Was hoping for some 802.11ax news... really hope there's something coming soon!

CRS305-1G-4S+IN
Maybe a stupid question but could one use the above device as an ethernet translation/adapter device (ethernet in from the LAN, fibre out to specific locations or devices)?
The info says the ethernet is strictly for management so me thinks not.

your hope is misplaced, any news like that would be saved for MUM Europe anyways, not some monthly newsletter.

$15 ? Really?

LGH-LTe kit is really nice, but for $159 one would expect gigabit ethernet, especially since there's a cat4 modem inside...
Personally I use RBM11G with Wireless Instruments antenna/enclosure because Mikrotik doesn't offer gigabit LAN on any of their pre-made solutions.
And yes, I can go above 100Mbit with my connection because base station I'm connecting to is not overburdened.

I get your point, but this is mostly meant for locations where signal is very poor, this is why you use such a big antenna. And this also means, you use it in places where speed is not going to be so great. Otherwise, it would be enough to use a smaller LTE device.

wAP LTE and LtAP have built in WiFi access points that would allow to use the full benefit of CAT4 max 150Mbit speed

And more LTE products with old and slow cat4 modems...I dont understand how can anyone even get more than 100mbit from this, i cant get more than 30mbit sitting next to tower, while anything else from super old mobile phone(6-7 years) to 2x cheaper routers achieve at least 2x speed if not more..

Why cant u give us proper product with higher CAT modem like at least CAT6 would be nice?

In this MikroTik newsletter:

new CRS305-1G-4S+IN switch with four SFP+ ports
new LHG LTE kit with 17 dBi LTE antenna for extreme rural locations
new LTE card R11e-4G for extra bands (including 450 MHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 3.7 GHz)
DINrail PRO for LtAP mini

Finally the CRS305-1G-4S+IN will be available, looking forward to upgrade canadian grand prix com of my network to 10G.
Hopefully the CRS309-1G-8S+PC will follow soon.

i like the 4x port SFP+ switch!
Also, personally, i feel the complaints about no gig eth on the new LTE product are a bit overblown. its very rare to get 100m+ on a lte C3/C4 device of any kind. Also for those saying what about using this device in a city to improve a decent lte signal to better- it is my understanding that advanced LTE towers will turn down TX power on their side if your side TX is too strong (goal = to keep tx of all devices within a range/threshold for RF QOS). Even if im wrong about that, 100m FD eth is more than enough for cat4 LTE. Also on the MT side, the cost increase of gig vs 100m is not just the port / port chipset itself. Its also the gig POE injector mt has to provide + increase board cpu/ capacity.
