There was a lot of hype about Terragraph a few years ago. Today 802.11ay devices still limited to 8 stations per AP and still no mesh capablities while Cambium and IgniteNet already have shipping products. Some places near me would be perfect for such a mesh solution, but soon another round of EU subsidized fiber by the big telecoms may remove the need for it. Is anything still being worked on, or better to abandon all hope?
Hello,
While Terragraph initially generated hype, the current limitations of 802.11ay devices with regard to station capacity and lack of mesh capabilities have hindered its widespread adoption. However, companies like Cambium and IgniteNet have already released shipping products with mesh capabilities.
Any new information in addition to simply repeating what I wrote in slightly dlfferent words?
Don’t pay attention, those who approve the posts of new subscribers do not distinguish between ChatGPT messages or real messages…
Maybe the new 5 moderators “elected” today will avoid making the same mistakes on the future…

Ahh I see now. Still not clear why anyone would bother to post such answers - do they get paid for it by ChatGPT, or some kids just do it just for fun because they have too much time on their hands?
LHG60 upgraded to 7.10.1 shows some traces of Terragraph in interface/w60g/print:
terragraph-peer-mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 terragraph-fw-params=“”
but nothing terragraph-* in “set” and it is not clear - is it still work in progress, or already abandoned they forgot to remove?
No, the mechanism is simple, someone pays someone else, most of which use IPs assigned to India or VPNs,
so that they spread the links to their site as much as possible to increase the ranking on Google & Co.
The spammer makes a first post, which a moderator who doesn’t notice is fooled, then gets approved.
After some time (even weeks or months), the spammer comes back and alters the original post by inserting SPAM links, sometimes hidden.
And the game is done.
This makes forum users uselessly waste time, who then get pissed off…
I can’t speak for MikroTik’s plans with 802.11ay devices, but as long as they make stuff using Qualcomm chips, they’ll be limited by the chip’s capabilities.
Personally, as I outgrow my wAP 60 sectors, I’m replacing them with Tachyon Networks’ radios for short range, and Ubiquiti’s Wave products for long range. Tachyon’s radios also have 2.5Gbps ports, making it easier to compete with fiber plans.
Not seen any changes to wireless at all for ages, not complaining though as working fine for me. ptmp NV2. Only thing I wish is Mikrotik would come up with something to compete with ubiquiti AF60-LR for long range 60Ghz backhaul links.
Is there any other vendor’s 60GHz AP which would allow more than 8 clients AND (some of) these clients can be MikroTik 60GHz devices?
It’s very costly to replace all client devices on customers roofs (people who climb roofs to install antennas are in very short supply, as they can make much more money installing solar panels because of crazy electricity prices, among the highest in the EU), much easier to just replace one central AP (even if expensive, but just one).
I really need a solution to connect more than 8 stations, 2.5Gbps uplink would be nice to have but even 1Gbps is OK, number of stations is more of a limiting factor than total bandwidth. To avoid big competitors with EU subsidies driving me out of business, I just need to provide 300 Mbps download which is easy even with 802.11ad (as not everyone uses their “up to 300 Mbps” simultaneously, even GPON relies on such statistics), but 8 stations is very little, 15 would be better though still not much. 802.11ay was supposed to add some kind of TDMA so hidden node is no longer an issue - what happened to it?
Is cross-vendor over-the-air compatibility really too much to ask for? Do all 60 GHz products use proprietary extensions over 802.11ad/ay standard WiFi, so devices from different vendors can’t be mixed in one PtMP wireless network?
Same here
LOL just replied to my own post doh
