Say goodbye to slow outdoor links
Do you know the problem: You want to network two buildings, connect a remote area, or share your internet with neighboring infrastructure, but traditional WiFi solutions quickly reach their limits? Long distances, interference, and outdated standards often lead to slow connections, high latencies, and frustrating outages. This costs not only time, but also nerves and productivity. With the MikroTik LHG 5 ax, these problems are a thing of the past.
Maximum Range and Performance thanks to Wi-Fi 6
The MikroTik LHG 5 ax is your game-changer for long-range wireless connections. This innovative Outdoor CPE utilizes the advantages of the modern Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard to offer you a new dimension of connectivity. The integrated 24.5 dBi grid antenna ensures extremely high directivity and enables stable point-to-point links over distances of up to 20 kilometers. Experience impressive performance that convinces even in environments with many interference signals.
Technical Details that Impress
At the heart of the LHG 5 ax beats a powerful Dual-Core IPQ-5010 processor with 800 MHz and 256 MB RAM, ensuring smooth processing of even large amounts of data. The Gigabit Ethernet Port with Passive PoE-In (12-28V) allows for easy installation and power supply via a single cable, minimizing cabling effort. With RouterOS v7, you get an operating system with comprehensive functions for routing, firewall, and VPN, while WPA3 encryption optimally protects your data. A true Network powerhouse!
Why Wi-Fi 6 is the Game-Changer for Outdoor Links
The 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6, brings crucial improvements for long-range wireless connections. These include better spectral efficiency, higher modulation rates (1024-QAM), and lower latency. This means for you: stronger performance even in environments with many interference signals and faster, more stable connections over longer distances. The MikroTik LHG 5 ax is thus optimally equipped for the challenges of modern WiFi Routers and offers you an investment that pays off in the long run.
