Direct answer for buyers
The MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro is a two-device outdoor wireless bridge kit used to carry Ethernet traffic between two fixed locations with clear line of sight. It is primarily considered when a business needs to link buildings, warehouses, offices, security posts, or other network zones without trenching fibre. IT teams, system integrators, facilities managers, and service providers should evaluate it when Gigabit Ethernet handoff, compact outdoor hardware, and a 5 GHz fallback path are useful. Before proceeding, confirm the path distance, visibility between endpoints, mounting strength, alignment access, local radio regulations, cable protection, power method, grounding, required throughput, environmental exposure, and whether professional installation and RouterOS configuration are included in the quotation.
What the kit does
Each Cube connects to the local network through Gigabit Ethernet and communicates wirelessly with the unit at the opposite endpoint. The primary 60 GHz radio is intended to deliver a high-capacity, focused point-to-point path in spectrum that is generally less congested than common Wi-Fi bands. If the 60 GHz path becomes impaired, the integrated 5 GHz radio can provide an automatic backup connection. Because the pair is supplied preconfigured, the initial link is designed to be simpler to establish than building a link from two unrelated radios, although professional alignment, secure configuration, firmware review, country settings, and network integration are still important.
Who should consider it
The kit may be appropriate for organisations with two nearby sites that have a clean visual path and a practical mounting point at each end. Typical buyers include multi-building offices, schools, logistics facilities, hospitality properties, industrial yards, clinics, retail compounds, construction teams, CCTV integrators, and internet service providers. It is not automatically the right choice for obstructed paths, moving endpoints, non-line-of-sight coverage, indoor Wi-Fi access, long multi-hop backhaul, or situations where the required service level calls for a buried fibre route. A site survey should determine whether the path, expected capacity, weather conditions, and maintenance access suit the design.
Business challenges this product can address
No practical cable route
Roadways, rented property, landscaped areas, active yards, and completed buildings can make trenching disruptive or expensive. A properly designed wireless bridge can provide a network path without creating a new underground route.
Congested conventional Wi-Fi
Busy 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz environments may reduce predictability. The focused 60 GHz link gives buyers another option for short-range building connectivity, while the 5 GHz radio remains available as a fallback.
Temporary or changing sites
Project offices, compounds, and leased facilities may need a link that can be mounted and later redeployed. Suitability still depends on safe mounting, local rules, and the ability to maintain clear alignment.
Network extension for edge systems
A remote building may need access to central internet, servers, VoIP, access control, CCTV recording, or business applications. The bridge can carry the network path, while VLAN, security, and capacity design remain the responsibility of the wider network architecture.

Radio operation, permitted channels, transmit power, and practical link distance are region and environment dependent. Quoted performance figures should not be treated as a guarantee for a specific site without path assessment and correct installation.
Dependencies, compatibility, and prerequisites
The Wireless Wire Cube Pro is not a universal substitute for fibre, general Wi-Fi coverage, or a licensed carrier-grade microwave link. The primary 60 GHz path needs accurate alignment and an unobstructed route. Buildings, cranes, trees, temporary structures, signs, and even later construction changes can affect the path. Rain and atmospheric conditions can reduce the margin of a 60 GHz link, which is why the 5 GHz backup is useful, but the fallback radio may offer lower capacity and may face local interference.
The network at each endpoint must provide a compatible Ethernet connection, suitable VLAN or bridge design, and secure management access. PoE injectors, power outlets, cable distance, lightning protection, grounding, and shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet cabling should be reviewed as part of the installation. Local frequency settings and country configuration must be applied in RouterOS. Existing MikroTik 60 GHz compatibility may depend on protocol generation, software version, role, and configuration, so mixed-model deployment should be verified rather than assumed.
A professional installer should also consider pole diameter, wind loading, access safety, roof permissions, cable entry points, surge protection, and a maintenance route. For business-critical traffic, buyers should decide whether a second independent physical path, cellular backup, fibre service, or other redundancy is required beyond the integrated 5 GHz radio.
