NetMetal ac²
More power and advanced features, with the same
design philosophy as its predecessors – the new
NetMetal ac² AP is sturdy, reliable, easy to use and
extremely capable. This is the best way to add IPsec
hardware acceleration to your backhaul link! We have
added an out-of-the-box 2.4/5 GHz dual-band support –
no need for additional tinkering!
NetMetal ac² can handle massive loads, as it features
an improved 4-core CPU and 256 MB RAM. There is a
miniPCIe slot for an LTE or other wireless modules and
an SFP port for fiber. The NetMetal ac² can be a very
adaptable addition for all kinds of setups.
The enclosure has an IP rating of IP54 with protection against
splashing from any angle, but it can still be opened and closed with
one hand. Very handy in rough environments!

Two RP-SMA connectors allow adding an antenna of your choice. If necessary, you can adapt the NetMetal
ac² for lower range use with such antennas as our HGO-antenna-OUT screw-on omni antenna unit. It
provides 3.3 dBi gain for the 2.4 GHz band and 5.5-7.1 dBi gain for the 5 GHz band.
