#1: L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD-NM - NetMetal ax

Meet one of your most versatile companions: the NetMetal ax – a powerful long-range outdoor access point that thrives in any environment. Designed for extra durability, it can be installed almost anywhere with ease – you can open and close the case with one hand. The rated IP66 protection will keep the device safe from dust and powerful water jets - in damp attics and elevator shafts, bustling docks, or coastal tower structures. No terrain is too rough for the NetMetal ax – the Mars rover of networking!

It features a modern dual-core ARM CPU, Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 Gigabit SFP for fiber connectivity, a USB port, and a free miniPCIe slot that allows further customization. You could, for example, add an LTE modem for a mobile internet backup – we’ve added a NanoSIM slot on the NetMetal! But there are other options, like adding a gateway for LoRa IoT setups, such as MikroTiks R11e-LR8!

A powerful dual-band, dual-chain Wi-Fi 6 radio offers increased speed, stability, security, roaming, power management, and other features, compared to the previous wireless protocols. Two RP-SMA connectors allow adding an antenna of your choice for distances up to 30 kilometers*. If necessary, you can adapt the NetMetal ax for lower range use with such antennas as our HGO-antenna-OUT screw-on omni antenna unit. It provides 3.3 dBi gain for the 2.4 GHz band and 5.5-7.1 dBi gain for the 5 GHz band.

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.
