MikroTik Audience 5G Router (RBD25G-5HPacQD2HPnD)
MikroTik Audience (RBD25G-5HPacQD2HPnD) Tri-Band Mesh Access Point
Overview:
MikroTik Audience is a tri-band home access point with one 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz radios, mesh technology, and a quad-core ARM 32-bit IPQ-4019 CPU. It is designed to deliver wireless coverage and capacity in large residential and business spaces. RouterOS is preinstalled and licensed, and the MikroTik iOS or Android app guides quick setup. Additional Audience devices can sync with the press of a button to create a single Wi-Fi network.
Description:
Audience is a tri-band home access point with meshing technology: one 2.4 GHz radio and two 5 GHz radios. It runs on the IPQ-4019 chipset and a quad-core ARM 32-bit CPU with a nominal frequency of 448-896 (auto) MHz, 4 threads, 256 MB RAM, and 128 MB NAND storage. The device includes RouterOS and RouterOS license 4.
For wired connectivity, it provides 2 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports. Power can be supplied through two DC inputs (DC jack and PoE-IN); DC jack input voltage is 12-57 V, PoE input is Passive PoE with an input voltage range of 24-57 V. Maximum power consumption is 27 W, and cooling is passive. Tested ambient temperature is -40°C to 60°C, and MTBF is approximately 200,000 hours at 25°C. The product carries CE, FCC, IC, EAC, and ROHS certification and has an IP20 rating.
On the wireless side, the 2.4 GHz radio supports 802.11b/g/n standards, Wi-Fi 4 generation, 2 chains, and a maximum data rate of 300 Mbit/s; antenna gain is 3.5 dBi and the chip model is IPQ-4019. The first 5 GHz radio supports 802.11a/n/ac standards, Wi-Fi 5 generation, 2 chains, and a maximum data rate of 867 Mbit/s; antenna gain is 4.5 dBi and the chip model is IPQ-4019. The second 5 GHz radio supports 802.11a/n/ac standards, Wi-Fi 5 generation, 4 chains, and a maximum data rate of 1733 Mbit/s; antenna gain is 4.5 dBi and the chip model is QCA9984. In mesh mode, additional Audience devices sync with a button press to form a single Wi-Fi network. In tests, a single Audience unit covered 1858 m² (20000 sq ft). The device ships with RouterOS preinstalled and licensed, and includes free software updates for the life of the product or a minimum of 5 years from the date of purchase.
