MIKROTIK RBM33G and modem LTE Cat 12 и Cat 16

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Good afternoon! Are you interested in the code to appear support for LTE modems Intel XMM 7560 Cat 16 and Quectel EM12-G Cat 12 for MIKROTIK RBM33G? And will she appear at all? They have an m.2 socket but they can be used in conjunction with a M.2 to mini pcie adapter. It’s just that Cat 6 modems are a bit outdated.

2

About what code you say/write and why the Quectel EM12-G will not work in ecm mode ?

3

I meant the drivers of these devices in RouterOS. In fact, I found on Wikipedia a list of supported 4G modems, but there was nothing fresh there. These modems stick to the RouterOS ? There is a new list of supported lte modems?

4

List is updated and we at community not know any more what we write at forum.
I help person with LM12-g, Tetil lm940..

5

It turned out to launch Quectel EM12-G? Will the Intel XMM 7560 Cat 16 work?

6

yes, one person use m2<>mPCIe adapter with that module and it works similar to EP06
MikroTik Chateau use that SoC too, EG12 but not in Global version.

Will the Intel XMM 7560 Cat 16 work?

I don’t know bcs this is a not module but SoC who is used in many modules like Fobocom - I personal not like that vendor bcs I not have any answers from their support.

Thank you very much, I will try!

Maybe better is wait… I don;t know how long but I sure that new LTE device from MikroTik will be

  • at M.2, Chateau is ready and probably his EG12 is a module at m.2 ? We not have sure until someone not check it.
  • all ppl wait for better LHGR XL + 1Gb port + LTE as m.2 slot for cat.>=12

and I have very big hopes at that new line of devices…

9

My hope if just for another SXT variant with an antenna purely designed for low bands, the same with a LHG (preferably with PoE out).

10

Currently we can wait… or build some similar to this one https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/projekt-mikrotik-lhg-lte-em7565-openwrt.11839/seite-3.html#post-262440

According to this review, MikroTik Chateau does not have an M.2 connector, and the EG12 chip is soldered to the motherboard. https://mikrotikon.pl/mikrotik-chateau-pierwsze-urzadzenie-z-lte12-i-routeros-v7/

12

exacly, that PCB have got prepared M.2 socket and we can just wait for new era of devices with M.2 & (EG16/18 and/or RG500Q) SoC modules. We must wait.

13

I have the fibocom l860 gl, cat16 m2 card.
Going to test in my ltap mini

hecatae write:

We not run the fibicom without a AT Command book, the seller not prodive it, the Fibicom support not answer to us and we stop at 1 unit of this device.
If you want use it then proper docementation and support is a first step..

15

AT command book is here https://www.docdroid.net/gEsTYmk/fibocom-l860-at-commands-user-manual-v323-pdf

Reading at present

I write in general… I have this and few others documentation but what we need is to know how to
*) change a mode between ECP/MBIM/ADB on module
*) Disable USB3.0 bus, for use USB 2.0
*) do a Cell Lock if it’s supported
*) get all signals data if RouuterOS not show them
*) setup manualy APN if RouterOS cannot do that properly
*) set a own IMEI on module if possible

Those are topic’s who must be answered in our projects and official support, distributor not prodive answers and we migrate to Quectel modules.

is accessible in USB-mode in v6.49.x ( used 6.49.15 ) … but not in v7.x.x ( seems ACM usb-serial-support is removed in v7 [?] )
.
modem show’s no signs of life as a PCIE-device in router-os … there are lots of undocumented AT-commands avail. ( to force pcie-mode [?] ) … but … no coop from fibocom … so far ¯_(ツ)_/¯
.
ppp-interface is not working because of a PIN-problem … surmise: un-matching mini-pcie–m.2–adapter in use
