No more dead zones outdoors!
Poor WiFi coverage outdoors is an annoyance many are familiar with. Whether in a spacious garden, on company premises, or in remote areas – a weak or even absent signal can significantly limit productivity and comfort. Conventional WiFi Routers and Access Points are often not designed for harsh outdoor conditions and fail to meet the requirements for range and robustness. This leads to frustration and inefficient use of your Network. We'll show you how to solve this problem once and for all.
Robustness Meets Performance: Your Outdoor WiFi Upgrade
With the MikroTik Metal 52 ac, this problem is a thing of the past. This device (model RBMetalG-52SHPacn) was specially developed by MikroTik for outdoor use and provides you with outstanding WiFi performance, even under the most adverse conditions. Its fully sealed metal housing with IP55 certification reliably protects the sensitive electronics from dust, water, and extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C. So you can rely on a consistently stable and fast connection, whether in bright sunshine or a snowstorm. This is the robust solution you need for your outdoor Network.
Power Under the Hood: Dual-Band and Gigabit Speed for Your Network
The MikroTik Metal 52 ac is a true multi-talent. It supports the fast 802.11ac standard and offers you the flexibility to choose between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. With a maximum data rate of 433 Mbit/s and a Gigabit Ethernet Port, bottlenecks are a thing of the past. The integrated dual-band omni-antenna with 6 dBi (2.4 GHz) and 8 dBi (5 GHz) ensures wide-ranging and uniform 360-degree coverage, ideal for use as an Access Point, backbone, or CPE. The powerful QCA9556 CPU with 720 MHz and 64 MB RAM, combined with RouterOS License Level 4, also enables advanced network management functions, as you would expect from a professional MikroTik Router.
Easy Installation, Maximum Flexibility
The installation of the MikroTik Metal 52 ac is extremely simple. Thanks to Passive PoE (Power over Ethernet), you only need a single cable for power and data, which significantly simplifies outdoor Cabling. Its versatile applications as a WiFi Access Point, for creating point-to-point connections, or as a client device (CPE) make it the perfect choice for a variety of scenarios. Benefit from a robust, powerful, and flexible WiFi device that exceeds your expectations for outdoor connectivity and creates a reliable network infrastructure for you.
