MikroTik LtAP LR8G — LTE6 Industrial Access Point for Critical Networks

MikroTik LtAP LR8G LTE6 kit is an all-in-one industrial gateway with LoRa, LTE Cat 6, integrated GPS, and 2.4 GHz WiFi, designed for mobile and stationary IoT applications in transportation, logistics, and industrial monitoring. It is deployed by IoT system integrators and organizations managing distributed sensor networks across wide areas, where combining fast LTE connectivity, long-range LoRaWAN, and real-time GPS positioning is required in a single rugged device. It enables data collection from LoRa sensors and transmission via LTE to cloud or IoT platforms, with simultaneous positioning of the vehicle or monitored asset.

The kit integrates a Category 6 LTE modem delivering speeds up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload with 2×2 MIMO, carrier aggregation support, and LTE FDD bands 1/3/5/7/8/20/28 and TDD 38/40/41 for wide national coverage, including automatic 3G Category R8 fallback. The R11e-LR8G module provides LoRaWAN connectivity at 868 MHz with enhanced Rx sensitivity for effective long-range communication — natively compatible with The Things Network and The Things Industries for rapid IoT deployments without proprietary infrastructure. The integrated GPS with an external SMA female connector provides real-time positioning, while dual-chain WiFi 4 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n ensures local wireless connectivity. Three miniSIM slots enable automatic operator roaming, and two miniPCIe slots allow expansion with additional modules.

Power input flexibility is maximum — DC jack 12–30V, passive PoE 12–30V, or automotive connector 12–27V — enabling installation in commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, or locations without a dedicated outlet, including power bank operation. The dual-core MT7621AT processor at 880 MHz with 128 MB RAM runs RouterOS v7 (License Level 4) with full management, VPN, firewall, and LTE signal monitoring at no recurring cost. Maximum consumption of 24W and passive cooling ensure silent and reliable operation across the -40°C to +70°C operating range. SMA female connectors allow external antenna mounting for extended coverage in weak-signal environments.

Recommended for transportation and logistics where simultaneous LoRa sensor data collection and GPS positioning are operational requirements, smart agriculture with asset and environmental sensor monitoring across large areas, and smart city infrastructure with mobile or fixed IoT gateways. Also suited for ISPs and integrators deploying LoRaWAN networks with LTE backhaul, fleet monitoring systems, and any mobile industrial IoT application requiring LTE, LoRa, and GPS connectivity in a single ruggedized device.
