MikroTik LHG HP5 – Long-Range Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge for SMB / Enterprise Networks

The MikroTik LHG HP5 is a 5 GHz integrated grid antenna with 24.5 dBi gain and twice the output power of the standard LHG 5, built for point-to-point links and CPE deployments at distances up to 60% longer than the base version. The antenna element integrated directly into the wireless unit eliminates cable losses, while the compact Ø391mm grid design reduces wind load and weight compared to solid parabolic dishes of equivalent gain — a direct advantage for mounting on structures with limited mechanical capacity.

The doubled output power compared to the standard LHG 5 and 24.5 dBi gain extend the link budget for longer distances or more challenging RF conditions without increasing installation size or complexity. The dual-chain 802.11a/n transmitter delivers data rates up to 300 Mbps with dual polarization of the integrated element — optimizing link quality across both polarizations simultaneously without the cable losses associated with separate antennas. The AR9344 CPU at 600 MHz and 64 MB RAM run the factory-activated RouterOS Level 3 license.

At Ø391x222mm and 7W power consumption, the LHG HP5 maintains a compact and energy-efficient profile for pole or tower installations where equipment space and weight are constrained. The included package — PoE injector, 24V power adapter, and K-LHG mounting kit — covers a complete installation without additional purchases. The tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C confirms continuous long-term operation in extreme climatic conditions.

It is the right fit for ISPs installing 5 GHz CPE at distances where the standard LHG 5 cannot deliver the required signal level and the LHG XL HP5 would be oversized, for point-to-point links where doubled output power extends coverage without replacing the hardware platform, for mounting structures where the smaller Ø391mm diameter compared to the Ø550mm XL version is a mechanical advantage, and for operators seeking the optimal balance between gain, transmission power, and compactness in the LHG family.
