Power Consumption with LTE Products.
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2019 7:58 pm
First of all I want to congratulate all the mikrotik team for the latest products released to the market.
Since some time ago we were waiting for mikrotik to bring to the market a finished product that included LTE / 3G / GPRS to stop having the need to resort to third party routers connecting them to mikrotik routers.
These last months have launched very interesting products such as:
We are proving and using these equipment in remote places where we never use the wireless connection, but it would be very interesting if the equipment had the minimum consumption possible, because it work with solar panels. The LTE/3G/GPRS connection spend less than 50Mbytes per month.
At the moment we deactivate the wireless cards from the Winbox and put the CPU at the minimum frequency but still the consumption is high. Is it possible to reduce consumption in some other way?
Have you thought about creating some equipment with very low consumption (it is not necessary to have a large cpu with many cores) with 2 or more ethernets and 2 or more mini-pcie to be able to have 2 LTE / 3G?
Thanks a lot,
