It features a modern dual-core ARM CPU, Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 Gigabit SFP for fiber connectivity, a USB port, and a free miniPCIe slot that allows further customization. You could, for example, add an LTE modem for a mobile internet backup – we’ve added a NanoSIM slot on the NetMetal! But there are other options, like adding a gateway for LoRa IoT setups, such as our R11e-LR8! A powerful dual-band, dual-chain Wi-Fi 6 radio offers increased speed, stability, security, roaming, power management, and other features, compared to the previous wireless protocols. Two RP-SMA connectors allow adding an antenna of your choice for distances up to 30 kilometers. If necessary, you can adapt the NetMetal ax for lower range use with such antennas as our HGO-antenna-OUT screw-on omni antenna unit. It provides 3.3dBi gain for the 2.4GHz band and 5.5-7.1dBi gain for the 5GHz band. If you’ve read this far, here’s a little bonus feature: we’ve kept the good old beeper for various alarms or creative outputs.
