I was just wondering when will Mikrotik consider to develop external antennas for indoor routers. What I would like to see is something like a RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN with a modem that connects via ethernet port to something like a SXT LTE6 kit and utilize it’s antenna. Mikrotik seems to forget that a lot of their long range LTE devices get installed on very high up towers. Pressing the reset switch or changing the sim up there can be a lot of work when a person could just press the reset switch or change the sim on the router on ground level. I should not be too hard for Mikrotik to program RouterOS to do this with current LTE and ethernet router devices.
I don’t understand, are you talking about LTE antennas or what?
RB4011 already has external antennas, as does hAP ac3, Chateau etc.
If what you mean is that the radios in the inside router would send the radio signal up the tower to an SXT mounted at the top of a tall tower - not gonna work. Radio signals in cables at the frequencies you are asking about have very high attenuation. In other words, even with a fairly small tower (short cable run), you could easily loose 99.9 % of the signal getting between the radios inside and the antennas outside. And by the way, you can’t carry that radio signal in a Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable anyway.
