Frequently Asked Questions
How does software-selectable band operation work on the Metal 52 ac?
The Metal 52 ac radio can be configured in RouterOS to operate on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, but not simultaneously; choose the band that best suits your network role and subscribers.
Can the Metal 52 ac function as a base station, backbone, or CPE?
Yes, its software flexibility allows the same hardware to serve as an ISP base station for subscriber coverage, a backbone link between sites, or a CPE receiver at a customer location.
What is the advantage of 802.11ac support for long-distance links?
802.11ac on 5 GHz provides higher data rates and less interference than 2.4 GHz, making it ideal for point-to-point backbone links and demanding CPE applications.
Is the Metal 52 ac weatherproof for outdoor mounting?
Yes, the metal enclosure is designed for outdoor deployment on poles and towers, with Gigabit Ethernet and N-male connector protected from the elements.
What does the included Omni antenna provide?
The omnidirectional antenna provides 360-degree wireless coverage, suitable for CPE and short-range point-to-multipoint deployments without directional aiming.
Can I replace the Omni antenna with a directional antenna?
Yes, the N-male connector allows you to attach optional directional antennas for point-to-point or CPE applications; contact Procure.ae for antenna compatibility options.
