    MTN fixed LTE allowed routers

    Well as long as we can start the process, heck, I can even borrow you guys one of those devices if it means we can get this done quicker :P

    @AfriFella @Afrigirl @AfriNatic can one of you perhaps just give us feedback if this request has been sent to MTN for review?

    MTN fixed LTE allowed routers

    I am carefully optimistic that all the FG621-EA based Mikrotik's would be approved if they are tested for simply 2 reasons: - It supports CA with the bands that MTN have (1+3 1+8) even 41+41 but I don't think MTN does CA there (Seems like @cavedog is the resident expert?) - Given that the...

    You see this is where I am going when I say we want the more "Commercial" offerings, with some of the Mikrotik's they can be powered with active PoE or passive PoE with 18-57V, all the cost and effort involved in getting 220V closer to have a shorter run of 12V when you can just push 48V with a...

    Well if you have fibre as the main connection your sites are probably located in an urban environment with plenty of cell towers close by, so I would expect nothing less, I have mostly remote sites with local WISP' providing the primary link and then I use LTE as a backup to the WISP's I have...

    It appears so... I don't even think they do any "rigorous testing" with the modems, I think it's simply a case of: Can it do at least 2CA on the bands MTN has available (There might be a requirement that it must be able to 2CA on any of the bands MTN has available 1+3, 1+8 etc I don't know?)

    CAT6 simply means 2 CA, it doesn't mean the carrier has access to those bands that the modem can do 2CA on. Which is why I suspect the old R11e Mikrotik modem was not allowed.

    I highly doubt it. Regardless of the packaging (Chateau, SXT, WAP) the restriction will be on the modem used on the inside I think, the Chateau LTE has had a new refresh in 2023 and it now sports a new Modem (FG621-EA) There are already a few new Mikrotik devices that use that new CAT6 modem (I...
