The thing is that is hard to get high speeds and long distances at same time. For example, reach 150Mbps, with Chateau you can do it, but only with some meters (Not 10 Km for example).
LtAP (Not mini) has a Gigabit port that let's to get more than 100Mbps of speed, great. Also let attach external antennas (But is really hard to find some one that really have a lot of gain [+15dBi]), anyway, the possibility exists. Also support 2 connections at same time for backup, really great! But for example if MikroTik create an high gain antenna only to attach to LtAP, would be perfect. The complete solution finally would exists. I not know why MikroTik not creates antenna only to attach to connectorized devices to offer a more complete solution.
Yes, exists mANT LTE 5o, but is not for long distances, low gain antenna. At least a little variety of 700Mhz - 2700Mhz antennas would a really flexible solution (For example, the actual omni antenna + some pannel or sector antenna [Arround 10 dBi] + a dish antenna [Like actual LHG, but it to attach to LtAP]. For lucky I'm happy with my L-COM antennas (10 dBi pannels).
The idea is if I buy a LtAP (Or any other device that let attach external antennas), I would have the possibility thanks to MikroTik to attach low gain external antenna, mid gain external antenna or high gain external antenna. Very flexible.
The most common is find on market generic antennas that appears to be "toys" and I never trust on these antennas. If MikroTik make antennas I will trust at 100%. And find a really trustly brand of LTE antennas is really difficult.
