NetBox 5 ax is a powerful dual-chain outdoor device that can fill multiple roles in your setups: AP/CPE/Point-to-point. The strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 radio comes with handy RP-SMA connectors. That means you can add a HGO-antenna-OUT and you’ve got yourself an excellent omnidirectional AP… or try the mANT30 PA antenna to create a powerful long-range point-to-point link for distances up to 30 kilometers. This weatherproof board features a modern Qualcomm Maple CPU based on the ARM architecture, 256 MB of RAM, a USB port for extra storage or other needs, and a Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE-in. We’ve designed the case to make a sysadmins life easier. You can open the case effortlessly with just one hand. At the bottom, concealed behind a protective door, you’ll find exits for Ethernet. Equipped with a mounting loop for easy tower/pole installation, it also offers a separate DIN rail mount. If you’ve read this far, here’s a little bonus feature: we’ve kept the good old beeper for various alarms or creative outputs. *It’s important to note that while longer links are feasible, their reliability may vary. Additionally, the distance achievable greatly depends on the antenna selected for use.
