The MikroTik mANTBox ax 15s (Model: L22UGS-5HaxD2HaxD-15S) is a weather-proof, high-performance outdoor wireless Base Station designed for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), outdoor venues, campus distribution, and enterprise Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) deployments. Combining MikroTik’s proven mANT sector antenna technology with modern Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) dual-band hardware, it provides expansive signal coverage and high client capacity across challenging outdoor environments.
At its core, the mANTBox ax 15s is driven by a dual-core ARM IPQ-5018 processor operating at 800 MHz, backed by 512 MB RAM and 128 MB NAND storage. The unit integrates a high-gain 15 dBi dual-polarized sector antenna featuring a wide 120-degree beamwidth, allowing network operators to cover large geographical sectors with fewer physical access points. Its dual-chain wireless radios operate simultaneously on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, leveraging Wi-Fi 6 capabilities such as MU-MIMO and OFDMA to maintain stable, low-latency connections even in congested RF environments.
For network backhaul and connectivity, the router features 1x Gigabit Ethernet port supporting 802.3af/at and Passive PoE input, alongside 1x 2.5 Gigabit SFP cage for ultra-fast fiber uplinks over long distances. It also includes a full-size USB 3.0 port for external storage or cellular failover modems. Housed in a durable, UV-resistant outdoor casing equipped with a quickMOUNT pro mounting bracket and a Gigabit PoE injector, the device runs on MikroTik RouterOS Level 4, enabling comprehensive traffic shaping, VLAN management, dynamic routing, and wireless security controls.
Comprehensive Key Features
Integrated 15 dBi 120° Sector Antenna: Provides wide dual-polarized sector coverage to connect dozens of subscriber units (CPEs) or mobile clients over long distances.
