NetMetal5<\/h2>\n

\"netmetal5\"<\/a>
\n\"netmetal5b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • 2X2 dual chain<\/li>\n
  • 802.11AC<\/li>\n
  • datarates of up to 866Mbps (for D models)256-QAM modulation<\/li>\n
  • 20\/40\/80MHz channels<\/li>\n

    JJ might see 80MHz channels out in the mountains, but not in my town…too dirty for that here.<\/p>\n

    mANT30 Dishes<\/h2>\n

    \"mant30\"<\/a>
    \nA new round of 30dBi dishes. They look to be modeled after rocket dishes along with a quick mount for the mANT. They look very UBNT-esqe, and with the Mikrotik logo on the side I’m betting they are going to be solid pieces of kit.<\/p>\n

    SXT AC<\/h2>\n

    \"sxtac\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • Up to 1300mW RF output<\/li>\n
  • Up to 540Mbps throughput<\/li>\n
  • Supports passive PoE and 802.3af\/at PoE input (15-60V)<\/li>\n

    These cute little SXTs run AC. Claims of 540Mb P2P have me all a twitter. If this is exaggerated I’d still be pleased to see 220Mb. <\/p>\n

    mAP 2n<\/h2>\n

    \"map\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • PoE in 10-57V<\/li>\n
  • Built in 2GHz AP<\/li>\n
  • microUSB for a 3G\/4G modem (includes adapter to standard USB), or for power input<\/li>\n
  • Station or AP mode wireless<\/li>\n
  • Any type PoE input 802.3af and 802.3at<\/li>\n
  • Passive PoE output (same as input voltage)<\/li>\n

    These cute little guys are more expensive than I would have liked(I believe the 951 is cheaper), but they look fun non-the-less…and they are giving them out at the MUM!<\/p>\n

    CRS109<\/h2>\n

    \"crswireless\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • Full wire speed switching<\/li>\n
  • Configure ports as switch, or for routing<\/li>\n
  • If required, full RouterOS routing power right there <\/li>\n
  • Built in 802.11b\/g\/n Wireless AP 1000mW<\/li>\n
  • Desktop case<\/li>\n
  • Color touchscreen LCD<\/li>\n

    So I was waaaay off on my price guest. So I know Cox has one of these and he says they are getting better…perhaps it’s time to try one? Line-rate gig with an SFP port…it appears to have built in wireless. I think if I wanted a gig switch with SFP uplinks I would check out the TP-Link. What the Link doesn’t have is an SFP+ port…nor does it route. The routing performance on the CRS is equivalent to a 2011. I suppose it may fit well in a small soho.<\/p>\n

    So you guys excited about the AC stuff or what?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
