The MikroTik wAP 60G Radio offers weatherproof and high-speed wireless connectivity for short-range backhaul. It can be used indoors or outdoors as a Point-to-Point or CPE unit, achieving 1 Gbps throughput with its powerful quad-core CPU. With its utilisation of the unlicensed 60GHz spectrum, it provides lower RF noise and stronger performance compared to the crowded 2GHz and 5GHz spectrums. The wAP 60G is also ideal for creating multi-point networks, reducing interference from WiFi. Comes with RouterOS L3 license.

FAQs
Q: What is the MikroTik RBwAPG‑60ad used for?
A: The RBwAPG‑60ad is designed for high‑speed outdoor wireless links, such as point‑to‑point (PtP) or point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) applications, replacing traditional cables with 60 GHz transmission.
Q: What wireless standard and data rate does the RBwAPG‑60ad support?
A: It uses the 60 GHz band (802.11ad) and supports near‑wire speed throughput (~1 Gbps full‑duplex) over line‑of‑sight links, making it ideal for high‑capacity backhaul.
Q: How is the RBwAPG‑60ad powered and what are its key hardware features?
A: It supports PoE‑in (802.3af/at) and DC jack input (12‑57 V). It has one Gigabit Ethernet port, 256 MB RAM, and runs RouterOS with an ARM CPU, in a weather‑rated enclosure for outdoor use.
Q: What are the environmental and mounting capabilities of the RBwAPG‑60ad?
A: The device operates in temperatures from –40 °C to +70 °C, has IP55 rated housing, and is designed for pole‑ or wall‑mount installation with included accessories.
Q: Why choose the RBwAPG‑60ad for a network deployment?
A: Because it provides fibre‑like throughput without fibre cabling, works in the clear 60 GHz band (avoiding busy WiFi spectrum), and simplifies outdoor backhaul with industrial‑grade robustness.
