Your invisible Gigabit cable: Easily connect buildings
The challenge of connecting two buildings can quickly become complex and costly. Laying fiber optic cables often involves high effort and significant costs. This is where the MikroTik RBwAPG-60adkit comes in: It is your perfect, wireless alternative that provides you with a Gigabit Ethernet replacement connection without physical cables. Imagine having an invisible, high-performance cable that seamlessly integrates into your existing Network and delivers full bandwidth. This kit is the ideal solution, for example, to connect two buildings on a campus or company premises with a fast, low-latency Point-to-Point connection, without having to lay expensive fiber optic cables.
Interference-free Performance thanks to 60 GHz Technology
Tired of overcrowded frequency bands? The MikroTik Wireless Wire Kit relies on the innovative 802.11ad standard in the 60 GHz Wireless Link band. This frequency is not used by conventional Wi-Fi devices and does not penetrate solid walls. For you, this means: an exclusive, interference-free radio channel that offers you an extremely low-latency and stable connection with up to full-duplex 1 Gbit/s. Whether large data volumes, video streaming, or VoIP – this system handles everything effortlessly. It is the perfect choice to create a wireless bridge for temporary offices, events, or construction sites where a fast and reliable Gigabit connection is needed over short to medium distances (up to 200m).
True Plug & Play: Ready to use in minutes
No complicated configuration, no IT degree necessary! The two compact, weatherproof wAP60G routers of the MikroTik RBwAPG-60adkit are already perfectly matched and pre-configured ex works. You only need to supply power to the devices – conveniently via PoE (Power over Ethernet) – and roughly align them with each other. In a few minutes, your highly secure, AES-encrypted wireless bridge will be set up over up to 200 meters and deliver full Gigabit performance. Setting up a professional Point-to-Point connection has never been so easy. The 'Plug & Play' nature and pre-configuration enable quick commissioning, even if you don't have in-depth knowledge of MikroTik Wireless Systems.
Versatile Applications for your Wireless Bridge
The MikroTik Wireless Wire is not just a Gigabit Ethernet replacement for building-to-building networking. It can also serve as an innovative solution to bridge obstacles over short distances. Although 60 GHz normally requires a clear line of sight, the kit can work through most windows depending on the material. This allows for the creation of a wireless connection between rooms or building sections separated by a window, without complex cable penetrations. The robust design for outdoor use (Outdoor) and easy mounting make it a flexible tool for your Network.
Strengths & Notes at a glance
- Pro: Offers a full-duplex 1 Gbit/s connection that can replace a fiber optic connection over short distances, at a fraction of the cost.
- Pro: The devices are already paired with each other and pre-configured for immediate use ('Plug & Play'), which significantly simplifies setup.
- Pro: Uses the 60 GHz Wireless Link band, which is not affected by the overcrowded 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum, and provides a secure, AES-encrypted connection.
- Note: 60 GHz technology requires a nearly clear line of sight between the two devices for optimal performance. Physical obstacles such as walls, trees, or heavy rain can impair or interrupt the connection.
- Note: Although designed for distances of 200 meters or more, performance at 1 Gbit/s full-duplex is typically optimized for about 100 meters with full power.
