MikroTik GrooveA-52HPn Dual-Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point PoE

The MikroTik RBGrooveA-52HPn GrooveA 52 is a compact, weatherproof outdoor wireless access point designed for demanding point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments. Powered by RouterOS License Level 4, it delivers a fully featured routing and wireless management platform in one of MikroTik's smallest outdoor enclosures. The unit operates across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands via software-selectable mode, covering 2412–2484 MHz and 5150–5875 MHz, and supports 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n standards with up to 150 Mbit/s PHY rate and up to 125 Mbit aggregate throughput using MikroTik's Nv2 TDMA technology. A built-in N-male connector allows direct antenna attachment or connection via standard antenna cable, and the unit ships complete with a dual-band omni-directional antenna (6 dBi at 2.4 GHz, 8 dBi at 5 GHz). Passive PoE input (9–30 V) simplifies outdoor cabling, while integrated LED signal indicators assist with installation and alignment. Pole-mount attachment points and a tested operating range of −40 °C to 70 °C make it well suited for outdoor infrastructure in challenging environments.

Key features & benefits

• Dual-Band Software-Selectable Radio — Switch between 2.4 GHz (2412–2484 MHz) and 5 GHz (5150–5875 MHz) operation in software, providing flexibility to adapt to site RF conditions and local regulatory requirements without hardware changes.
• High Aggregate Throughput with Nv2 TDMA — MikroTik's proprietary Nv2 TDMA protocol enables up to 125 Mbit aggregate throughput, reducing latency and improving efficiency in point-to-multipoint deployments compared to standard CSMA contention-based access.
• Bundled Omni-Directional Antenna — Ships with a dual-band omni antenna rated at 6 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 8 dBi for 5 GHz, allowing immediate deployment without additional antenna procurement.
• Built-In N-Male Connector — The integrated N-male RF connector supports direct antenna attachment or connection via a standard antenna cable, giving installers straightforward options for antenna selection and placement.
• Passive PoE Power Input — Accepts passive PoE at 9–30 V DC with a maximum consumption of 6 W, eliminating the need for a separate power run to the mounting location; a PoE injector and power adapter are included in the box.
• RouterOS License Level 4 — Full RouterOS feature set at License Level 4 provides advanced routing, firewall, QoS, bandwidth management, and AP functionality, enabling this single unit to serve as both a wireless access point and a capable network router.
• Rugged Weatherproof Enclosure — Tested across an ambient temperature range of −40 °C to 70 °C with pole-mount attachment points, the enclosure is built for permanent outdoor installation in a wide range of climatic conditions.
• LED Signal Indicators — Onboard LED signal-strength indicators allow technicians to align directional antennas and verify link quality during installation without requiring a separate laptop or diagnostic tool.
• PCB Temperature and Voltage Monitoring — Integrated PCB temperature monitor and voltage monitor provide real-time hardware health data through RouterOS, supporting proactive maintenance and remote diagnostics.
