MikroTik

Hi,

What do I need to build a 4-radio system, where 2 x 5.8 radio will be talking to uplink, downlink and 2 x 2.4 radio talks to the public? Does RouterOS support such features?

I’ll try to use everything Mikrotik, so please advice.

Regards

Sure you can do that.
You might be CPU-limited, depending on what throughput you want to achieve. 4 radios with reasonable traffic load puts quite a load on the CPU, which is why many people use >1GHz CPUs for sectored base stations like this. You might be able to use a slower (cheaper) CPU board if you only want a couple of Mbps though.

Mr. stephenpatrick,

Thanks for the reply ! But RouterBOARD 532 only come with 200~333 processor, do you have any suggestion on other products which can be install in a Waterproof enclosure ? i would like to reach the maximum throughput, A>--54-->B--54-->C and A,B,C--54-->Public

A to B to C on 5.8GHz and ABC to public on 2.4 GHz

Regards

Well IMHO avoid VIA boards, they lock at high speeds/bus utils.
(That being said, there are other users happy with them - but at lower utilisation I think). Shame, as the VIA is the lowest power X86 that we have seen.

Celeron M / Pentium M is probably the best bet, but you need some cooling system as the chipset runs too hot without this.

Where are you based? Some countries, that's a real problem, others not.
