Boundless Connectivity for Your Outdoor Network
Imagine being able to bring your Network exactly where you need it – without compromising on stability and speed. The MikroTik NetMetal 5 SHP (RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM) makes it possible. Whether you want to establish a reliable wireless point-to-point connection over medium distances between two buildings where cable laying is impractical, or you need large-area outdoor WiFi coverage for your event site, campsite, or industrial facility – this device is your specialist. It also serves excellently as a powerful CPE or as a small base station for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP) who want to connect customers in rural or hard-to-reach areas. The integrated SFP cage even opens up the option of a direct fiber optic connection, which enormously expands the flexibility of your Network infrastructure.
Maximum Performance with 802.11ac and RouterOS
At the heart of the NetMetal 5 SHP beats a powerful 5GHz Wireless radio that supports the modern 802.11ac standard (also known as Wi-Fi 5). With a maximum data rate of 867 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz band, you are well equipped for demanding applications. The Dual-Chain architecture ensures improved signal quality and higher throughputs. But that's not all: The pre-installed RouterOS Level 4 license transforms the device into a real powerhouse. You get access to a wealth of network functions – from complex routing protocols to a flexible firewall, VPN servers, and Quality of Service (QoS). This deep configuration capability makes the NetMetal 5 SHP the first choice for network professionals who want to optimize their system down to the last detail.
Indestructible and Weatherproof – Your Partner for Extreme Conditions
When it comes to outdoor use, one thing counts above all: reliability. The MikroTik NetMetal 5 SHP is housed in a robust metal casing that is not only extremely durable but also provides effective passive cooling for the high-performance radio. With IP54 certification, it is waterproof and dust-protected, so it withstands even extreme weather conditions. Whether scorching sun or icy cold – the device functions reliably in a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. This longevity and the ability to perform under adverse circumstances make it the ideal Outdoor WiFi AP for any environment, from the Antarctic to the Sahara.
Flexible Connectivity and Easy Integration
The connectivity of the NetMetal 5 SHP leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the powerful 5GHz Wireless module, it features a Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling a fast and reliable cable connection. The integrated SFP cage is a real highlight, as it allows you to directly connect to fiber optic networks – ideal for Backbone-Links or integration into modern infrastructures. Power is supplied simply and efficiently via Passive PoE (Power over Ethernet) with an input voltage of 8-30 V DC, which significantly simplifies installation, as only a single cable is needed for data and power. Furthermore, a USB Type A port offers additional flexibility for extensions or external storage solutions. The two RP-SMA connectors for external Antennas complete the package and allow you to precisely adjust the radio coverage – for example, with special 5 GHz Components.
