Hi guys,
I'm the Andrew that Mike mentioned below. Our real-world test link is around 12km between two Geelong based MelbourneWireless nodes, and will consist of a netbox + sector AP, with an SXT as a station as soon as I can get my hands on them.
We've historically used mainly Ubiquiti radios with Mikrotik boxes on routing duty, but I'm very keen to see how these 802.11ac Mikrotik radios perform, as having the full RouterOS feature set on our radios would be very handy.
Cheers,
Andrew.

Hi Paul,
They haven't hit the ground yet! I ordered a couple of cartons of each
as soon as they were announced - that was at least 4 weeks ago - and they are only JUST in transit right now. They are due to arrive around middle of next week.
First up, the SXT models (CPE and AP product) are arriving next week, then
We do have a couple of closer options for testing if the SXT doesn't cut it over that distance without being too noisy. Otherwise it may be a good excuse for me to purchase another netbox to go with a 29dbi dish antenna I've been looking to repurpose somewhere... :) Cheers, Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Everest Sent: Monday, 28 July 2014 2:01 PM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 802.11ac SXT's 12km? Not so sure that SXT has sufficient antenna to give you anything useful over that distance :( Don't be tempted to run them over limit now, will you! :-} Since 802.11ac allows for 80MHz channel width, last thing we want to do is blow away usability of 5GHz spectrum in the area! ;-) Cheers! Mike. product the
'netbox' product is not arriving until the following week! ;)
As soon as I can lay my hands on some, I'll run some tests and see what can be done. We also have a 'real world' test lined up thanks for Andrew (also on this list) using one for a melbournewireless link. I'm expecting some honest assessment from Andrew - and will post the results here (if he doesn't do it himself! ;-)
Cheers, Mike.

Hi guys, has anybody used the new RBSXTG-5HPacD radios as yet and have
any comments ?
We have a couple of short P2P links we were looking at doing, about
1km - 3km, there is a bit of 5Ghz stuff already in the areas and was
wondering
how
these handle a bit of interference, we only need 100M but was thinking
about
trying the new 802.11ac gear when Duxtel gets some in stock.
Regards
Paul