A practical purchase and deployment journey
Define the business need
Document what must cross the link: internet access, office traffic, voice, CCTV, access control, backups, or multiple VLANs. Record peak and typical traffic, acceptable downtime, and future growth.
Survey both endpoints
Measure the path, confirm visual clearance, identify mounting points, inspect cable routes, check power availability, and consider future obstructions. Photographs and coordinates improve quotation accuracy.
Confirm the bill of materials
Beyond the pair, the project may need outdoor shielded Cat6 cable, surge protection, grounding materials, brackets, poles, cabinets, UPS support, patching, and network switch ports. These items are site dependent.
Install and align
Mount both units securely, route and protect cables, earth the installation where required, apply correct country settings, and align the radios while observing signal and link metrics.
Configure and validate
Update RouterOS to an approved release, secure administrative access, confirm bridge or routing behaviour, configure VLANs and monitoring, test the 60 GHz path, observe 5 GHz failover, and record the final settings.
Hando over and monitor
Provide endpoint details, management addresses, backup configuration, diagrams, login custody, firmware policy, and support contacts. Continue to monitor signal, errors, traffic, and environmental changes.
High-capacity 60 GHz connectivity for focused links
The defining capability of the kit is its 60 GHz 802.11ay radio. This band is suited to highly directional short-range links and can provide a practical alternative where pulling cable between two points is difficult. Because the beam is focused and the operating band differs from common office Wi-Fi, it can reduce exposure to the congestion found in busy 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz environments. For a buyer, this matters when a second building needs access to the same network services as the main site but civil works are undesirable.
The advantage does not remove the need for engineering. A 60 GHz link depends on path clarity, alignment, installation quality, weather margin, and a realistic distance target. The manufacturer’s marketing material discusses links around one kilometre and reports longer controlled tests using Channel 5, but buyers should not use the longest demonstrated figure as a guaranteed deployment distance. The correct question is whether the path has enough margin for the required availability and capacity under local conditions.
Traffic design is equally important. A Gigabit Ethernet port defines the physical handoff, but application performance depends on packet sizes, RouterOS features, filtering, queues, encryption choices, VLAN handling, and simultaneous traffic. CCTV streams, backups, voice, cloud access, and user traffic should be considered together. FourTeck can help translate those needs into a capacity target and determine whether this kit, a different MikroTik 60 GHz model, fibre, or another backhaul method is the more appropriate option.
Automatic 5 GHz backup and continuity planning
The integrated 5 GHz radio is valuable because it offers an alternate wireless path when the main 60 GHz link is temporarily weakened. This can help preserve connectivity during adverse propagation conditions. The backup is built into the same outdoor unit and does not require a separate radio pair, simplifying the physical design compared with two completely independent wireless systems.
However, backup does not mean identical performance. The 5 GHz radio has a maximum stated data rate of 433 Mbit/s, and practical throughput will be lower depending on modulation, spectrum conditions, regional settings, interference, distance, and configuration. Business applications should therefore be prioritised so that essential traffic can continue if the fallback path has less capacity. Quality of service, bandwidth limits, alerting, and application policies can help prevent bulk traffic from consuming the available backup bandwidth.
Organisations with strict continuity requirements should also assess common points of failure. Both radios share the same mounting structure, Ethernet cable, power source, and physical site. A damaged pole, cut cable, failed switch, power loss, or blocked path can affect both frequencies. The integrated backup improves radio resilience but is not a substitute for a fully independent redundant route. A second ISP, fibre circuit, cellular service, or alternate wireless path may still be required for critical operations.
RouterOS management and network integration
Each Cube runs MikroTik RouterOS with a Level 4 licence. This provides more control than an unmanaged wireless cable replacement. Depending on the approved design, the units can be configured for transparent bridging, routed links, VLAN transport, traffic control, firewall rules, monitoring, and management access. The most suitable configuration depends on whether the buyer wants the two buildings to share one Layer 2 domain or to use routed separation between network zones.
A transparent bridge is simple for many deployments, but it can extend broadcasts and spanning-tree behaviour across the wireless path. A routed design can provide clearer fault boundaries and policy control but requires IP planning and may affect application discovery or legacy systems. VLAN trunking may be required where user, voice, CCTV, guest, and management networks must remain separated between sites. These choices should be agreed before installation rather than improvised after mounting.
