maybe SXT 60 ad
?:
This would be an excellent product.
You would clean up from the fibre and cable companies in high density urban deployments. Virtually no interference and an AP every ~500m.
Yes. This is a good frequency for microcells. CPE Mounting is more complicated as it does not forgive misalignment.
If MT makes a CPE, let’s hope they put a SFP+ port on it. It would also be nice to have a high power gigabit POE in and two POE out gigabit ports. We could use the POE for cameras or two more radios for a daisy chain and relay.
It looks like the fcc may be opening up another 7GHz of spectrum so the 60GHz band is about to get busy.
Does someone have new infos an mikrotik support 802.11ad?
thanks in advance.

no mikrotik is sleeping on wireless news…
i guess it happen in age of 802.11ax adoption, which among other improvements - converge 60Ghz within it.
past-AX tech will borrow UWB tech from both bands, likely.
seems that Normis is drinking from february )) no news letter no devices no nothing xD
Anyone considered laser as a PtP link? OK, it is not RF or Mikrotik, but it can work in some cases…
Yes. But this is a whole different thing. These Lasers need extreme good and stable mounting and they are sensible to fog and dust.
So yes. There are applications but very rare. I’ve seen unused links as the owner seized to use them due to problems.
Normis informed us, that Mikrotik ist investing the implementation von 802.11ad cards to Mikrotik since 2013. Nothing changed since this. I am a constumer since 1997, our whole WISP system and our whole data center is using Mikrotik Hardware. But If Mikrotik will not change something in inplementing new and needed drivers, we have to leave Mikrotik. I am very upset, about this. If a Wisp is using Ubiquiti, you have 24 Ghz, 11 Ghz, 3 Ghz, 2.4 Ghz, 5.4 Ghz and much more possibilities. Mikrotik is bringing nothing for WISP’s anymore.
So my last question about this, will there be a solution for 60 Ghz, Wigig, 802.11ad? Please Normis inform us.
thanks in advance.

I don’t even have an ac router.
Doing the whole network with one vendor is not a good idea. No vendor is best with all equipment. As you noticed MT falls back on wireless. Not every new vendor is as good as he claims. Ignite 60 GHZ is a big fail. Quite unstable. They have to replace a lot of their units. Mimosa does not get their SW done. … So select cairfully and test a lot …
