MikroTik LHG 5 – Long-Range Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge for SMB / Enterprise Networks

The MikroTik LHG 5 is a 5 GHz integrated grid antenna with 24.5 dBi gain and a dual-chain Wireless N transmitter, built for point-to-point links and CPE deployments at long distances at the most accessible price point in the LHG family. The antenna element integrated directly into the wireless unit eliminates cable losses, IP54 protection ensures continuous operation in demanding outdoor conditions, and Nv2 TDMA support optimizes spectral efficiency in ISP networks with high simultaneous client counts. Also available in a three-unit kit (RBLHG5kit) for large-scale deployments.

The 24.5 dBi gain and dual-chain 802.11a/n transmitter deliver stable long-distance coverage on 5 GHz at data rates up to 300 Mbps, with dual polarization of the integrated element optimizing link quality across both polarizations without cable losses. Nv2 TDMA reduces latency and improves spectral efficiency in point-to-multipoint scenarios compared to standard 802.11 protocols — a direct advantage for ISPs with sectors serving many simultaneous clients from a single access point. The AR9344 CPU at 600 MHz and 64 MB RAM run the factory-activated RouterOS Level 3 license.

The Ø391mm grid design and just 6W power consumption — the lowest in the 5 GHz LHG family — make the LHG 5 the solution with the best gain-to-power-to-cost ratio in its category. IP54 protection and a tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C confirm continuous operation without frequent maintenance in hard-to-reach installations. The included package — PoE injector, 24V power adapter, and K-LHG mounting kit — covers a complete pole installation without additional purchases.

It is the right fit for ISPs building large-scale 5 GHz CPE infrastructure where the three-unit kit and accessible pricing significantly reduce per-installation cost, for point-to-point links at medium and long distances where 24.5 dBi and Nv2 TDMA meet performance requirements, for ISP sectors where Nv2 spectral efficiency with high client counts matters more than peak individual throughput, and for operators seeking the optimal entry point into the LHG family with IP54 included.
