This is a dual polarity 802.11a\/n device that is all in one(16dbi antenna with routerboard).  They look like they are taking the UBNT nanobridge head on with this product.  The price tag should be around $90 and it ships with a level 3 license, though this is fine for station mode or to act as a bridge for P2P.<br \/>\nThis guy is supposed to have a standard voltage sensor as well as a temperature sensor.<br \/>\n400Mhz, 32MB RAM, 64MB flash.<\/p>\n<p>This router was built with <a href=\"http:\/\/routerboard.com\/pricelist\/download_file.php?file_id=267\">Nv2 in mind<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/routerboard.com\/img\/pricelist\/\/203_m.png\" title=\"sxtfront\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"199\" height=\"200\" \/><br \/>\nThe design reminds me of some licensed frequency stuff I&#8217;ve seen, so it definitely looks carrier class.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/routerboard.com\/img\/pricelist\/\/204_l.png\" title=\"back\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><br \/>\nYou can see on the back that they have the, now, industry standard signal LEDs.  The plastic clip system on the back looks interesting&#8230;almost like you will be able to disconnect it without too much trouble(unlike the nano bridges).  The little flappy flap hides the ethernet port as well as a USB port.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/routerboard.com\/img\/pricelist\/\/205_m.png\" title=\"side\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"200\" height=\"195\" \/><br \/>\nIt looks like the poll mount just clips right onto the back of the unit.
