60g new frequencies since 6.48.2

Hi Antonsb i tried to email you via the mikrotik email support but i dont think you got it ?

Install season is now, don’t want to wait until winter.

Why do you whait fir ay so much? it will be more expencive doesn’t 1 gb enough?) Just make cheap ad working with 71Ghz (or just up to 69) allso 1Ghz channel (option) would be nice

  • more PtMP stations per AP (15 instead of 8)
  • mesh network with GPS sync, all running on one channel

Yes 1Gb is enough for everybody… for now, but traffic doubles about every 2 years.
In some places it’s difficult to run fiber for various reasons (like, the road is owned by a hundred or so of house owners, and a few of them don’t agree).
Or some people don’t like overhead fiber lines because they are visible, and digging is much more expensive so only a much larger company can afford to do it quickly (and even then, they are still EU-subsidized and I have to compete with them using only my own money).
Cambium is already there but too expensive, I hope Mikrotik will work similarly well at lower cost.
First there was IgniteNet, it was expensive and didn’t work (well, worked on a bench, but not over 200m distance with clear LOS - even though it should according to their nice graphs).
Mikrotik came two years later with something that works. Not without some issues either, but already an improvement. Don’t stop at this please.

More stations is realy good, but what will be the price for MIMO tecnology and 10Gb lan parts+faster cpu? For me (I admit that it’s only my opinion) cheap AP with 1Ghz channel (more free space) makes it an easey and cheap way to place more cheap AP and cheap cpe. Mesh network need wide antennas, but its much better to use nerrow cpe with greater signal. Hope mikrotik will make new ad hardware that kan operate 69Ghz and has an optional 1Ghz channel
IMHO 1Gb is realy enough. It’s hard to say, when will someone realy need more. I’m doing great with 100)

I want a 60Ghz Omnitik. Actually a 60+5 Omnitik. Couple of extra PoE out ports to run other radios.

A mesh would be the holy grail here. With 'ay hardware and link rates I’d be perfectly happy with a single radio mesh (halving each hop) because there is plenty of capacity for today and I can slot in backhauls at intervals down the road to increase capacity/ reduce the number of hops.

Omnitik PoE 5 ac + two WAP60Gx3 is available today and close to what you want :slight_smile:

Hello,
Was sent this link to look at issues we are having with our CUBE60ac. Our situation is that we need 3 non interfering 60ghz channels. When we first looked at using these for short range links (all 3 are under 500ft - line of site) we were told that we should have no issues with self interference.

First:
With the upgrade to 6.49.2 stable. We are finally seeing cold weather issues go away. We have had some nights here in Minnesota drop down to -17 to -22f actual air temp. under the previous version of firmware, these radios failed at +7f.

Under the previous version of firmware we had access to 66960, it has disappeared and 66000 seems to have issues. Under 6.49.2, 66960 says it is not supported.

Since the Master side of these links are 3 feet apart from each other on the same building, what channels should we set them to?

Second:
The 5ghz radios are worthless. They won’t link up for more then 3 seconds, we understand that there is interference from wifi from the buildings they are mounted on but in 5ghz there are more then just 5.7-6.0 available. We see that the Slave side can receive all the way down to 5120, the master cannot. Also power control is strange and doesn’t seem to work. Also changing the bandwidth from 20mhz to 10mhz makes the radios fail and it shows them not to support the narrower bandwidth. What are some useful hints to pump up the power and get these radios to link in 5ghz?

Thanks
Jason

Sorry we are at 6.49.2 on all CUBE 60ac devices

How did you do that? Tried on many different firmwares and links no luck
