60Ghz Perplexed

So I’m sure we are not the only one that cannot understand the logic of MT some days…

SXTsq 60Lite - Understand the logic works well up to 300M’s with the AP, but limited by the lack of a Gig port.

SXTsq 60 - Where are you please come soon. We would happily pay more for this as we have a real need.. The Wireless Wire client is only good for 150-200M’s so limits the middle ground.

Wireless Wire Dish to AP - This allows up to 700M’s with a AP, but is a much more obtrusive install.

Normis I understand your comment about 8 Clients 125Mbps etc, but the problem is we are competing with full fibre installs in the UK and a speed test at 100Mbps is not what they signed up for or expect. We offer 100, 250, 500 and 1Gbps plans and having that missing product in the middle is a real pain

The wireless wire has the same wireless performance of SXTsq 60

Not quite, in testing we can achieve longer links with the SXTsq 60Lite in the region of a extra 50-75m’s.

Also the internals are slightly different, the board used is the same as the LHG 60 Dish.

What you are missing is the point about aesthetics and from a install point the ease..

It would be good to know the roadmap for the 60Ghz kit.

wow this is a new info on SXTsq 60Lite, waiting for some words from mikrotik

Don’t expect nothing on the roadmap from mikrotik actually news come earlier from distributor

upgrade you wAP60G devices and performance will be similar.

When will you release something like DISC 5 size client antenna (for ~700m distances) with gigabit lan?

The answer is to simply not oversell or use under specified product. FTTP is becoming gradually more available in the UK but so far I am yet to see a BTOR rollout of Gb capable service, most people we deal with even with FTTP end up opting for the 80/20 due to cost.

I too raised the question about why have 100Mb interface on a 1G capable device and in retrospect it makes sense. You can also use the wAP60 in PtMP and if that is not enough then use an LHG60G, whilst there is a “common sense” gap in the middle, I’d say just install an LHG60 and reel in the additional gain.
