MikroTik LHG XL 52 ac Point-to-Point – Reliable Wireless Link for SMB

MikroTik LHG XL 52 ac is a dual-band grid antenna for long-distance wireless connections, designed as a backbone link or CPE in ISP infrastructures and point-to-point networks where connection continuity is a critical requirement. With a 27 dBi antenna on 5 GHz and automatic dual-band failover, it maintains stable connectivity over distances up to 40 km without downtime caused by weather conditions or signal degradation.

The primary 5 GHz channel (Wi-Fi 5, up to 600 Mbps) operates alongside an automatic 2.4 GHz backup channel (Wi-Fi 4, up to 260 Mbps) — when the primary link degrades, traffic switches to the secondary band automatically with no manual intervention required. The integrated 27 dBi / 18 dBi antenna eliminates cable signal losses, while the grid design reduces wind load on pole and tower installations. The quad-core ARM CPU at 716 MHz with 256 MB RAM handles heavy traffic loads without performance degradation. An SFP port complements the Gigabit Ethernet port for flexible backhaul options.

LHG XL 52 ac integrates into ISP networks as a CPE for remote subscribers or as a backbone link between network nodes. Exclusive PoE 802.3af/at input enables direct integration with MikroTik smart switches without a separate injector. The IP54-rated enclosure and tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C ensure continuous operation across all climates, from severe winter to extreme heat.

Recommended for ISPs serving subscribers in rural or hard-to-reach areas, wireless backbone connections between sites up to 40 km apart, CPE deployments for customers without fiber access, and any infrastructure where automatic dual-band redundancy eliminates downtime risk.
