It is a good information! 
@normis
I think that held MUM in Japan!
You should post about the MUM Conference in local forums, blogs, your own website. Help us get more users, so we have nice conference in Tokyo
Any news on the hAP AC units?
PowerBox:
Why do you update the PowerBox and then NOT put in Gigabit ports??? PowerBox is very nice, EXCEPT that it still does not have Gig ports?!
Why do Mikrotik clinge to these 10/100 ports on new devices when hardly any other manufacturer bothers to put in anything else then gig ports in new products nowadays??!!
in Europe we have nice broadband speeds, but most of the world still has a few megabit connections. We do have many Gigabit devices, but each product is more suited for a different purpose. We will probably have Gigabit Powerbox too in the future.
Hi Normis,
It has been mentioned in the past that there would be 802.11ac products with “nice” appearance, and also that there would be products with proper 802.3af POE.
I was wondering how these are coming along ?
We are looking for a Mikrotik product to deploy to Medium sized and Enterprise clients with Capsman. Something that won’t look out of place in an office environment, and something we can power from standards compliant POE switches found in your typical business e.g. HP, Cisco, Juniper, Extreme.
I hope they will have more than 4 POE out ports. Thanks
You know I can’t say anythng without proper announcement at a MUM or at least to Distributors first 
Thanks Normis, the process is clear now
Hello,
any news about RB3011 Series .. on March ( CZ MUM) Mikrotik announced that will be released in Q2 …
Best Regards,
Daniel
I would be happy if the RB3011 got delayed to prepare a dual band ac version.
Why are people so keen on Dual band SoHo devices? With a lot of SoHo 5Ghz devices it will just create the same noice problems that now plagues the 2,4Ghz bands outdoors!
If it were up to me as a WISP, I would BAN all indoor use of 5Ghz and preserve that band for outdoor use ONLY for WISPs.
2,4 Ghz devices function perfectly in indoor envirnoment, and are even better then 5Ghz devices in means of “penetrating” walls/floors/ceilings and such. And also interference and noise is usuly kept on a tolerable level since the walls and such create natural barriers for “opposing” APs.
I remember the last 2,4 Ghz outdoor site I had, it was a nightmare in the end, so much noice and interference that even if customers had good signal the quality was so bad they hardly got any throughput anyway.
I fear that is the same scenario that might happen to 5Ghz if evry Tom, Dick and Harry is gonna put up their fancy new 5Ghz APs and mess around with frequencies into wrong channels! There are always enough Home AP geniuses that doesnt care/doesnt know there are certain frequensies that can be ussed for certain purposes!
So in my opinion, in an ideal world the SoHo APs would stay in 2.4ghz band, and 5Ghz would ONLY be used in outdoor WISP networks!
(Oh, well a guy must be allowed to dream a little bit from time to time! ;D loool )
I understand that many parts of the world probably doesnt have “European” speeds yet and therefore maybe do not need gig yet.
But my point is just if Mikrotik would simply standarize on using ONLY 10/100/1000 ports in all products I guess the sheer volume overall would very soon cancle out the probably slightly higher cost of gig ports from Mikrotiks suppliers.
And ALL customers would be happy, since some1 that can use 10/100 can also use 10/100/1000, but not optimaly vice versa !
It would also mean fewer parts and versions of products to maintain and develope?! Or am I seeing this wrong?
In any case, I am looking forward to Gig PowerBox! 
PowerBox is a very handy product especially since it also has a powerconnector that the OmnitikUPA sadly lacks! And in many of my older battery sites this fact saves me a lot of rewireing when I nowadays upgrade to new POE capable equipment!
Basdno
802.11ac requires 5GHz that is why.
Also in high density campus and office deployments you really need the extra channels.
I know, thats why I added the part of dreaming in the end! ;D Sadly such dreams seldome come true! lol
While I agree with you, that 5GHz should be kept ‘clean’ from SoHo devices, I strongly object to the preservation of 5GHz only for WISPs.
What about open wireless communities? Or simply a p2p link between friends? Why should a WISP have more ‘authority’ on the band than private individuals (for which the band was given license-free in the first place) ?
No WISP owns 5GHz. As a matter of fact - at least on my country - commercial use of 2.4GHz & 5GHz is technically illegal (but no one cares to prosecute anyone).
The point being, that if you want to do business, you should pay for the frequencies you use like any other company does for production links (eg: GSM, WiMax, whatever).
As private individuals we have a tiny space of our own license-free band to play with and by WISPs coming and taking over that band, to me that’s just an exploitation of a frequency that was meant for real people, not for companies.
I know most of you -being WISPs- will ‘attack’ me for saying that 
I don’t want to use 2.4GHz which is overcrowded by WiFi, Bluetooth, cordless mice, microwave ovens, wireless speakers.
I cannot wait for the day when I get rid of my last 2.4GHz-only WiFi device so I will shut down this WiFi band at home.
As most people have no idea, I think what all routers should do is auto shutdown radios that are never used.
I may have been a bit unclear about it, and rereading my post I can understand that it may have looked like i meant that the 5Ghz band would be reserved for WISPs only.
This was not my intention, of course the 5Ghz band is a licence free band that all can use also communeties and p2p between friends and such as you mention.
I simply wrote the post from my perspective as a WISP conserned about the interference problems that we have already seen in 2,4Ghz band and that may come to 5Ghz soon, I guess I could have been more clear about that!
My point was simply, let 5Ghz reign the outdoors and let 2,4Ghz reign the indoors!
But as a former poster also already pointed out that is just a pale dream coming from a small WISP!
(By the way, you make it sound like all WISPs are big multimillion dollar companies that can afford paying large frequency fees. This is very often NOT true! ;D All companies have to start somewhere! )
