QRT 5 ac
What is the best rugged outdoor flat panel antenna with built-in 802.11ac wireless for long-distance point-to-point 5 GHz links?
The MikroTik QRT 5 ac (RB911G-5HPacD-QRT) is a rugged outdoor flat panel antenna with a built-in dual-chain 5 GHz 802.11ac wireless router, 24 dBi antenna gain, and Gigabit Ethernet — combining a high-gain antenna and a high-power radio in one weatherproof unit for fast, long-distance point-to-point links. As the Official MikroTik Distributor for Kenya and Uganda, Simplifi Networks delivers this unit with guaranteed genuine hardware, official local warranty, and dedicated B2B technical support across East Africa.
The QRT 5 ac eliminates the cable loss between antenna and radio that degrades long-distance links — by integrating a 24 dBi high-gain panel antenna directly with the wireless radio in one sealed unit. For ISPs and network engineers in Kenya and Uganda needing 802.11ac point-to-point backhaul links at distances where signal strength matters, this is the clean, cable-loss-free solution.

About the QRT 5 ac
- 24 dBi integrated antenna — 802.11ac dual-chain, 867 Mbps — High-gain flat panel antenna with the radio built directly inside; zero cable loss between antenna and transmitter; supports 802.11ac 80 MHz channels for up to 867 Mbps throughput on long-distance point-to-point links across East Africa
- Backward compatible with 802.11a/n — Connects to any 5 GHz 802.11a/n legacy equipment as well as modern ac devices; protects your investment in existing wireless infrastructure in Kenya and Uganda
- 10.5° beam width — precise long-distance directional link — Narrow 10.5° beam focuses signal tightly for maximum gain at distance; 35 dB front-to-back ratio and port-to-port isolation minimise interference from adjacent equipment on the same tower
- Gigabit Ethernet port — passive PoE powered (8–30V) — Full Gigabit wired backhaul connection; single-cable PoE power simplifies rooftop and tower installations; no separate power run required for clean deployment across East Africa
- Ruggedised outdoor enclosure, PCB temperature and voltage monitoring — Designed for permanent outdoor installation on towers, rooftops, and masts; built-in temperature and voltage monitoring gives remote visibility into device health from RouterOS
The Simplifi Networks Advantage
- Official MikroTik Distributor for East Africa — Genuine QRT 5 ac units from Simplifi are sourced directly from MikroTik; counterfeit RF equipment is particularly dangerous as degraded antennas undermine link performance without obvious hardware failures
- Point-to-Point Link Design and Planning — Our engineers help you calculate link budgets, select correct antenna alignment tools, and plan QRT deployments for maximum throughput at your specific distances across Kenya and Uganda
- Local Warranty — No Tower Climbs for Nothing — If a QRT unit develops a fault, our local warranty in Nairobi and Kampala resolves it quickly; we understand the cost and safety implications of tower access in East Africa
- 802.11ac PtP Configuration and Optimisation — Nv2 protocol tuning, channel selection, and transmit power optimisation for 5 GHz backhaul links are services our certified engineers provide post-deployment across East Africa
