News from MUM09 – Mikrotik User Meeting

I have a buddy over in Prague right now at the MUM. I should have more news form him in the near future. For now this is what he has to say:

MikroTik announced today at the Czech MUM that a new product will be release soon, similar to the 450, it will be a wired router complete with case and power supply for $50 US. The case will be plastic.

This news is AWESOME. This power for $50, that’s unbeatable. I’ve personally gotten 95Mb UDP and 40-45Mb TCP through a 450 (with connection tracking). To get a competing product with throughput and feature-set, you are going to pay at least 7 times as much…and that’s grey market.
