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

The MikroTik GrooveA 52 (RBGrooveA-52HPn-US) is a compact, weatherproof outdoor wireless access point built around MikroTik's RouterOS platform. Designed for demanding outdoor deployments, it combines software-selectable dual-band operation across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz in a rugged, pole-mountable enclosure. The unit ships complete with an omnidirectional antenna (6 dBi at 2.4 GHz, 8 dBi at 5 GHz), mounting hardware, and a PoE injector, making it a self-contained solution for point-to-point links, outdoor hotspots, and last-mile connectivity applications. Nv2 TDMA technology enables up to 125 Mbit aggregate throughput, while LED signal indicators simplify installation and antenna alignment in the field. The US version is factory-locked to FCC-compliant frequency ranges and that restriction cannot be removed.

Key features & benefits

• Software-Selectable Dual-Band Radio — Operates on either 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n) or 5 GHz (802.11a/n) selected in software, giving installers flexibility to choose the best band for each deployment without changing hardware.
• Nv2 TDMA Technology — MikroTik's proprietary Nv2 TDMA protocol enables up to 125 Mbit aggregate throughput, reducing latency and improving efficiency in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links.
• Bundled Omnidirectional Antenna — Ships with a dual-band omni antenna rated at 6 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 8 dBi for 5 GHz, providing broad 360-degree coverage immediately out of the box.
• Passive PoE Powering — Accepts 9–30 V passive PoE input (maximum 6 W), allowing the unit to be powered over a single Ethernet cable from the included PoE injector without the need for a separate power run.
• N-Male RF Connector — The built-in N-male connector allows direct attachment to an antenna or connection via a standard antenna cable, offering installation versatility for diverse mounting scenarios.
• RouterOS License Level 4 — Runs MikroTik RouterOS at license level 4, providing access to a comprehensive set of routing, firewall, bandwidth management, and wireless features for professional network administration.
• Wide Tested Operating Temperature Range — Tested and rated from -40 °C to 70 °C, making the unit suitable for harsh outdoor environments including extreme cold and heat.
• LED Signal Indicators — Onboard LED indicators enable quick visual assessment of signal strength during installation, streamlining antenna alignment without requiring a separate monitoring device.
• FCC/IC-Locked US Frequency Ranges — Factory locked to 2412–2462 MHz, 5170–5250 MHz, and 5725–5835 MHz to ensure regulatory compliance in the United States and Canada; this lock is permanent and cannot be removed.
• Pole-Mount Ready Enclosure — Integrated pole attachment points and compact 177 × 44 × 44 mm, 193 g form factor make installation straightforward on masts, poles, or similar outdoor structures.
