PowerBox Pro

The PowerBox Pro is one of the few routers designed from the ground up to live outdoors. Its weatherproof enclosure protects the hardware from rain, dust, heat, and the kind of temperature extremes that East African climates regularly deliver. With an MTBF rating of approximately 200,000 hours — double that of many indoor devices — it's built to last in demanding outdoor environments. For ISPs and wireless internet service providers in Uganda and Kenya who mount equipment on towers, poles, or rooftops, this is the router that eliminates the need for a separate weatherproof enclosure or an indoor equipment room at every site.
With Gigabit PoE output on ports 2 through 5, the PowerBox Pro can power your wireless radios, IP cameras, or other PoE-capable devices directly — removing the need for separate injectors or PoE switches at the tower. It supports both passive and 802.3af/at PoE output, with a maximum of 1A per port and 2A total, making it compatible with a wide range of outdoor radio equipment. The SFP cage adds fibre uplink capability, so you can connect the unit directly into a fibre backbone if your tower infrastructure supports it — a future-proof touch that sets it apart from basic outdoor routers.
Running RouterOS Level 4 on an 800MHz CPU, the PowerBox Pro supports the full range of routing, firewall, NAT, VPN, and bandwidth management features your team is already using on indoor devices. There's no feature compromise for the outdoor form factor. It supports passive PoE input for flexible powering, and the built-in PCB temperature and voltage monitoring lets your team remotely track device health — reducing unnecessary tower climbs and site visits across your Uganda or Kenya network.
Simplifi Networks supplies the PowerBox Pro to ISPs and network installers across Uganda and Kenya, with local stock, competitive B2B pricing, and warranty support you can count on. If you're building or expanding an outdoor wireless network, this is the device to spec in.