Operational security also deserves attention. Default credentials should be changed, administrative services restricted, unused services disabled, management access placed on a controlled network, configuration backups protected, and firmware updates reviewed. Monitoring should capture link state, signal quality, traffic, errors, CPU load, temperature where available, and failover events. FourTeck can include configuration and documentation requirements in the quotation so that the kit is delivered as part of a managed network design rather than as isolated hardware.
Ideal business environments and use cases
Office campus
Link an annex, meeting facility, reception building, or staff accommodation block to the core network without opening completed roads or landscaping.
Warehousing and logistics
Extend connectivity to a secondary warehouse, gatehouse, loading area, or operations building where fibre work would interrupt an active yard.
Hospitality property
Carry network traffic between a main building and a separate service, accommodation, leisure, or administration block when visual clearance is available.
Education and training sites
Connect classrooms, workshops, sports facilities, or administration blocks while maintaining VLAN separation and central internet services.
CCTV and physical security
Transport camera, access control, or intercom traffic from a remote gate or building, provided capacity, PoE at the camera side, and recording architecture are designed separately.
Temporary project facilities
Provide a relocatable link for site offices or project compounds where a fixed fibre build is not justified, subject to safe mounting and regulatory compliance.
Integration and operational considerations
The bridge should be treated as one component of the network rather than the entire solution. Each endpoint normally connects to a switch, router, firewall, or local distribution cabinet. Confirm whether the port is access or trunk, whether Power over Ethernet is delivered by the included injector or a compatible switch, and whether a UPS should support the link. Where the remote building contains many devices, the downstream switch capacity and power budget may be more important than the radio itself.
IP addressing, DHCP, DNS, multicast, spanning tree, and VLAN design should be reviewed. Extending one broadcast domain can be convenient, but it can also spread faults between buildings. Routed links provide separation but may need static or dynamic routing and firewall policies. CCTV multicast, voice traffic, and latency-sensitive applications deserve specific testing. Monitoring should be integrated with the organisation’s preferred platform where practical, and alerts should distinguish a 60 GHz outage from a complete link outage.
Physical maintenance is part of operations. Mounts can move, cable jackets can degrade, connectors can admit moisture, and new obstructions can appear. Schedule visual inspections, keep configuration backups, document the original alignment readings, and record the exact hardware and software revision. These steps make troubleshooting faster and reduce the risk of replacing equipment when the actual issue is cabling, alignment, power, or path obstruction.
Buyer questions to resolve before ordering
Use measured coordinates or a site survey rather than a visual estimate.
Consider trees, construction, parked vehicles, cranes, signs, and seasonal changes.
List cameras, users, voice, backups, cloud systems, and growth expectations.
Decide which applications must continue if the 5 GHz path has lower capacity.
Confirm outlet, PoE arrangement, UPS, cable length, grounding, and surge protection.
Assign credential ownership, update policy, monitoring, backups, and support escalation.

How FourTeck can assist
FourTeck can help turn a product request into a complete and reviewable requirement. This may include confirming the exact MikroTik kit code, checking whether the regional version is suitable, reviewing the path information, identifying installation accessories, preparing a bill of materials, and separating hardware supply from optional implementation services. Buyers can also request guidance on whether the link should operate as a bridge or routed connection and whether VLAN transport, monitoring, failover policies, or security hardening are required.
For projects that need installation, the quotation can describe mounting, alignment, outdoor cable routing, termination, grounding coordination, RouterOS configuration, testing, and documentation. The scope depends on site access, working-at-height requirements, available containment, power arrangements, and customer network readiness. These items should be written into the quotation rather than assumed to be included with the hardware.
Explore additional network and security products, review available implementation and support services, or contact FourTeck with your site details for a tailored quotation.
UAE availability and support guidance
Contact FourTeck to confirm current UAE availability for the MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro, the exact regional version, included accessories, quantity, lead time, and warranty terms. Availability can vary according to vendor supply, hardware revision, order size, and project timing. A product-only quote should be distinguished from a complete installed-link proposal so that buyers can see which services and materials are included.
For Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ajman projects, FourTeck can discuss requirement review, delivery coordination, site information, installation planning, RouterOS configuration, testing, and support options in one combined scope. Site visits, working-at-height access, cable containment, permits, after-hours work, and civil activity remain project dependent. Share both endpoint addresses, photographs, estimated distance, desired go-live date, network diagram, and required traffic profile to support an accurate proposal.
GCC availability
FourTeck can assist organisations planning MikroTik wireless bridge projects across GCC markets, including requirements that involve the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, or Oman. Assistance may cover model review, regional version confirmation, quotation coordination, accessory planning, configuration scope, installation requirements, and delivery scheduling. The Wireless Wire Cube Pro uses radio technologies that are subject to local regulations, so permitted channels, power settings, and deployment responsibility must be confirmed for the destination country.
Product availability, vendor lead time, service visits, shipping arrangements, warranty handling, and implementation scope can differ by country, quantity, and site conditions. Buyers should provide the destination, exact kit code, number of links, endpoint distances, required capacity, mounting environment, desired schedule, and whether configuration or installation is required. FourTeck can then help structure a quotation that separates confirmed hardware, accessories, services, and dependencies. For Kuwait-related enquiries, buyers may also review FourTeck Kuwait technology support.
Africa availability
Businesses and project teams planning wireless backhaul in Africa can contact FourTeck for product evaluation, accessory review, licensing guidance where applicable, configuration planning, and regional procurement coordination. A point-to-point radio chosen for one location may not suit another because distance, rainfall, building height, interference, power quality, mounting conditions, import requirements, and local frequency regulations vary. The destination and use case should therefore be reviewed before the kit is quoted as part of a wider network design.
Availability and fulfilment may depend on the exact MikroTik model, regional version, quantity, vendor lead time, shipping route, power arrangements, and required installation support. Buyers should share the destination country, number of links, site coordinates, expected schedule, required traffic, and support expectations. FourTeck can coordinate guidance for selected markets through its regional resources, including FourTeck Africa, technology services in Kenya, and technology services in Uganda. Local inventory, customs outcomes, onsite coverage, and delivery dates must be confirmed for each requirement.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the Wireless Wire Cube Pro kit?
The standard product is a preconfigured pair of Cube 60Pro ac devices. Each unit is normally supplied with its mounting hardware, hose clamp, power adapter, and Gigabit PoE injector. The exact regional packaging should be confirmed in the quotation.
Is a separate RouterOS licence required?
No separate RouterOS purchase is normally required for the kit because each unit includes a preinstalled Level 4 licence. Optional support, configuration, monitoring, and third-party services are separate scope items.
How far can the kit operate?
MikroTik positions the Cube 60Pro ac for point-to-point links around one kilometre and reports longer test results under specific conditions. Practical distance depends on clear line of sight, channel availability, weather margin, alignment, installation quality, and regional rules. A site-specific assessment is required.
Does the 5 GHz radio provide the same performance as 60 GHz?
Not necessarily. The 5 GHz path is intended as a backup and can be affected by interference, spectrum use, distance, and regional settings. Critical applications should be prioritised for fallback conditions.
Can the kit carry VLANs between buildings?
RouterOS can support VLAN-aware designs, but the exact bridge, trunk, routing, and security configuration must match the switches, firewall, and network plan at both sites. Configuration should be tested before handover.
Can it be used without clear line of sight?
It is designed for a direct point-to-point path and should not be selected for a blocked route. Buildings, trees, vehicles, cranes, and other obstructions can prevent reliable operation, particularly at 60 GHz.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. Outdoor radio installation involves safe mounting, accurate alignment, country settings, weatherproof cabling, grounding, surge protection, and network configuration. Local rules and working-at-height requirements must also be observed.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the number of links, both endpoint locations, estimated distance, photographs, mounting heights, traffic requirement, preferred schedule, cable routes, power availability, and whether installation, configuration, testing, and support are required.
