MikroTik SXT SA5 ac [EU ver.] RBSXTG-5HPacD-SA

The MikroTik SXT SA5 ac (Model: RBSXTG-5HPacD-SA) is a weatherproof, high-gain outdoor wireless Base Station designed for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), outdoor venues, and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) campus backhauls. Incorporating a wide 90-degree sector antenna with 14 dBi gain, it allows network operators to serve multiple subscriber CPE units across a wide area with high signal reliability.

Driven by a Qualcomm QCA9557 single-core processor operating at 720 MHz paired with 128 MB RAM and 128 MB NAND storage, the device delivers high data rates using 802.11ac wireless technology (with modulation up to 256-QAM and 80 MHz channel width support). Its high-output dual-chain 5 GHz wireless transmitter generates up to 1300 mW (31 dBm) output power for exceptional link budget performance over long distances.

For local network connectivity, the device includes a single 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet port to prevent bandwidth bottlenecks, along with a USB 2.0 port for external storage or cellular modem attachments. It can be powered via Passive PoE (15–60 V) or standard 802.3af/at PoE. Housed in a durable, UV-stabilized outdoor enclosure with pole-mounting accessories included, the SXT SA5 ac operates on MikroTik RouterOS Level 4, supporting custom routing protocols, bandwidth queues, WISP protocols (NV2, Nstreme), and firewall controls.
