MikroTik OmniTIK 5 ac (RBOMNITIKG-5HACD) – Outdoor 5GHz Wireless Access Point

Description

The MikroTik OmniTIK 5 ac is an outdoor 5GHz wireless access point designed for internet service providers (ISPs), wireless network operators, network installers and businesses that need reliable outdoor wireless connectivity. Available from Globikom Kenya, this device combines an integrated omnidirectional antenna, dual-chain 802.11ac wireless technology and five Gigabit Ethernet ports in a weather-resistant enclosure.

The OmniTIK 5 ac is suitable for wireless distribution networks, connecting compatible customer-premises equipment (CPE) and extending network connectivity across outdoor sites. Its integrated antenna and pole-mounting design make it a practical option for installations where a separate external antenna is not required.

5GHz 802.11ac wireless connectivity

The MikroTik OmniTIK 5 ac supports 5GHz wireless networking using 802.11a/n/ac standards. Its dual-chain radio supports compatible wireless clients and offers a maximum theoretical wireless data rate of up to 867 Mbps under suitable conditions.

The integrated omnidirectional antenna has a gain of 7.5 dBi and a beamwidth of 360 degrees. This design can help distribute wireless coverage around the installation point, depending on antenna placement, signal conditions and the surrounding environment.

For wireless internet providers, the OmniTIK 5 ac can form part of a point-to-multipoint network when paired with compatible subscriber equipment. Actual coverage and throughput depend on line of sight, interference, channel selection, regulatory requirements and the capabilities of connected devices.

Five Gigabit Ethernet ports

The device includes five 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports. These interfaces allow network administrators to connect compatible routers, switches, wired equipment and other network devices.

Having multiple Ethernet ports can simplify installations by reducing the need for an additional switch at certain sites. Gigabit interfaces also support wired connections to suitable network equipment without limiting those links to 100 Mbps.

Integrated outdoor design

The OmniTIK 5 ac is built for outdoor wireless deployments and features an enclosure designed to protect the equipment in suitable installation conditions. Its integrated antenna reduces the need for a separate antenna assembly, while the supplied mounting hardware supports installation on a suitable pole or mast.

For dependable operation, install the device according to the manufacturer’s guidance, secure the Ethernet cabling, and ensure the mounting structure and mast are appropriately grounded. Use proper cable protection and weatherproofing practices when deploying the device outdoors.

Power over Ethernet

The OmniTIK 5 ac supports passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) input, with a supported input range of 12–57 V DC according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The standard RBOmniTikG-5HacD model has a maximum power consumption of approximately 14 W.

This PoE input arrangement allows power and network connectivity to be delivered over a suitable Ethernet cable, helping simplify installation where a local power outlet is not available at the mounting point. Always check the power supply and injector included with the specific product before installation.

Please note that the standard OmniTIK 5 ac is different from the OmniTIK 5 PoE ac model. The PoE ac variant supports PoE output to compatible devices on specified Ethernet ports, while the standard model does not provide PoE output.

RouterOS network management

The MikroTik OmniTIK 5 ac runs MikroTik RouterOS with a Level 4 licence. RouterOS provides network management and configuration features that can support wireless access, routing, firewall configuration and other networking functions according to the selected setup.

This flexibility makes the device useful for network professionals and ISPs who need to integrate outdoor wireless equipment into an existing infrastructure. Administrators should configure wireless security, access controls, frequency settings and other parameters in accordance with their network design and local regulations.

Applications for ISPs and businesses

The OmniTIK 5 ac can be considered for outdoor wireless distribution, WISP installations, connecting compatible CPE devices, small campus networks and selected business connectivity projects. It is especially useful where an integrated omnidirectional antenna and multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports suit the deployment.

Before purchasing, confirm that the standard OmniTIK 5 ac meets your requirements for wireless range, throughput, power input and Ethernet connectivity. For installations that require PoE output to power other devices, check whether the OmniTIK 5 PoE ac model is more appropriate.
