Mikrotik RB800
If you do a little digging, you will find the RB800, which is set to release in a few weeks. This is a 800MHZ board which makes it the most powerful wireless board to date! It seems like on most tower installations, you are bridging at the radio and routing at the base of the tower. It looks like Mikrotik is trying to beef up the radio so much that you no longer will need to route at the base, all will be handled by a single piece of gear. I’m going to reserve judgment for some real world tests, but it looks like a pretty nice board.
It looks like they will be coming in around $340 over at BalticNetworks. Perhaps they will be kind enough to send me one for review (hint hint).

Nice scoop greg, been looking forward to a beefed up processor for a wireless board 🙂
Next up maybe an RB2000? (we can only hope)
Sup foolio,
I was thinking the same on the RB2000…perhaps just an RB1100…just an RB1000 with some miniPCI slots and possibly some daughter card connections. Talk about a one size fits all solution…would you need anything else?
