Imagine being able to seamlessly connect two remote locations without having to lay expensive cables. With the MikroTik LHG 5 ax, this vision becomes a reality. This powerful Wireless Point-to-Point CPE is specifically designed to provide you with a reliable wireless bridge over long distances. The combination of the high-gain 24.5 dBi Antenna and the modern Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard in the 5 GHz Outdoor band enables stable Point-to-Point (PtP) connections of up to 20 kilometers. Whether you want to expand a campus Network, connect corporate locations, or integrate remote infrastructure – the LHG 5 ax delivers the performance you expect.
Wi-Fi 6: The Turbo for Your Outdoor Connections
Why is Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) so crucial for your Long-Range Wireless projects? It's simple: this standard is a real game-changer for the efficiency and speed of your wireless links. It offers improved spectral efficiency, higher modulation rates (1024-QAM), and significantly lower latency. For you, this means faster data transmission, more stable connections, and better performance, even in environments with many interfering signals. Your MikroTik LHG 5 ax fully utilizes these advantages to offer you a future-proof solution for your IT_Network that also excels in demanding applications such as video transmission or VoIP.
Robust, Flexible, Professional: Your Reliable Outdoor CPE
The MikroTik LHG 5 ax is not only fast but also extremely robust. As a true Outdoor CPE, it is housed in a weather-resistant, IP54-certified Enclosure and withstands temperatures from -40°C to +70°C. Installation is incredibly easy thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet): a single Ethernet Cable supplies the device with power and data. Inside, a powerful Dual-Core CPU (IPQ-5010 with 800 MHz) and 256 MB RAM drive the versatile RouterOS v7. This operating system offers comprehensive functions for dynamic routing, bandwidth management, firewall, and VPN, allowing you to professionally configure and manage your Network. The integrated WPA3 Encryption ensures maximum data security.
Application Examples: Where the LHG 5 ax Shines
The application possibilities of the MikroTik LHG 5 ax are diverse and impressive. Imagine you are a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) and want to provide high-speed internet to customers in rural areas – the LHG 5 ax serves as an ideal Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for stable 'last-mile' connections. Or you need to wirelessly integrate remote IP Cameras or IoT sensors into your central Network; its robust design and long range make it the perfect solution. This Wireless Point-to-Point CPE is also the first choice for simple and cost-effective bridging of long distances between two buildings, for example, on a sprawling company premises. Discover the freedom of wireless connectivity!
