MikroTik CCR2004: Enterprise Core Routing for Lebanese ISPs

The MikroTik CCR2004 series represents MikroTik's second generation of Cloud Core Routers, built on the ARM64 Annapurna Labs AL32400 platform. Two models serve distinct roles: the CCR2004-16G-2S+ for copper-heavy deployments and the CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS for fiber-centric networks. Both are available at HI-GAIN's warehouse in Dora, Beirut.

Lebanese ISPs, WISPs, and enterprise network administrators rely on the CCR2004 for BGP peering, PPPoE subscriber management, and high-throughput NAT — tasks that demand consistent single-core performance under heavy load.

CCR2004-16G-2S+ vs CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS: Choosing the Right Model

The two CCR2004 models share the same CPU platform but target different network architectures:

Specification	CCR2004-16G-2S+	CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS
CPU	AL32400, 4 cores, 1.7 GHz	AL32400, 4 cores, 1.7 GHz
RAM	4 GB DDR4	4 GB DDR4 ECC
1G Ethernet Ports	16	1
10G SFP+ Ports	2	12
25G SFP28 Ports	0	2
Power Supply	Dual redundant	Dual redundant AC
Max Power Consumption	48W	49W
Form Factor	1U Rackmount	1U Rackmount
Best For	ISP edge, copper aggregation	Fiber backbone, datacenter

CCR2004-16G-2S+: The Copper Workhorse

With 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP+ 10G uplinks, the 16G-2S+ excels as an ISP edge router aggregating subscriber connections, a corporate gateway connecting multiple VLANs, or a WISP core router managing dozens of base station links. The dual redundant power supply ensures continuity during Lebanon's power grid instability.

CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS: The Fiber Backbone Router

Twelve 10G SFP+ ports and two 25G SFP28 ports make the 1G-12S+2XS a fiber aggregation powerhouse. ISPs with fiber rings connecting multiple tower sites or buildings use this router as their core routing platform. Single-tunnel throughput reaches 3.4 Gbps, which positions it for growing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments across Beirut and other Lebanese cities.

Single-Core Performance: Why It Matters for ISPs

Unlike consumer routers where total throughput matters most, ISP routers process packets per-connection. Firewall rules, NAT, mangle rules, and PPPoE all run on a single core per session. The CCR2004's ARM64 AL32400 processor delivers the best single-core performance per watt of any MikroTik CCR, outperforming older CCR1036 models despite having fewer cores.

For a Lebanese ISP running 500–1000 PPPoE subscribers with queue trees, firewall filters, and address lists, the CCR2004 handles the load without the packet drops that plague underpowered routers. BGP feed processing with full tables converges faster than on the previous CCR1009 and CCR1016 generations.

Deployment in Lebanese ISP Networks

As an ISP Edge Router

Connect upstream providers via the SFP+ ports, distribute to access switches on the Gigabit ports, and run PPPoE server with per-subscriber queuing. The 4 GB RAM handles large routing tables and thousands of active sessions comfortably.

As a WISP Core Router

Lebanese WISPs serving mountainous terrain in Mount Lebanon or the Bekaa Valley can use the CCR2004-16G-2S+ to aggregate traffic from multiple tower sites. Each Gigabit port connects to a backhaul radio like the Mimosa B5C or runs a trunk to an access switch. The two 10G SFP+ ports provide headroom for upstream connectivity.

Reliability During Power Outages

Both CCR2004 models draw under 50W maximum, making them easy to keep running on a modest UPS. The dual redundant power supply means you can connect one input to mains and another to a generator or battery system — a practical necessity in Lebanon where grid power is unreliable.

CCR2004 vs CCR2116: When to Upgrade

The CCR2116-12G-4S+ steps up to 16 cores at 2 GHz, 16 GB RAM, and an M.2 slot. ISPs processing more than 2000 PPPoE subscribers or running complex OSPF/BGP setups with multiple full tables should consider the CCR2116. For networks under 1000 subscribers, the CCR2004 offers the best value per dollar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MikroTik CCR2004 price in Lebanon?

Contact HI-GAIN for current CCR2004-16G-2S+ and CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS pricing. We offer competitive rates as Lebanon's authorized MikroTik distributor, with discounts for ISPs buying multiple units. Visit us in Dora, Beirut or check stock online at hi-gain.net.

Which CCR2004 model should I buy for my ISP?

If your network uses mostly copper connections and you need many Gigabit ports for subscriber aggregation, choose the CCR2004-16G-2S+. If your backbone is fiber-based and you need multiple 10G/25G links, the CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS is the better fit. Contact HI-GAIN for personalized advice.

Can the CCR2004 handle 1000 PPPoE subscribers?

Yes. The CCR2004's 4-core ARM64 CPU at 1.7 GHz with 4 GB RAM handles up to 1000 PPPoE subscribers with queue trees and firewall rules. For larger deployments above 2000 subscribers, consider upgrading to the CCR2116.

Does the CCR2004 have redundant power supplies?

Yes. Both CCR2004 models include dual redundant power supplies, critical for ISP deployments in Lebanon where power reliability is a concern. Maximum power consumption is under 50W, making UPS backup practical and affordable.
