MikroTik announced the new tiny CPE/AP device - Crossroads. It’s the smallest device made by MikroTik so far and has an integrated 802.11b/g wireless card. One standard 10/100 ethernet adapter is also integrated on the board and there are no additional expansion slots.
MikroTik is about to introduce the new RouterBOARD 600 series of extreme performance AP’s with the new RB600A board. It has four miniPCI slots, three Gigabit ethernet ports and two CF slots for storage expansion. The new powerful platform is built around a PowerPC processor, Freescale Semiconductor PowerQUICC II Pro MPC8343E running at 266-400MHz. It also supports daughterboard expansion, including the addons made for the older RB532 board.
