Your Specialist for 4G Reception in Challenging Locations
Do you know the feeling? Internet is okay indoors, but in the garden, workshop, or holiday home, the connection constantly drops. The MikroTik SXT 4G7 kit was developed precisely for this challenge. It is not an ordinary router, but a complete Outdoor 4G Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The integrated directional Antenna bundles the mobile signal and directs it straight to the powerful CAT7 modem. The result: a stable, fast internet connection where other devices have long given up.
Carrier Aggregation: The Turbo for your Data Rate
The heart of the SXT 4G7 is the modern 4G Category 7 Modem. Its superpower? Carrier Aggregation (2xCA). Instead of using just one frequency band, the router connects to two bands simultaneously. Imagine it as a two-lane data highway. The result is not only higher peak speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s but also a significantly more robust connection, especially in areas with high Network utilization. This makes the SXT 4G7 ideal for streaming, home office, and as a reliable internet backup solution.
Robust, Flexible, and Made for Professionals
The weatherproof IP54 Outdoor Enclosure defies wind and weather. Installation is incredibly simple thanks to Power Supply via a single Network cable (PoE 802.3af/at). The highlight: The second Ethernet port offers PoE-Out to directly power another component like a surveillance IP Camera or a WiFi Access Point. The entire system is powered by MikroTik RouterOS v7, an extremely powerful operating system that gives you full control over your Network – from complex firewall rules and VLANs to secure WireGuard VPN connections. This `MikroTik` Router is a tool for users who want more than standard.
Dual-SIM for Maximum Reliability
An internet outage can quickly become a problem today. With the two Micro-SIM slots of the SXT 4G7, you are on the safe side. Configure a second SIM card, for example from another network operator, as a failover. If the primary network fails, the router switches automatically and seamlessly to the backup card. This keeps your connection online – ideal for business-critical applications or when permanent availability is essential.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Excellent reception performance due to directional Antenna and CAT7 modem, ideal for locations with weak signals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the MikroTik SXT 4G7 kit be used as a WiFi Router?
No, the device does not have integrated WiFi functionality. It receives the mobile internet signal and makes it available via its Ethernet ports. To set up a WiFi network, a separate WiFi Access Point must be connected to one of the Ethernet ports.
Is the SXT 4G7 kit suitable for gaming or streaming?
Yes, conditionally. Thanks to the directional antenna and Carrier Aggregation, it can provide a more stable connection with lower latency than a smartphone hotspot. However, the limiting factor is the quality and utilization of the mobile Network at the location. The 100 Mbps Ethernet port is more than sufficient for most streaming applications and online games.
What does "Carrier Aggregation" mean and what advantage does it offer?
Carrier Aggregation allows the modem to connect to two frequency bands of a mobile cell tower simultaneously. This can be imagined like a two-lane highway instead of a single-lane one. The result is higher peak speeds and a more reliable connection, as the data load is distributed across two 'channels'.
Do I need two active contracts for the two SIM slots?
No, not necessarily. The second SIM slot primarily serves as a backup (failover). You can insert a second SIM card (possibly from a different provider), to which the device automatically switches if the primary SIM card's Network fails. This significantly increases the reliability of the internet connection.
How do I optimally align the Antenna?
The alignment is ideally done towards the nearest and most powerful mobile cell tower of your provider. In the RouterOS interface, there is a "Cell Monitor" tool that displays signal values like RSRP (signal strength) and SINR (signal quality) in real-time. By slowly panning the Antenna, the position with the best values can be determined and fixed.
Is the device suitable for use in Germany/Austria/Switzerland?
Yes, the supported 4G and 3G frequency bands cover all relevant bands used by major Network operators in the DACH region (A1, Magenta, Drei, Telekom, Vodafone, O2, Swisscom, etc.), including the important bands 8 (900 MHz), 20 (800 MHz), and 28 (700 MHz) for rural coverage.
