The MikroTik wAP 60G (Part Number: RBwAPG-60ad) stands out as a versatile and robust wireless solution designed to operate in a variety of settings, from indoor environments to challenging outdoor conditions. As a part of MikroTik’s advanced 60 GHz lineup, this device is capable of delivering high-speed connectivity with considerable flexibility in its deployment and particularly effective in high-density areas where traditional Wi-Fi frequencies are saturated, as it operates on the less congested 60 GHz spectrum. Its integrated antenna is equipped with a phase array 60° beamforming capability, making it ideal for Point-to-Point use or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) configurations.

Powered by an ARM 32bit IPQ-4019 CPU with four cores and a nominal frequency of 716 MHz, the wAP 60G is built to handle demanding applications. It includes 256 MB of RAM and 16 MB of FLASH storage, underpinning the sophisticated RouterOS which offers extensive customization and configuration. The device is designed to endure, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 200,000 hours at 25C and capability to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.

The wAP 60G, when paired with the wAP 60G AP, facilitates the establishment of a high-speed Point-to-Multipoint network operating on the 60 GHz frequency, which is free from the congestion typical of the Wi-Fi spectrum. In this configuration, the wAP 60G AP, which is equipped with a RouterOS L4 license and a 60-degree antenna, serves as the Base Station or Access Point. This setup allows the wAP 60G AP to support up to eight simultaneous client connections (using wAP 60G units with L3 licenses) over distances exceeding 200 meters.

The wAP 60G supports two DC inputs, with a voltage range of 12-57 V, and conforms to the 802.3af/at PoE standards. It boasts a low maximum power consumption of just 5 watts, thanks to its efficient passive cooling system. Network integration is facilitated by one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, providing ample bandwidth for high-speed data transfers.

The wAP 60G features a weatherproof design, allowing it to function both indoors and outdoors effectively. The device meets rigorous international safety and operational standards, being certified by CE, FCC, IC, EAC, and ROHS. It also features an IP55 rating, ensuring protection against environmental elements and making it suitable for a wide range of operational climates. In addition, the compact dimensions of 185 x 85 x 30 mm ensure that it does not intrude visually or spatially when installed.

Each wAP 60G unit comes with a comprehensive set of mounting accessories, including a wall mounting kit, straps for pole mounting, and a table stand for indoor use. This versatility ensures that setup is straightforward, regardless of the location. The inclusion of a power supply and Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector further simplifies installation by allowing the unit to be powered through the Ethernet cable, reducing the need for additional wiring.
