MikroTik ISP Starter Kit — 4-Device Bundle (Uganda)

MikroTik ISP Starter Kit — 4-Device Bundle

Launch or upgrade your ISP network in Uganda with everything you need in one complete bundle. This MikroTik ISP Starter Kit brings together four professional-grade networking devices — a managed fibre switch, indoor Wi-Fi 6 router, long-distance dish antenna, and outdoor sector antenna — selected specifically for Ugandan ISP operators running PPPoE, hotspot, and wireless last-mile networks.

Every device in this bundle runs MikroTik RouterOS — the most powerful ISP network operating system in East Africa — giving you full control over subscriber bandwidth, VLANs, firewall, PPPoE authentication, and routing from a single management interface. Pair your hardware with our ISP Billing & Subscriber Management Platform for automated invoicing, real-time bandwidth control, and mobile money payment integration from day one.

What's Included in the Bundle

1. MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN — Managed Fibre Switch

Estimated price: UGX 870,000 – UGX 1,010,000

The CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN is a professional Cloud Router Switch with 5 SFP (1G) ports and 4 SFP+ (10G) ports, plus 1 Gigabit RJ45 management port. This is your network core — connecting fibre uplinks, distribution switches, and your MikroTik routers at wire speed.

• 5x SFP 1G ports — connect fibre uplinks and 1G distribution links
• 4x SFP+ 10G ports — high-speed inter-switch links and uplink aggregation
• Full RouterOS/SwOS — VLANs, spanning tree, port mirroring, SNMP monitoring
• Desktop/rack form factor — fits in a 1U rack or on a desktop in your NOC
• 88W total power — fanless, silent operation suitable for small NOC environments

The CRS310 is ideal for ISPs aggregating multiple fibre drops, running inter-building links, or building a scalable core switching layer that integrates directly with your ISP Billing System for per-VLAN subscriber management.

2. MikroTik hAP ax lite (L41G-2axD) — Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Router

Estimated price: UGX 350,000 – UGX 420,000

The hAP ax lite is MikroTik's entry-level Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) router — bringing OFDMA efficiency and improved multi-device performance to subscriber premises and small office deployments across Uganda.

• Wi-Fi 6 dual-band — 2.4GHz (300Mbps) + 5GHz (1,200Mbps) with OFDMA for efficient multi-user access
• 4x Gigabit ports — 1x WAN (PoE-in capable) + 3x LAN for wired device connections
• Full RouterOS — PPPoE client, hotspot, firewall, and bandwidth management built in
• Compact desktop form factor — ideal for subscriber premises CPE or small office deployment
• WPA3 security — latest Wi-Fi security standard for subscriber network protection

Deploy as subscriber CPE on your PPPoE network — configure in PPPoE client mode and let your MikroTik core router authenticate each subscriber automatically through your ISP Billing Platform.

3. MikroTik LHG Series (e.g., LHG 5) — Long-Distance Dish Antenna

Estimated price: UGX 450,000 – UGX 650,000

The MikroTik LHG (Light Head Grid) series is a high-gain directional dish antenna designed for long-distance point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links — essential for Ugandan WISPs bridging kilometres between tower sites and subscriber locations.

• 24.5 dBi gain — concentrates signal in a narrow beam for maximum long-distance range
• 5GHz 802.11ac wireless — high-throughput backhaul for distances up to 20+ km (line of sight)
• Integrated RouterOS — full routing, bridging, and bandwidth management on the dish itself
• Weatherproof design — UV-resistant enclosure rated for permanent outdoor installation in Uganda's climate
• PoE powered — a single Cat6 cable delivers both power and data (use with MikroTik RBGPOE PoE Injector)

Use the LHG to connect remote subscriber clusters, link tower sites across valleys, or build a last-mile wireless bridge where fibre infrastructure is not available. Pair with our ISP Billing System for centralised management of remotely-connected subscriber groups.

4. MikroTik mANT / SXT Series — Outdoor Sector Antenna

Estimated price: UGX 380,000 – UGX 550,000

The MikroTik mANT and SXT series sector antennas are designed for WISP base stations — serving multiple subscribers simultaneously across a wide horizontal coverage angle from a single tower or rooftop installation.

• 60–90° horizontal beamwidth — covers a wide sector for point-to-multipoint subscriber distribution
• High gain — 15–20+ dBi depending on model, for reliable coverage up to 5–10 km radius
• 5GHz operation — less interference than 2.4GHz for ISP deployments in urban Uganda
• Weatherproof outdoor housing — built for permanent pole-mount installation
• RouterOS integration — manage subscriber connections, bandwidth, and routing directly on the antenna

Install the sector antenna on your tower or rooftop and serve dozens of subscriber locations simultaneously. Each subscriber's LHG dish points back to your sector antenna, creating a complete WISP infrastructure. Manage all subscribers centrally with our ISP Billing & Subscriber Management Platform.
