state-of-the-art 802.11ay standard, you leave the congested 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands behind. The result is a stable, low-latency connection with massive data throughput that feels like a direct fiber-optic line. Ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, large data transfers, or connecting areas where Cabling is not an option.
Maximum Reliability through Automatic 5 GHz Failover
What happens when the weather doesn't cooperate? The 60 GHz band is known for its susceptibility to heavy rain ('Rain Fade'). MikroTik has integrated the perfect solution for this: an automatic 5 GHz failover. Should the primary 60 GHz connection be compromised, the system intelligently and seamlessly switches to the more robust 5 GHz backup connection. This keeps your Network online, and you don't have to worry about outages. As soon as conditions allow, the device automatically switches back to full 60 GHz performance, leveraging both 60 GHz Components and 5 GHz Components.
Robust Outdoor Design for All Weather
This Access Point was designed for harsh outdoor use. The IP54 rated casing reliably protects the high-quality technology from dust and splashing water. The extreme operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C guarantees stable operation in icy cold and summer heat. A special highlight is the new, solid metal base: It not only ensures rock-solid Mounting Systems, but also significantly improves the passive cooling of the device, increasing its lifespan and performance. As part of the proven MikroTik Wireless Systems, it is an investment in durability.
Point-to-Multipoint: Perfect for Events, Construction Sites & Campus Networks
The CubeSA 60Pro ac is optimized as a central distribution point (Access Point) for Point-to-Multipoint scenarios. With its integrated 60° sector Antenna, it can simultaneously supply multiple client devices, such as the MikroTik Cube 60Pro ac, in a defined area. This makes it the ideal choice for temporary internet supply at festivals and construction sites, connecting buildings on a company premises, or supplying pop-up stores. These specialized 60 GHz Components enable flexible and scalable Network solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the ideal application for the MikroTik CubeSA 60Pro ac?
It is ideal for wirelessly supplying multiple locations from a central point (Point-to-Multipoint). Typical applications include temporary internet provision at events, construction sites, pop-up clinics, or for connecting buildings on a company premises over medium distances (up to 600m) using a robust Network.
What does '5 GHz Failover' mean and how does it work?
'5 GHz Failover' is an automatic backup function. If the primary, very fast 60 GHz connection fails due to interference (mostly weather-related), the device seamlessly activates the secondary 5 GHz connection to prevent a complete Network outage.
Do I need to apply for a license to use the 60 GHz band?
The 60 GHz band can be used license-free in most regions, including the EU and the USA. However, it is recommended to check local regulations and provisions, as there may be regional differences for your Network setup.
Which devices can I connect with the CubeSA 60Pro ac?
You can connect multiple 60 GHz-capable client devices (CPEs) that support the 802.11ay or 802.11ad standard. The ideal counterpart from the same product line is the MikroTik Cube 60Pro ac, which functions as a MikroTik Access Point.
Is installation and alignment complicated?
Installation requires a precise Line-of-Sight between the Access Point and the clients. However, MikroTik's RouterOS offers special alignment tools to find the best possible signal for your Network. The mounting itself has been simplified by the improved bracket, making it easier to set up WiFi Access Points.
What is the advantage of the 802.11ay standard over older standards?
The 802.11ay standard is an evolution of 802.11ad. It enables higher speeds, greater range, and improved stability in the 60 GHz band. It also allows for more advanced features like Channel-Bonding for even greater throughput, enhancing your Network capabilities.
