Your favorite outdoor CPE

now with Wi-Fi 6 and Access Point mode!

Meet the SXTsq 5 ax — our first Wi-Fi 6 outdoor CPE, combining the best wireless technology with our trusted, compact SXTsq form factor.

ARM dual-core + Wi-Fi 6

Despite the upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 and a modern ARM-based dual-core CPU, this unit keeps the same price point as our previous Wi-Fi 5 model — making it one of the best-value weatherproof CPEs on the market.

Weatherproof

The enclosure can withstand all sorts of unpredictable weather hazards, and it features slots for directly attaching a hose clamp in three different mounting positions, including support for horizontal railings — ideal for masts and poles in rooftop or tower deployments.

3 to 10+ km

Field-tested up to 3 km in high-interference, urban scenarios. Designed with the same trusted long-range architecture as previous SXT models — capable of 10+ km links in line-of-sight deployments.

Pair a mANTBox ax 15s as your uplink with several SXTsq 5 ax units - and you've got everything you need to become the village ISP! No need to wait for large ISPs to reach you.

With RouterOS license level 4, the SXTsq 5 ax isn’t just a client — it can also be configured as a powerful access point, giving you more flexibility in planning your wireless infrastructure. And thanks to its compact square shape, it fits neatly into even the most space-sensitive deployments.
