Its robust design and ability to operate under extreme weather conditions (weatherproof IP54) make it a reliable solution for industrial or infrastructure projects. Connect your critical devices over long distances and maintain control, no matter how remote the location. The Directional Antenna ensures focused and interference-free transmission.
Your RouterOS v7 Advantage: Control and Security
With the pre-installed RouterOS v7, you get not just a device, but a comprehensive network management system. This powerful operating system offers advanced features such as dynamic routing, a flexible firewall, VPN options, and precise bandwidth management. This gives you full control over your long-range connection and allows you to optimally adapt it to your needs. Integrated WPA3 security protects your wireless connections from unauthorized access. And thanks to the Gigabit Ethernet port, the wired connection is also future-proof and fast, powered via PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Excellent range and throughput through Wi-Fi 6 and 27 dBi Antenna: The combination of the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and a high-gain 27 dBi Directional Antenna enables extremely long Point-to-Point (PtP) Links (up to 30 km) with high data rates of up to 1200 Mbit/s, even in environments with many interferences.
- Pro: Robust design and weather resistance: The device is designed for outdoor use, features a UV-resistant housing, a grid antenna with low wind resistance, and is IP54-certified for dust and water protection. It operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
- Pro: Comprehensive RouterOS v7 features and WPA3 security: With RouterOS v7, it offers advanced network functions such as dynamic routing, firewall, VPN, and bandwidth management. Integrated WPA3 encryption ensures high security for wireless connections.
- Note: 5 GHz Band only: The device operates only in the 5 GHz Band, which is optimal for directional radio links but does not offer flexibility for 2.4 GHz applications and requires a clear line of sight.
- Note: Passive PoE implementation: Although a PoE Injector and Power Supply are included, the device supports Passive PoE (12-28V) and not the more universal 802.3af/at standard, which may limit compatibility with some standard PoE switches.
