MikroTik Access Point SXTsq 5 ax

Features

The MikroTik SXTsq 5 ax is designed for outdoor wireless links in urban and remote deployments. Its compact enclosure with multiple mounting options is suitable for poles, masts, and rooftop installations.

The model features a modern dual-core ARM IPQ-5010 processor and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in the 5 GHz band. Support for 802.11a/n/ac/ax standards provides stable wireless performance and data rates up to 1200 Mbps.

The integrated 16 dBi antenna enables long-distance wireless links over several kilometers. The device has been tested for distances up to 3 km in high-interference urban environments, while line-of-sight deployments can exceed 10 km.

RouterOS Level 4 allows the SXTsq 5 ax to operate not only as a CPE device but also as a full access point. This adds flexibility when building wireless infrastructure.

Gigabit Ethernet and Passive PoE support simplify installation and power delivery through a single cable. Passive cooling helps maintain silent operation and reduces moving components.
