I have to be honest, Mikrotik is improving its advertising marketing a lot and this personally makes me happy. If we listened to it a little more the advice here on the forum for hardware and software improvements it would be perfect! That said, I am very interested in that HAP GPON AX I would be curious about further details, I want to hope that the form factor is similar to the AC2 positionable vertically and horizontally and I add if we are still in time but I doubt it, to add the LEDs of the ethernet ports on the front! Maybe it’s my obsession but I find the LEDs very useful to understand at a glance if there is something wrong and where, I hate it when there is not even one LED (did someone say HAP AC Lite?) Team MK if we are in time make this slight modification! as for the 16MB flash of devices I honestly don’t know what to think, I don’t want to believe that IT engineers are so ignorant as not to think about the problem of ROS updates so I would like to believe that MK’s internal plans include either a division of ROS into two parts in order to save considerable space or something similar otherwise you are releasing in 2025-26 an already castrated device!
What about e.g. your home NAS, having 2.5 Gbps port? Not having at least one in 2025 is a fail.
My “home” NAS is on 100Gbit. 
Most of the wired computers are on 10Gbit, few of them are on 2.5Gbit. 1Gbit are only APs around the premises.
So it’s been 4 months since this roadmap was put out and I was told in March that the 5G ATL should be out about now (early April) .. I am under pressure to evaluate 5G outdoor CPEs before June installs so if anyone has a clue when the ATL would be shipping I’d be grateful to know if I should hold out for it.
What other cpe you are considering? Zte mc889 ?
Yes MC889 but Pro version, Zyxel FWA710.. but I would probably just jump at the ATL because of RouterOS flexibility which is going to save me another box at each site.
shouldn’t be long now. FCC should have been approved recently
Well one of my suppliers apparently already got hold of the sxtsq 5 ax which doesn’t even exist on the MT Website yet.
So I guess cause of holidays some data (like a new newsletter?) are delayed.
This is great news, thanks for writing it.
In June we will need a lot of SXTsq 5 ax for a project and we do not want to buy WiFi 6 products from other brands…
Does anyone know of any distributors that already have the LMP 5G available so I can get an idea of the cost?
I just got a box full of SXTsq 5ax and wAP ax goodies.. but still waiting on the ATL 5G
As I can’t find an FCC application for the new 5G devices yet I’m guessing it’s still gonna take a few months
have you seen that?

I’ve seen it.
It’s great that MikroTik is making an outdoor 5G CPE. Yes it’s EU-focused but has T-Mobile US’ NR bands.
I’ve been considering switching from T-Mobile Home Internet to Calyx (unthrottled T-Mobile reseller) if I could get an outdoor modem.
However, on my block I’ve seen many Verizon trucks so maybe I’ll get fiber and won’t need fixed 5G. While I can get cable, I have T-Mobile over Spectrum and Verizon 5G for upload alone.
I’m guessing that ordinary SIM slot will still be available and also an option to upload custom eSIM profiles. Some operators offer unlimited data for 10 days for example.
As I see in the Buying-Backend, they should be in the Shops around end of July.
Well it missed my project already.. strange that the tradeshow guy said in March it will be out in April and now it’s end of July. Quite a delay. I hope it’s not just because of the eSIM stuff because that will not be (at least immediately) relevant for most use cases of fast & directional 5G.
Finally a high gain 5G antenna might be coming from someone other then Zyxel… The ATL 5G looks promising and could provide the upgrade path for my LTE customers using the LHG-LTE
The Smallcell 5G also looks promising but will be a flop in the UK if it doesn’t also support N77.
Ideally a small cell needs to be able to support a few bands, the more it supports the more useful it is! Might even be useful if it supports 5Ghz n46.
In the UK small WISPS can make use of a shared access license to deploy 5G. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/spectrum/frequencies/shared-access
