MikroTik SXTsq 5 ac RBSXTsqG-5acD 5GHz Radio Router for SMB Networks

SXTsq 5 ac is a compact outdoor wireless device with an integrated 16 dBi antenna on the 5GHz band with 802.11ac support, designed for high-speed point-to-point links and CPE connectivity in wireless distribution networks where WiFi 5 performance and a Gigabit port are essential requirements. It is widely used by ISPs and integrators requiring higher throughput than WiFi 4 solutions, fully utilizing the speeds that the 802.11ac protocol provides.

The device delivers wireless speeds of up to 867 Mbit/s on the dual-chain 5GHz band with a 16 dBi antenna, ensuring a stable and fast long-range link with minimal interference compared to the 2.4GHz band. The 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port eliminates any network bottleneck during high-speed data transfer, unlike models with Fast Ethernet ports. A quad-core ARM processor running up to 896MHz with 256MB RAM delivers sufficient performance for routing and managing heavy traffic in large-scale CPE deployments.

SXTsq 5 ac is powered via passive PoE at 10-28V, included in the kit along with a Gigabit PoE injector and power adapter, connecting to the network through its Gigabit Ethernet port. The compact 129x129mm square form factor — twice as thin as the previous SXT 5 ac model — simplifies pole or wall mounting. The IP54-rated enclosure and -40°C to +70°C operating range ensure reliable operation in permanent outdoor installations. Available in an international version and a US version with factory-locked frequencies.

Recommended for ISPs building high-throughput 5GHz CPE networks, for wireless backbone links where speed and low latency are priorities, and for deployments where a Gigabit port is required to fully leverage 802.11ac capacity. It is the right upgrade choice from WiFi 4 solutions in modern wireless distribution infrastructures. The RouterOS license and software updates are included free of charge for the lifetime of the product.
