MikroTik LHG LTE18 Kit – Outdoor LTE Category 18 Router with Gigabit Ethernet

The MikroTik LHG LTE18 kit is an outdoor cellular networking device designed to provide internet connectivity through compatible 4G LTE mobile networks. It combines a high-gain directional antenna with an LTE Category 18 modem, making it suitable for homes, businesses, remote sites and internet installations where fixed broadband is unavailable or difficult to deploy.

Available from Globikom in Kenya, the MikroTik LHG LTE18 kit is designed for users who need an outdoor cellular connection and a wired Ethernet interface for integrating mobile broadband into their network.

LTE Category 18 Connectivity

The LHG LTE18 kit uses an LTE Category 18 modem with theoretical maximum download speeds of up to 1.2Gbps and upload speeds of up to 150Mbps under supported network conditions. These are theoretical modem capabilities, not guaranteed internet speeds. Actual performance depends on mobile operator coverage, signal strength, network congestion, supported frequency bands, SIM plan and installation conditions.

The device is intended for use with a compatible cellular network and an active SIM card. Before purchasing, verify that the LTE bands supported by the exact model are compatible with your preferred mobile operator in Kenya or the intended deployment country.

High-Gain Directional Antenna

The LHG LTE18 kit uses a grid-style directional antenna designed to focus reception toward a mobile network base station. Directional antenna performance makes installation position and alignment important. Choosing a suitable elevated location with a clear path toward the serving cellular site can help improve reception, depending on local conditions.

The integrated antenna and radio design provides a practical outdoor solution without requiring a separate external cellular antenna. Actual signal improvement varies with terrain, obstructions, network frequency and the quality of the available cellular signal.

Gigabit Ethernet and Network Integration

The device includes a Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting to a compatible router, switch or wired network. This allows the LTE connection to serve computers, access points, surveillance systems and other network equipment through an appropriate network configuration.

Gigabit Ethernet describes the wired interface capability; it does not guarantee that the mobile internet connection will achieve Gigabit speeds. Actual throughput depends on LTE conditions and the connected network.

Outdoor Installation

The LHG LTE18 kit is designed for outdoor deployment. A suitable mounting position, secure installation and weather-appropriate cable routing are important for dependable operation. Installers should follow the manufacturer’s mounting instructions and use appropriate outdoor-rated Ethernet cable.

Where required, use suitable grounding and surge protection to help protect the installation. Confirm the enclosure rating and environmental specifications for the exact hardware revision before deploying the device in demanding weather conditions.

RouterOS Management

The device runs MikroTik RouterOS, providing network configuration and management functions appropriate to its hardware and licence. Administrators can configure the connection and integrate the unit into a compatible network according to the deployment requirements.

Review the manufacturer’s documentation for the exact model’s RouterOS licence level, supported functions and configuration procedures before planning advanced routing or network-management features.

Power and Installation Requirements

The LHG LTE18 kit is powered through a compatible power-over-Ethernet arrangement. Confirm the supported input voltage and the accessories included in the supplied package before installation. Use only a compatible power source and follow MikroTik’s official installation guidance.

Typical Applications

The MikroTik LHG LTE18 kit may be suitable for:

• Outdoor 4G LTE internet access for homes and businesses.
• Remote offices and sites without fixed broadband.
• Cellular internet connections for rural and semi-rural deployments.
• Connecting LTE internet to a wired LAN.
• Backup connectivity where the mobile operator and network design support it.
