MikroTik mAP

The MikroTik mAP (micro Access Point), officially known as RBmAP2nD, is a highly compact and versatile device designed to deliver efficient wireless connectivity and a variety of networking features within a small form factor. Built on the MIPSBE architecture and equipped with a QCA9531 processor, the mAP operates at a nominal frequency of 650 MHz. It integrates the same model QCA9531-BL3A-R as its switch chip, enhancing its processing and switching capabilities. The mAP is a tiny size wireless Dual-Chain 2.4GHz Access Point with full RouterOS capabilities. It is very portable, since it accepts power from a wide variety of sources - USB, Passive PoE and power jack. It also works as a PoE injector - the second Ethernet port provides up to 500mA of power to another device, for example, you can connect a SXT CPE device to it.

Features

This device is tailored for use in environments requiring a reliable and steady wireless connection, thanks to its support for 802.11b/g/n standards on the 2.4 GHz band. It can achieve a maximum data rate of 300 Mbit/s and features two chains with an antenna gain of 1.2 dBi, ensuring robust and extensive coverage. The mAP is also classified under Wi-Fi 4 generation technology, optimizing its performance for both personal and commercial use.

The mAP is not only powerful but also remarkably efficient in its physical dimensions, measuring just 68x68x19mm. It includes 64 MB of RAM and 16 MB of FLASH storage, sufficient for standard operations and firmware upgrades. The estimated MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is around 100,000 hours at 25°C, which speaks volumes about its durability and reliability.

Designed for flexibility in power sources, the mAP supports three types of DC inputs: a DC jack, PoE-IN, and a microUSB, with input voltage ranges that accommodate from 5 V up to 57 V. This feature ensures that the device can be powered in a variety of settings, increasing its utility. Its maximum power consumption is modest at 5 W, and it uses passive cooling technology to maintain optimal operating temperatures without the need for additional cooling mechanisms.

In terms of connectivity, the mAP offers two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, one of which (Ether2) supports passive PoE output, allowing it to serve as a power source for another compatible device with a maximum output of 0.5 A. It also features a microUSB type AB port that supports a USB power reset function and can handle a maximum USB current of 1 A.

Additional functionalities include a PCB temperature monitor and a voltage monitor, tools that are essential for maintaining and troubleshooting the device without physical intervention. The mAP is certified by FCC and IC, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and operational standards. Moreover, it is capable of operating within a wide range of ambient temperatures, from -20°C to 70°C, allowing its deployment in diverse environmental conditions.
