hAP ac3 looks wonderful!
Finally you decided to add external antennas to routers, what happend to all the talk how they are not needed you where telling us all this years when we complained about poor signal?
Excellent videos! Good to see the team and the products, puts a human touch behind the brand. Please consider making a 16 port PoE switch as described.
Antenna designs for MIMO systems
A very complex question that is completely misunderstood by 99.5% of technologists.
The above PDF by Queen Mary University of London does a very good job detailing the challenges of MIMO etc. If one is serious about current day wireless that is MIMO bound one should read and internally digest.
Yes it looks good, I am sort-of looking for a router to replace my aging RB2011 at home and this could be it (of course with an additional switch).
Unfortunately there are no performance specs for routing and IPsec. But I think the ipq-4019 should do IPsec acceleration so that should not be too bad.
hAP ac³ is not bad, but home AP market is really competitive and at $100 you can get more chains, working MU-MIMO or 2.5/5GbE ports.
But nice to see more than 16MB of flash!
Also bit disappointed by lack of 60GHz gear with SFP. I was hoping to see some new 60GHz gear announced.
I see you are adding it to some 5GHz models, but 60GHz PtP would make much more sense… and not a single 60GHz model have SFP right now.
That’s not so hard to figure out since hAP ac3 is based on hAP ac2 with more storage, more ram and external antennas. But the same CPU.
And.. the hAP ac3 LTE kit has the test results published..
If I remember correctly, the IPQ4019 is almost identical to the IPQ4018, used on the hAP AC2. It had minor differences, if I’m not mistaken on memory and NAND size limits. I believe the routing and IPSec performance will be the same of the hAP AC2.
