Mikrotik Base Station using Motorola Canopy SM radios

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

I’m looking to setup a base station using mikrotik equipment. My question is, I have about 40 client links running on the Motorola Canopy SM radios and I was wondering if there is any way of integrating these devices with the Mikrotik Base Station.

I haven’t decided on which equipment to use on the Mikrotik BTS because I need to make an informed decision if I can move my existing clients to the new BTS that I set up.

Any information on this will really be appreciated.

You cannot wirelessly connect Canopy SMs to a Mikrotik AP. Canopy uses a proprietary radio interface, which is not supported by any other vendor’s gear (except re-packagers of Canopy equipment, like Last Mile).

You can of course use Mikrotik equipment at the base station, for routing, switching, backhauling, and/or other functions; but the RF layer is completely incompatible.
