MikroTik OmniTIK 5 ac – Outdoor Wireless Access Point 5 GHz for SMB and Industrial Networks

The MikroTik OmniTIK 5 ac is an outdoor omnidirectional access point for the 5 GHz band with 802.11ac support, built for pole-mounted CPE distribution where 360° coverage at Wi-Fi 5 speeds and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity are the primary requirements. Widely deployed by ISPs as an upgrade over previous OmniTIK generations, it combines two integrated 7.5 dBi omni antennas with a dual-chain AC transmitter and five Gigabit Ethernet ports in an IP54-rated weatherproof enclosure.

The 802.11ac transmitter on the QCA9892 chipset delivers data rates up to 867 Mbps with backwards compatibility for 802.11a/n CPE devices — ISPs can retain existing Wireless N clients while onboarding new AC clients without replacing the access point. Five Gigabit Ethernet ports eliminate the wired bottleneck present in previous Fast Ethernet OmniTIK versions, while the QCA9557 CPU at 720 MHz and 128 MB RAM support advanced RouterOS Level 4 configurations for complex wireless distribution scenarios.

The IP54-rated enclosure and included pole mounting bracket allow rapid deployment in exposed outdoor locations. The USB type A port with power reset adds flexibility for connecting a modem or external storage managed directly through RouterOS. Passive cooling and a tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C confirm continuous operation without frequent maintenance. The included package covers a complete installation — Gigabit PoE injector, 24V power adapter, and pole mounting bracket.

It is the right fit for ISPs upgrading OmniTIK infrastructure from Wireless N to AC on 5 GHz, for omnidirectional CPE networks where Gigabit Ethernet on the backhaul matters over Fast Ethernet, for outdoor access points serving mixed N and AC client devices, and for operators seeking 360° coverage at AC speeds without the cost of multiple sectoral installations.
