Professional Point-to-Point Wireless System MikroTik LHG XL HP5 for Long-Distance Links

The MikroTik LHG XL HP5 is a 5 GHz integrated grid antenna with 27 dBi gain and a high-power dual-chain transmitter, built for point-to-point links up to 40 km and long-distance CPE deployments where high antenna gain and transmission power compensate for extreme distances. The grid design reduces wind load compared to a solid parabolic dish of the same size, and the antenna element integrated directly into the wireless unit eliminates cable losses between the radio and the antenna — a direct advantage for link budget calculations at long distances.

The 27 dBi gain and high-power 802.11a/n dual-chain transmitter deliver stable performance for long-distance PtP links at speeds up to 300 Mbps under optimal conditions. The dual polarization of the integrated antenna element optimizes link quality across both polarizations simultaneously. IP54 protection and a tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C confirm continuous operation in extreme climatic conditions without frequent maintenance visits to hard-to-reach installations.

The 550 mm diameter grid design allows pole mounting without the mechanical load of a solid parabolic dish of equivalent aperture — relevant for towers and structures where the weight and wind resistance of mounted equipment are constrained. The AR9344 CPU at 600 MHz and 64 MB RAM run the factory-activated RouterOS Level 3 license. The included package — PoE injector, 24V power adapter, and K-LHG mounting kit — covers a complete installation. Also available in a four-unit package (RBLHG-5HPnD-XL4pack) for large-scale deployments.

It is the right fit for ISPs installing CPE at long distances where 27 dBi and high transmission power are needed for the target signal level, for point-to-point links up to 40 km where the grid design and integrated element eliminate cable losses, for bulk deployments where the four-unit package reduces per-installation cost, and for mounting structures where the reduced weight and wind load of the grid design are advantages over solid parabolic dishes of the same aperture.
