I am very interested in new product - MikroTik mAP.
MikroTik Team - could You share some hardware specifications? Most wanted is processor 
It would be great tp have voltage monitor at mAP - is that planned?
You’ll need to contact the company directly.
Two usages for mAP crossed my mind as soon as I sawn it being announced:
1) Increase coverage in small shadow areas in indoor wireless networks, like stairs, elevators, shafts and rooms out of the reach of the mai wireless coverage.
2) Providing WiFi in my car to my devices and friends while on travel by pluggin a 3G dongle to the USB port.
For this #2 I was wondering how could I use the mAP USB port for both powering up the device (by plugging it to my car) and plug a 3G USB dongle to provide WAN access. Any clues?
for #2 why can’t you use the power from the cars battery DC, for example, cigarette lighter?
Because it’s/will be used for powering mikroTik mAP ?!
So, it should be 'normal" USB port at the mAP to connect all USB dongles DIRECTLY to mAP and have powered USB dongle from that port.
My doubts is how can I simultaneously power up mAP through the USB port and plug to it a 3G USB dongle. I’m not sure how can I achieve that.
mAP should have “normal” USB port (USB A type socket) to connect USB devices directly to it. NOT small USB port. And of course powering via PoE or DC input.
car have DC +12V or +24V so you can power it directly not through some DC-DC converter.
You are right. I haven’t seen that there is DC input - great.
But USB - i think it should be “normal USB port” - that means USB A standard input to connect USB dongles directly to mAP, not with any additional cable.
We also plan the option to connect the mAP directly to your laptop. That’s one of the reasons we chose a standard microUSB (any modern phone uses that type of cable). Another reason is the size of the mAP unit. It is really tiny. A full size USB port would make it bigger.
Normis, could You tell Us - what processor (CPU) will have mAP board?
AR9344 or older AR724X. But I’ll guess it’s the first one (cheaper and has integrated radio).
Excellent guess, but not correct. The CPU is the same as on RB951-2n
Ah… AR9330. My bad then
Hmmm…
so, it should costs about 20$
Another question about MikroTik mAP. Will it have voltage monitor? It’s very usefull feature, so it would be nice to have it at mAP.
no, it will not have voltage monitor.
Something like this device will be very nice:
HUAWEI E5151 Mobile WiFi
Any word on release date for this?
I’m also waiting for the release of this product and I’d like to know a release date/month, even if it is a wild guess. If it is going to take too long, I’ll buy RB751 devices instead of waiting.
