Limitless Connectivity: Your Wireless Bridge for Remote Locations
Imagine being able to effortlessly span internet or your company Network over long distances without having to lay expensive cables. The MikroTik SXTsq 5 ax makes exactly that possible! As a powerful Wireless Bridge (Point-to-Point), you can easily connect two locations. Whether you want to connect a remote building to your main Network or provide internet to rural areas where fiber optic and DSL are not an option – this CPE is your reliable partner. Even in urban environments with high interference, it bridges up to 3 km, and with direct line of sight, even over 10 km is no problem. Expand your Network without complex infrastructure projects.
Your Campus, Your Network: Outdoor WiFi 6
Large areas such as universities, extensive company sites, or industrial complexes require a seamless network infrastructure that leaves nothing to be desired even outdoors. The MikroTik SXTsq 5 ax can function here as a robust Outdoor WiFi Access Point, offering you and your users WiFi 6 connectivity in parking lots, sports facilities, or storage areas. Thanks to its weatherproof design (IP55) and the ability to be configured as an AP, you can effortlessly extend your wireless infrastructure beyond traditional building boundaries. This ensures every corner of your premises remains optimally connected.
Internet for Everyone: Your Local WISP Client
Especially in smaller communities or remote settlements, access to fast internet is often a challenge. The MikroTik SXTsq 5 ax is the ideal solution here as a client device for end customers supplied by a central WiFi Access Point. With its high reception sensitivity and the 16 dBi directional antenna, you receive a stable signal even over greater distances. And the best part: thanks to the RouterOS v7 License Level 4, it can even act as a small Access Point itself to provide internet access for several households in your immediate vicinity. A cost-effective and efficient way to bridge digital divides.
Technology that Inspires: Robustness Meets Performance
At the heart of the MikroTik SXTsq 5 ax beats a powerful ARM Dual-Core CPU with 800 MHz and 256 MB RAM, ensuring impressive performance and efficient data processing. Support for the WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard in the 5 GHz band guarantees you maximum speeds of up to 1200 Mbit/s and improved efficiency, especially in environments with many simultaneously active devices. Power is supplied via Passive PoE, which significantly simplifies installation by using a single cable for data and power. When selecting your PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, pay attention to the appropriate voltage. This device is a prime example of the quality of MikroTik Wireless Systems – compact, robust, and powerful, ready for any outdoor challenge.
