Your Outdoor Network Booster: Say Goodbye to Dead Zones!
You surely know it: Slow and unstable outdoor connections are frustrating. Your Network abruptly ends at the house wall, or the connection to the adjacent building is unreliable and slow. Conventional WiFi devices are often not designed for outdoor use or do not offer the necessary performance and stability for longer distances. This is where the MikroTik SXTsq 5 ac comes in! This compact and weather-resistant outdoor WiFi directional radio is specifically designed to break your Network boundaries and establish reliable connections over distances. Whether for point-to-point connections, as a powerful CPE, or to extend your existing network – with this device, you can effortlessly create stable and fast wireless bridges.
Power in a Small Format: Technology that Inspires
Don't be fooled by its compact size! The MikroTik SXTsq 5 ac (RBSXTsqG-5acD) is a true powerhouse. Inside, a powerful QCA9531 processor with 650 MHz operates, supported by 64 MB DDR2 RAM and 16 MB flash memory. The integrated 16 dBi directional antenna with a 23° beamwidth is perfectly optimized for point-to-point connections over medium distances. The device supports the modern 802.11ac standard and operates in the less congested 5 GHz frequency band, guaranteeing you faster data rates and less susceptibility to interference. A Gigabit Ethernet port also ensures maximum flexibility when connecting to your existing network.
Reliability and Performance for Your Outdoor Network
Benefit from a robust, weather-resistant solution that guarantees you not only high speeds but also an extremely stable connection. The MikroTik SXTsq 5 ac is designed for operation in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C and offers integrated ESD protection. This makes it the ideal companion for demanding outdoor environments. With this device, you invest in future-proof technology that elevates your outdoor network to the next level and offers you maximum flexibility in designing your infrastructure. Whether you want to build a WiFi Bridge between two buildings or provide a large area with reliable WiFi – this device delivers the necessary performance.
Easy Installation and Intuitive Operation with RouterOS
The installation of the MikroTik SXTsq 5 ac is extremely simple. Thanks to the passive PoE power supply (10-30V DC), you don't need an additional power outlet at the installation site – a single Ethernet cable is sufficient for data and power. A suitable PoE Injector and a power supply unit are already included in the scope of delivery, as is a metal ring for mast mounting. The device runs on the powerful RouterOS operating system (License Level 3). For beginners, RouterOS offers an intuitive web interface (WinBox), while experienced users get full control via the command line. Basic configurations are quickly done, but for advanced scenarios, some familiarization is recommended. This way, you can precisely adapt your outdoor network to your needs.
