OmniTIK U-5HnD and RB711-2Hn have been added to our product list on http://www.routerboard.com

OmniTIK U-5HnD

OmniTIK is a weatherproof outdoor AP with dual-polarized omni antennas - the perfect companion for our SXT, or for any other 802.11 standard device.

Weatherproof, durable and ready to use. It has five 10/100 Ethernet ports, PoE support and a built-in 400mW 802.11a/n wireless radio. It supports Nv2 TDMA technology with up to 200Mbit aggregate throughput.

LED signal indicators on it’s back are fully customizable, show Ethernet activity or wireless signal - or any other information from RouterOS. The USB port gives the ability to connect a 3G modem or a storage drive. The OmniTIK runs RouterOS with all it’s features. Suggested price at distributors: $119 http://routerboard.com/OmniTIKU-5HnD

RB711-2Hn

The RB711 is a small CPE type RouterBOARD wireless router with an
integrated 2GHz 802.11b/g/n wireless card. RB711 includes RouterOS - the operating system, which can be a router, firewall, bandwidth manager, a CPE and more - all at the same time. This device has one MMCX connector, allowing single chain connectivity. The integrated wireless card is capable of up to 27dBm transmit power output. Built in 16kV ESD protection on RF port. Suggested price at distributors: $45 http://routerboard.com/RB711-2Hn

This is a bad copy of Rocket M5. Where is the external antenna connectors on Omnitik?

3

why would you call it a copy of anything, if you then say that’s it’s completely different?

4

normis when we can expect any of RB751?

5

I guess I was expecting the OmniTik to have 2.4 GHz capability. Is this something that might be coming later?

6

SXT is 5GHz, so OmniTIK is 5GHz, as they are a good match. Later, we will also have these products in 2GHz.

What do we want? Groove 2Hn

When do we want it? As fast as humanly and production line possible!

:laughing:

I know we can assume the Groove 2Hn will be on its way, but any guide lines?

Also, 711-A-2Hn? No Level4 version? Any reason?

Really excited to see the 711- 2Hn has a much more powerful radio in it! :smiley:

I was honestly hoping for the Omnitik with a 2 GHz solution.
Normis, If SXT is the target CPE(SU) for Omnitik why just the 7dbi Antenna??
Should 7 dbi be good enough for 3 km PtmP links?? I would like Mikrotik’s take on that.

The MFM for SXT looks a good shot but I find this super

Will tryout both myself and post reviews

Which purpose might ports 2 to 4 of the Omnitik serve?
As the brochure states these four ports are just plain 10/100 Mbps ports. No PoE-Output.

10

do these ports support VLAN tags like the CISCO Catalyst 2950 L2 switches. Then i guess the ethernet ports r quite useful.

11

Yep, we can all join and plug our laptops in it. We will be invincible. I can’t find any use of omnitik.

12

I think that Omnitik will serve well in PtMP scenarios.
But one Ethernet port would have been sufficient.

If Ports 2 to 5 would also be able to output PoE,
then we could feed the omnitik with up to four backbone links
using only ONE cable (for power and data) to the roof of the tower.
The Omnitik would then also serve as the towers router.

But maybe the Omnitik got a nice PCB-layout like the RB750
in order to modify it for PoE-out on ports 2 to 5.

If anyone has high resolution images of the PCBs front and back,
show them here, please.

13

Well, ok, it is a nice toy: i think 2.4ghz version is useful in some little works, but i’m also worried about this way.
Today wisp’s business needs devices level “carrier class”, not toys.

14

I see OmniTIK as a Especially awesome low cost Microcell AP. Or perhaps MikroCell? :slight_smile:

Its only going to be good for a few miles/kilometers.

This product reminds me a lot of the Motorola Canopy Advantage.. except it has 5X The bandwidth and costs 10% as much

I would like it to be a 120degree sector. This would triple the gain
and does make sense for wallmounting. But for small sites with 1-2km
radius omnitik is a good product. There are not much H-pol omnis
out there. I’m wondering how good it works with 50sxts connected.
So lets see how it performs.

16

This is VERY VERY VERY GOOD PRODUCT.

I real need this product to expand my wireless. As the cost suggests, it is nice to use in micro cell - a targeted area. With NV2 and low power the device can be used with solar power that comes with small solar panels.

Mikrotik we trust you! Keep it up!! :smiley:

17

Was waiting for this product to come out, but was hopring for it to be 2.4 Ghz :frowning:

I dont see much use for it at all in my network. :frowning: Back to plan B

18

50sxts on 1 omnitik. i wonder if it can handle 10 sxt in a crowded city.

19

Depends on a huge number of factors. Including Oversubscribtion ratio, bandwidth limits, usage requirements, frequency availability. Interference, adjacent

channel spacing, antenna placement, total cost path analysis. Many things.

10? For sure if you know what you’re doing.

50? i don’t think its design implementation includes this large of CPE’s in its scope. But of course, theoretically possible.

If you want a 120 Degree sector here is your integrated Mikrotik solution:

or

and

http://streakwave.com/ItemDesc.asp?ic=AM-5G19-120


there is your integrated solution. 350 bucks, 120degree sector.

I dont understand why people clamor for solutions when they already exist.

Omnitik is a great low cost high performance device, whats to complain about?? Use it for its intended purpose, or find a different solution.

because they are lazy/don’t want to search, read, think, try or pay … or they are actually smart ?
