Load shedding has returned with a vengeance, with many suburbs being hit hard by power cuts, reaching levels of a severity not seen for four years. In today’s internet-driven world people can live without lights but not without Wi-Fi. We might not be able to solve the country’s power supply issues but we can offer you a solution to keep your Wi-Fi always-on. Beat load shedding and always stay connected with MikroTik’s LTE products.

To always ensure you are connected, start off your solution with MikroTik’s wAP LTE (MT-RBWAP-LTE), a small weatherproof wireless access point with a built-in cellular modem that supports 2G, 3G and 4G LTE connectivity. Then connect to the wAP’s built-in Wi-Fi and access the LTE network from your phone or any other wireless device. Connect the router to MikroTik’s mUPS (MT-RBmUPS), a simple and compact device to make your network more reliable, or for situations where stable power input is not available, like when load shedding strikes. Lastly, connect the mUPS with a single battery like Forbatt’s 12V 7.2AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery (FB-12-7). When using a typical 7Ah battery, MikroTik’s wAP LTE router can last up to 20 hours. It works just like a Gigabit PoE injector, but when power is lost, it switches over to the 12 V battery. The connected router will not reboot when the power source is lost, it will seamlessly switch over to the 12 V battery– meaning you’ll never miss a minute of connectivity.
In our tech-driven world, it’s really disruptive to have a few hours without Wi-Fi. But losing connectivity, due to load shedding, doesn’t necessarily mean losing productivity.
