MikroTik LHGGM&EG18-EA LTE18 Cat18 1.2Gbps Gigabit Router PoE

The MikroTik LHG LTE18 Kit (LHGGM&EG18-EA) is a self-contained, long-range last-mile broadband solution built around a Category 18 LTE modem capable of up to 1.2 Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink. Its integrated 17 dBi high-gain grid antenna reaches frequencies up to 2.7 GHz and covers an extensive range of LTE FDD and TDD bands, making it well suited for rural deployments and remote sites where conventional connectivity infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable. Carrier aggregation allows the device to bond multiple LTE bands simultaneously, improving throughput and responsiveness even in congested or weak-signal environments. A 64-bit dual-core ARM processor running RouterOS v7 with a Level 3 license handles routing and management duties, while a single Gigabit Ethernet port with 802.3af/at PoE-in simplifies installation on poles, masts, or other elevated mounting points. A passive heat sink and IP54-rated grid antenna enclosure address thermal management and weather resistance without active cooling components.

Key features & benefits

• Category 18 LTE Modem with Carrier Aggregation — The integrated CAT18 modem delivers up to 1.2 Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink by aggregating multiple LTE bands concurrently, providing a decisive throughput advantage in both rural low-signal environments and high-density user areas.
• 17 dBi High-Gain Grid Antenna — A built-in high-gain directional antenna with coverage up to 2.7 GHz enables reliable links to distant cell towers in locations where standard CPE devices cannot maintain a usable connection.
• Broad LTE Band Coverage — Supports LTE FDD bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, and 28, plus LTE TDD bands 38, 40, and 41, alongside 3G (WCDMA) bands 1, 3, 5, and 8, maximizing compatibility across international carrier networks.
• 2x2 Downlink MIMO — Dual antenna ports enable 2x2 DL MIMO operation, improving spectral efficiency and link stability under challenging RF conditions.
• Gigabit Ethernet with 802.3af/at PoE-In — A single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port accepts 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet across a 12–57 V input range, with a bundled PoE injector included, eliminating the need for a separate power run to the mounting location.
• RouterOS v7 with Level 3 License — The embedded RouterOS Level 3 license provides full routing capabilities including static and dynamic routing, firewall, and traffic management through MikroTik's familiar management interface.
• 64-Bit Dual-Core ARM CPU — An 88F3720 ARM 64-bit processor running at 800 MHz with 256 MB RAM ensures responsive packet processing and headroom for RouterOS feature use without thermal throttling.
• Passive Cooling and IP54 Rating — A large integrated heat sink eliminates fan noise and maintenance concerns, while an IP54 ingress protection rating and grid antenna construction allow reliable operation from -40°C to 70°C in wind-exposed outdoor installations.
• Micro SIM Slot and M.2 Expansion — A standard Micro SIM slot provides LTE connectivity, and one M.2 slot is available for additional expansion, keeping the platform adaptable to evolving deployment requirements.
