MikroTik mANTBox 15s

The MikroTik mANT series represents an advanced suite of high-performance sector antennas, engineered to optimize outdoor wireless networking. These antennas are distinguished by their sector-shaped radiation pattern, facilitating targeted coverage across specific areas. This strategic design minimizes interference and maximizes signal strength within the designated sector, making the mANT series ideal for establishing efficient point-to-multipoint networks in diverse settings such as mobile base stations, WISP networks, and expansive outdoor facilities.

Crafted for durability and adaptability, the mANT antennas incorporate dual-polarization technology, transmitting and receiving signals on both horizontal and vertical planes. This capability significantly enhances the use of the radio spectrum, improving signal quality, reducing environmental interference, and bolstering data throughput rates. Seamlessly integrated with MikroTik's robust QuickMOUNT systems, the mANT series ensures effortless installation and versatile deployment. The QuickMOUNT system, renowned for its user-friendly and adjustable design, enables precise alignment and stable mounting of antennas on various surfaces, from walls to poles, thus facilitating optimal signal direction and network performance.

The mANTBox 15s is an advanced networking device that seamlessly integrates a sector antenna with the powerful MikroTik RB921 router, crafted to deliver a top-tier wireless solution for extensive outdoor environments. At the heart of the mANTBox 15s is a 720 MHz CPU, a robust processor that provides the necessary computational power to handle complex network tasks efficiently. This capability ensures that the device can easily manage high traffic loads, maintaining a stable and fast network even under strenuous conditions. The strong CPU is crucial for supporting multiple simultaneous connections, processing large amounts of data, and executing advanced network functions without lag or downtime.

Wireless connectivity in the mANTBox 15s is bolstered by support for the 802.11 ac/a/n standards, ensuring the device is at the forefront of wireless networking technology. These standards enable high-speed internet access, facilitating faster data transfer rates, reduced latency, and enhanced network efficiency. The 802.11 ac standard, in particular, supports dual-band Wi-Fi, offering channels in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, which leads to less interference and more stable connections. The 802.11 n standard complements this by providing solid performance over longer distances within the 5 GHz frequency range.

One of the key strengths of the mANTBox 15s is its high output power of up to 31 dBm, which significantly extends the device's signal coverage. This powerful transmission capability means the antenna can send and receive signals over larger distances and effectively penetrate through obstacles like buildings and trees. As a result, the mANTBox 15s can ensure consistent and reliable wireless connectivity across vast outdoor areas, making it an ideal choice for creating expansive Wi-Fi networks in places like parks, campuses, and large industrial sites.

Operating in the 5 GHz band with a 15 dBi gain, the mANTBox 15s delivers exceptional wireless coverage, significantly extending the antenna's effective range to cover larger distances while focusing the signal to enhance reception and transmission quality. The mANTBox 15s is configured with 128 MB of RAM, offering sufficient processing power to handle simultaneous tasks and manage multiple connections efficiently. This memory capacity ensures smooth operation and provides ample space for network configurations and updates, thus improving network performance and reliability.

Equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet port, the mANTBox 15s supports high-speed wired connectivity, facilitating fast data transfer rates ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming, gaming, or extensive file transfers. This port ensures seamless integration into gigabit networks, providing reliable and fast communication links to other network devices or the internet. Additionally, the inclusion of a 1G SFP port allows for flexible network expansion through the use of modular optical fiber transceivers, connecting the device to fiber-optic networks for high-speed optical networking. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-distance communication or in high-performance networks, supporting various SFP modules to meet diverse connectivity needs and achieve high throughput or low latency over extended distances.
