The Mikrotik Metal 52 ac is one of MikroTik's most powerful and durable outdoor wireless access points, engineered for demanding enterprise, industrial, and ISP environments. Built inside a rugged all-metal weatherproof enclosure, it supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networking with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) technology, providing reliable, high-speed connectivity for outdoor hotspots, wireless bridges, CCTV backhaul, and point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless deployments. It is designed to withstand harsh weather while delivering stable performance in challenging outdoor environments.
Powered by a 720 MHz Qualcomm QCA9556 processor, 64 MB RAM, 16 MB Flash, and a Gigabit Ethernet interface, the Metal 52 ac offers significantly better performance than previous models. It ships with a RouterOS Level 4 license, allowing it to operate as a fully featured wireless Access Point while also supporting advanced routing, firewall, VPN, VLAN, QoS, hotspot management, bandwidth control, and wireless bridging. Its N-Male RF connector allows installers to use omnidirectional, sector, panel, dish, or yagi antennas, depending on the network design.
Whether you are building an outdoor Wi-Fi hotspot, connecting buildings across a campus, deploying CCTV surveillance networks, extending wireless coverage across farms or industrial facilities, or building a wireless ISP network, the Mikrotik Metal 52 ac provides outstanding performance, reliability, flexibility, and long-term value.
