## **What’s New in the LHG 5 ax?**

This unit builds on MikroTik’s previous LHG models by introducing a faster, more efficient wireless standard—802.11ax. This means better data rates, improved spectrum efficiency, and reduced latency, even in areas with interference.

- **High-Gain 27 dBi Antenna: **A powerful integrated dish antenna allows for long-distance connectivity—perfect for rural or remote setups.
- **Quad-Core ARM CPU: **With a 1.8 GHz quad-core processor and hardware acceleration, the LHG 5 ax handles heavy traffic without slowing down.
- **Gigabit Ethernet Port: **Supports full-speed backhaul connections, ensuring the wireless link isn’t bottlenecked.
- **Advanced Wireless Chip with 802.11ax: **Improved modulation and channel efficiency mean faster speeds and better reliability over time and distance.
- **Rugged, Redesigned Housing: **The updated enclosure protects the device against wind, rain, and extreme temperatures, with a strengthened dish and PCB layout to improve performance.
- **Low Power Consumption: **Despite its power, the device is energy-efficient, drawing just 6–7W under load.

## **Use Case Scenarios**

- Point-to-point links over several kilometers
- Wireless ISP customer connections
