MikroTik ATL 5G R16 Outdoor 5G router (ATLGM&RG520F)

The MikroTik ATL 5G R16 is an outdoor 5G router built around the Quectel RG520F-EA modem, delivering high-speed cellular connectivity in a weatherproof IP66 enclosure. Unlike typical indoor routers, it mounts directly on a pole or wall and is powered via PoE, making it ideal for remote sites, rural broadband, or industrial IoT deployments.

Highlights

• Integrated 5G modem with dual SIM slots for carrier redundancy
• High-gain 9 dBi antenna for improved signal reception
• Gigabit Ethernet port with 802.3af/at PoE input
• Runs RouterOS with license level 4 for advanced routing features
• Operates in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C

In daily use

Connect the ATL 5G R16 to a PoE switch or injector, insert a nano SIM, and it immediately provides a 5G/LTE uplink. The dual-core ARM CPU and 256 MB of RAM handle NAT, firewall, and VPN tasks without breaking a sweat. Configuration is done through the familiar RouterOS interface, offering full control over routing, QoS, and security.
