MQS looks interesting. Newsletter says the following:

  • Power it with a USB power bank and it will power your CPE over PoE, while you configure it

The question is, when MQS is power with a USB power bank only, what voltage can be expected on PoE output?

From the product page
https://mikrotik.com/product/mqs

Passive PoE, 12 V 400 mA (when USB 5 V input is used)

Really ?
Still no CRS354 switches ?
Really ?!?!

I expected to see more in thenewsletter. At least a couple of words for ROS 7, and maybe some new useful devices.

Two PSU is a good news, really. While PoE in is something that was there for years, RB with 2 PSU appears at least like “pro” equipment :slight_smile:

Audience… Expensive toy, with questionable wifi coverage, so it is not only design that’ll push users to get one. I’d love to read “howto” article on how to set up such a device(es) across generic building to archive good wifi, and comparison to (say) Unifi devices. Wifi is not something that should be placed openly and visibly so there should be something really useful but look in it.

Still no CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S switches (outdoor, reverse PoE)?

Will there also be a R11e-LoRa4 ?
Or is that market not large enough to be interesting…

Nice one.

What about one MQS with one ethernet port for POE IN and another ethernet port for POE OUT. The new ethernet port will be only used to get power from the current wire, and also can be good for do not have the device down so much time while configuring it.

It will be easier to disconect the Mikrotik device ethernet cable, connect it to the MQS2 (new device name) and add another ethernet cable from the MQS2 to the Mikrotik device. We won’t need the the USB Power Bank, and we get rid about problems of out of battery on the Power Bank.

Regards,

I had the same idea. Would be very handy for sites already with power. No need to have 12V to 5V converter or carry an USB power pack.

.
It’s already available, the RBmAP2nD has POE in and POE out.

So excited to see a tri-band AP finally is available
Will Mikrotik have a tri-band cAP or wAP later?

I want to congratulate everyone for getting to v7, and thank you for your work!

When wilkl the lora package be available for the mmips based devices like ltap or RBM33G?
These would be the perfect devices with the lora and an lte card

Yes!
What about: CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+ ?

Still coming later this year.

When will newsletter 92 appear? Newsletter 85 was released last year on this day. :slight_smile:
I look forward to new products. (CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+)

Any updates coming soon to the CCR range??

Hi Normis, please can you tell us more info ?

We always announce new products in MikroTik User Meeting (MUM) events first.

The next two Mum’s are on the 14th of November and the 28-29 of November. My money is on Brazil in two weeks.
