MikroTik LHG XL 5 ax — Industrial Point-to-Point Gateway for Critical Environments

MikroTik LHG XL 5 ax is a long-range outdoor CPE equipped with a 27 dBi directional antenna and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, designed for point-to-point connections over distances of up to 30 km in optimal conditions. It is deployed by ISPs, integrators, and network operators to connect buildings, isolated locations, and distributed infrastructure where fibre or cable is unavailable. The ideal solution for long-distance wireless links requiring high spectral efficiency, low latency, and advanced security in interference-prone environments.

The integrated 27 dBi directional antenna provides high gain and precise signal focus over long distances, while Wi-Fi 6 brings improved spectral efficiency compared to previous generations — essential in noisy environments with multiple interference sources. OFDMA and MU-MIMO reduce latency and increase effective throughput on point-to-point links, and WPA3 encryption ensures advanced communication security. The Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE power input simplifies installation with a single cable for both data and power.

LHG XL 5 ax runs RouterOS v7 pre-installed, providing flexible configuration, remote management, link monitoring, and advanced network control with no recurring licensing costs. The robust outdoor enclosure and operating range from -40°C to +70°C guarantee reliability in extreme climatic conditions — wind, rain, frost, or intense heat. The device comes with all necessary accessories for pole or mast mounting, simplifying deployment in hard-to-reach locations.

Recommended for ISPs deploying long-distance point-to-point wireless links between towers or buildings, integrators connecting isolated locations without fibre access, and infrastructure operators requiring stable backhaul connections over long distances. Also suited for connecting office buildings and distributed industrial campuses, long-range video surveillance systems, and any application where distance and wireless performance in challenging conditions are critical factors.
