For a short, clear span between two buildings the Wireless Wire kit gives 1 Gbps full duplex for less than the cost of a trench. For spans up to around 1500 m choose the Wireless Wire Dish or the compact, snow-and-rain-resistant nRAY. Where rain fade matters, the Wireless Wire Cube Pro adds a 5 GHz backup radio.
ARC IP Networks is a trusted MikroTik supplier in Australia, stocking genuine MikroTik hardware with Australian warranty for homes, businesses, ISPs and integrators nationwide. ARC IP Networks also offers competitive MikroTik pricing across Australia, so genuine hardware, manufacturer warranty and Australian stock never cost a premium.
The 60 GHz kits compared
| Kit | Link | Range guide | Backup radio | Weather | RouterOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wireless Wire (wAP 60G pair) | 1 Gbps full duplex | Short spans, clear line of sight | — | IP55 | Level 3 |
| Wireless Wire Dish (LHG 60G pair) | 2 Gb/s aggregate | Up to about 1500 m | — | IP55 | Level 3 |
| Wireless Wire nRAY | 2 Gb/s aggregate | Up to about 1500 m and beyond | — | IP55, snow-resistant design | Level 3 |
| Wireless Wire Cube Pro (802.11ay) | 60 GHz 802.11ay | Medium spans | 5 GHz 802.11ac failover | Outdoor | Level 4 |
Distances are MikroTik's published guidance for clear line of sight; rain and obstructions reduce range.
When 60 GHz beats fibre
Two buildings on the same site, a shed across a yard, a second warehouse over a car park, a school block across an oval: anywhere a fibre trench means excavation, conduit and a contractor, a 60 GHz link goes in in an afternoon with two PoE cables. Because the beam is narrow and the band is uncrowded, 60 GHz links are also far less affected by neighbouring Wi-Fi than 5 GHz bridges. The trade-off is line of sight and rain fade, which is why range matters and why the Cube Pro carries a 5 GHz fallback.
Setup
Each kit ships as a pre-paired, pre-configured bridge. Mount both units with clear line of sight, power each over 802.3af/at PoE, and the link comes up encrypted. The far end presents a Gigabit Ethernet port that you treat like any cable run into a switch or router. For alignment on longer spans, the LHG dish and nRAY have narrower beams and higher gain, so use the RouterOS alignment tool.

Common questions
Straight answers from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed September 2026.
A pre-paired pair of 60 GHz radios that form an encrypted point-to-point link out of the box. Point them at each other, power them over PoE and you have a gigabit Ethernet bridge between two buildings with no fibre trench.
The original Wireless Wire kit is rated for short spans up to a few hundred metres at 1 Gbps full duplex. The Wireless Wire Dish and nRAY kits reach around 1500 m with a 2 Gb/s aggregate link. All need clear line of sight.
Heavy rain attenuates 60 GHz, which is why the long-range kits have more antenna gain, and the Cube 60Pro ac pairs a 60 GHz link with a 5 GHz 802.11ac backup radio that takes over during rain fade.
The 60 GHz band is licence-exempt in Australia under the ACMA class licence, subject to the equipment meeting the relevant power limits. Genuine Australian stock is the compliant regional variant.
Yes. The kits ship pre-configured as a bridge on RouterOS with a level 3 licence (level 4 on the Cube Pro), so they can be managed like any MikroTik device.
No. Each radio is powered over 802.3af/at PoE at its own end and presents one Gigabit Ethernet port.
