MikroTik NetMetal ax

NetMetal ax - The Mars rover of network technology. The most robust outdoor access point with a long range - now with Wi-Fi 6.

Meet one of your most versatile companions: the NetMetal ax - a powerful, long-range outdoor access point that thrives in any environment. Designed for durability, it can be easily installed almost anywhere - you can open and close the housing with one hand. The IP66 rating protects the device from dust and powerful water jets - in damp attics and lift shafts, busy docks or coastal towers. No terrain is too rough for the NetMetal ax - the Mars rover of network technology.

It has a modern dual-core ARM CPU, Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 Gigabit SFP for fibre optic connections, a USB port and a free miniPCIe slot for further customisation. For example, you can add an LTE modem for mobile internet backup - a NanoSIM slot has been added to the NetMetal. But there are also other options, like adding a gateway for LoRa IoT setups, such as our R11e-LR8.

A powerful dual-band, dual-chain Wi-Fi 6 radio offers increased speed, stability, security, roaming, power management and other functions compared to previous wireless protocols. Two RP-SMA connectors allow you to connect an antenna of your choice for distances of up to 30 kilometres. If required, you can customise the NetMetal ax with antennas such as the screw-on omnidirectional antenna HGO-antenna-OUT for shorter ranges. It offers 3.3 dBi gain for the 2.4 GHz band and 5.5-7.1 dBi gain for the 5 GHz band.
