The MikroTik cAP LTE12 ax is a ceiling-mount dual-band Wi-Fi 6 access point with a built-in LTE Cat12 modem, two Gigabit ports and PoE in and out.

It runs RouterOS v7 on a quad-core ARM CPU with 1 GB of RAM, so it can act as the router for a small site: firewall, IPsec hardware encryption, WireGuard and VPN tunnels. Wi-Fi supports WPA3 and OWE, and multiple units can be managed with CAPsMAN. The second Ethernet port has passive PoE-out to power another device.

Key features

  • Dual-band 2x2 Wi-Fi 6, up to 574 Mbit/s at 2.4 GHz and 1200 Mbit/s at 5 GHz
  • LTE Cat12 (600/150 Mbps), 4x4 MIMO downlink, micro SIM slot
  • LTE FDD bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28 and TDD 38, 40, 41
  • IPQ-6010 quad-core CPU up to 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM
  • 2 x Gigabit Ethernet, PoE-in 802.3af/at or DC jack, 18-57 V
  • Passive PoE-out on ether2, up to 0.6 A

In the box

  • 48 V 0.95 A power adapter
  • Gigabit PoE injector
  • K-81 fastening set
  • cAP ax ceiling bracket
