Whether MT will support these cards?
AR9462 is a 802.11a/b/g/n and bluetooth card 
mmcx?
wilocity 6120 chip is 60ghz gigabit 802.11ad .
Currently we don’t support any type of 802.11ad, but we are reasearching the possibilities.
Can you tell what with 802.11ac chipsets? Qualcomm has new QCA9800 chips - will they work with Mikrotik?
We are researching both, but we don’t support any one of them at the moment.
why?
no, and not in rc10
It’s good to here Mikrotik is already looking forward for upcoming standards!
Is there a plan to share results or some experiences of researches?
Hi Guys.
Has anyone been able to get their hands on one of these cards. Would love to start experimenting with them. looking for a 50 metre 60GHZ bridge
I notice the drivers are being incorporated into Linux, so might be possible to create a point to point bridge.
It takes some time to make support for all the advanced RouterOS features.
For sure, I understand that from mikrotik point of view. I’m sure short range 60GHZ is not going to be a mainstream product. These cards were announced quite a while ago, basically what I am trying to find out is if I can get my hands on two, are they even available for purchase.
If someone made a cheap 60ghz point to point I would simply buy it and not worry, but nobody does…the existing solutions are simply physically too big for 50-100m hops and the price of them (sub10, bridgewave) does not make sense for such short links (over a road, etc)
In many scenarios we simply have to cross a road, building to building…
When will mikrotik support 802.11ad?
thanks in advance.

Athena Wireless has the A060mini 1000mbps FDD link in the 60GHz band. $5,995.00 (I use them.)
Siklu has the EH-1200FX 1000mbps FDD link in the 80GHz band. $6,080.00 (I have the $3,500.00 EH-1200LT on order. Only 700mbps TDD so 350x350 or 500x200).
Siklu has a new 60GHz link ((Coming soon))but I don’t think it’s gigabit full duplex and the price is to be determined.
There are three other companies working on small short range 60GHz units. But I don’t think they will be at the super low price we all want.
Athena Wireless looks like the Huber&Suhner Devices which are now Sub10.
60GHz is a very good option for very short hops (up to 500m). 80GHz is usable depending on the country. You need a wide band so licensing cost may be very high. In some countries it is very cheap.
The Athina uses the same antenna and enclosure but the inside is Athena.
