Mikrotik Blatantly Steals Design For Omnitik

Mikrotik is soon to ship a new all-in-one outdoor A/N routerboard, the Omnitik. While the product seems original, I’ve unfortunately obtained photographic evidence that leaves little doubt that the design is not original.

Here is the Omnitik:

Here is the carelessly pilfered original design:

A side by side of the shame follows:

Undeniable in this shot…how dare you Mikrotik…where do you get off?

Who knew the makers of Hello Kitty were radio geniuses…well, evidently Mikrotik did.

    Have had the OmniTik up for a few days now and it seems to be running very smoothly. what I like about 5 GHz is “no neighbors out there..No bandwidth to share..low noise floor about -117 DBm… Wow.. Home penetration seems weaker than 2.4 GHz..No surprise, and I expected it so no biggie… When it does connect, its fast.. Like to add a 2.4 GHz version right next to it. 🙂 🙂
