Your High-Speed Network for Outdoors: The MikroTik OmniTik 5 ac
Are you looking for a powerful solution to take your Network to the next level outdoors? The MikroTik OmniTik 5 ac is designed exactly for that! This robust 802.11ac Outdoor WiFi Access Point not only provides you with lightning-fast 5 GHz WiFi but also functions as a versatile interface for your wired devices thanks to its five Gigabit Ethernet Switch ports. Whether for extensive company premises, campsites, or reliable connection of remote building parts – with the OmniTik 5 ac, you create a stable and future-proof infrastructure. It is ideal for comprehensive WiFi coverage in gardens, parks, or at outdoor events where central coverage for mobile devices is required. You can also use it as a Wireless Bridge or CPE to connect remote locations or IoT devices over longer distances.
Maximum Performance and Range in the 5 GHz Band
Experience a whole new dimension of outdoor connectivity! The MikroTik OmniTik 5 ac operates exclusively in the 5 GHz WiFi frequency band and supports 802.11a/n/ac standards. With a maximum data rate of 867 Mbit/s and Dual Chain Wireless, it is perfect for bandwidth-intensive applications such as HD streaming or online gaming. The integrated omnidirectional Antenna with 7.5 dBi Antenna gain ensures 360-degree signal distribution and excellent coverage. Please note, however, that the effective range for mobile devices may be limited due to their lower transmit power. Since the device only operates in the 5 GHz band, compatibility with older 2.4 GHz devices is not given, and signal penetration through obstacles may be reduced. Nevertheless, this WiFi Access Point offers outstanding performance for modern applications.
RouterOS Level 4 and Versatile Connectivity Options
The MikroTik OmniTik 5 ac is more than just a WiFi Access Point – it is a complete Network solution. Equipped with a powerful MIPSBE CPU and 128 MB RAM, it offers you extensive routing, switching, and management functions with RouterOS Level 4. The five Gigabit Ethernet Switch ports allow you to connect not only wireless clients but also wired devices such as outdoor PCs or specialized sensors. Power is conveniently supplied via Passive PoE Input (12-57 V) on Port 1, which significantly simplifies installation as only a single cable is required. It is important to know that this model does not offer PoE output functionality on ports 2-5 to power other devices. An integrated USB port also allows the connection of a 3G/4G/4G surf stick for reliable internet fallback.
Your Questions, Our Answers: All About the OmniTik 5 ac
Are you wondering if the MikroTik OmniTik 5 ac is the right Weatherproof Access Point for your needs? Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions: The main difference from the OmniTik 5 PoE ac is that our model (RBOmniTikG-5HacD) does not offer PoE output functionality on Ethernet ports 2-5, but only Passive PoE Input for its own Power Supply. Yes, it is absolutely suitable for outdoor use, thanks to its weatherproof casing and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. It supports WLAN standards 802.11a/n/ac in the 5 GHz WiFi frequency band. You get five 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast wired connections. A RouterOS Level 4 license is included in the scope of delivery. And no, this specific model cannot power other devices via PoE.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Robust and weatherproof: The device features a specially designed, weatherproof outdoor casing that allows operation at extreme temperatures from -40°C to 70°C.
- Pro: High WiFi performance: With support for 802.11ac and Dual Chain Wireless 5 GHz, it offers a maximum data rate of 867 Mbit/s, ensuring fast and efficient connectivity for modern applications such as HD streaming and online gaming.
- Pro: Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Switch and RouterOS Level 4: Five Gigabit Ethernet ports and RouterOS license level 4 provide advanced routing, switching, and management functions, making the device a versatile solution for complex network requirements.
- Note: No PoE output function: Unlike the 'OmniTIK 5 PoE ac' model, this specific version (OmniTik 5 ac, RBOmniTikG-5HacD) does not offer PoE output functionality on Ethernet ports 2-5 to power other devices. It only supports Passive PoE Input for its own Power Supply.
- Note: Range for mobile devices: Despite the high Antenna gain of 7.5 dBi antenna, the effective range for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) may be limited, as their transmit power and antenna gain are generally significantly lower, and the connection depends on the weakest link in the chain.
- Note: 5 GHz band only: The device operates exclusively in the 5 GHz WiFi frequency band. There is no support for the 2.4 GHz band, which may limit compatibility with older WiFi devices and reduce signal penetration through obstacles (walls, trees) compared to 2.4 GHz.
