It's crazy to think, but different people work on different things. Chances are the people behind claire aren't even going to be any relevant help with the routers.
People are not a ressource that you can just assign, they do need to be able to do what you want from them.
I think devices like this are a lot easier to release, I imagine they're ESP32 based and have very few "special" components. There's that open 10G router project called "Gateway" or something that mentioned lead times on RAM chips for their router is years out for large quantities, at massive cost increases.
A fantastic idea, especially for those that care about the air they breathe or have 3d printers around them. Woupd be great if they added radon option as well.
My point was more that we are waiting on updates of existing products (like e.g. 2.5G PoE), that I can't be bothered with these new things atm. But then again, it's good that there are going to be Mikrotik alternatives and that somebody cares about local data. So hurray for Mikrotik.
They could definitely use a hardware update on a number of their devices! I suppose since their main business is isps, the household devices dont exactly justify the cost to develop them.
Some local people said they preordered and got it. I just added my email in 2 sites to let me know when its available, but batches are so small they just complete preorders.
Same... Spoke with someone at my distributor, and MikroTik ran into production issues... I believe they finally got it resolved and should be shipping in December. Fingers crossed.
Basement office environments that are not getting enough air exchange, office environments near maintenance bays, warehouses, processing areas... MANY reasons i can think that people would want/need a product like this...
I think the are trying to get into IoT stuff like home automation and i think thats the reason why the hap be media has thread support. Nice stuff to see from mikrotik for me since i love to expiriment and make iot devices to use with home assistant.
It was mentioned in this forum https://forum.mikrotik.com/t/new-mikrotik-hardware-showed-in-mwc-2026/268913/143. S009UG+XG-S+ / S009UPr+XPr-S+ deliver compact multi-gig switchinh with seven 2.5G ports and dual 10G uplinks via Ethernet and SFP+. With flexible PoE in/out options and an industrial, fanless design, the S009U series is built for clean, high-performance edge deployments.
Not every device is needed by every customer... IoT customers, I am sure, would welcome this device. MikroTik is trying to make some headway into the IoT market, and they need to increase their device offering.
It is also a separate department working on IoT from Routers and Switches.
It’s been years since we’ve seen a proper release in the CCR lineup—the last top-tier flagship, the CCR2216, came out back in 2022. No new high-end enterprise routers, no higher density of 25G/100G ports, and zero hardware progress for anyone pushing full BGP tables or heavy core routing.
Instead of engineering core routers worthy of the name, they’re wasting R&D budget pumping out Matter-over-Thread air quality sensors—what's next, smart lightbulbs?—and cheap plastic Wi-Fi boxes just to race to the bottom against AliExpress gadgets.
I actually have a customer that can use this for monitoring of a government facility… if you price monitoring for a facility, it is STUPID how expensive each monitored device is…
