First cut: Standardized on Nanosta'on Loco M5 45° beam means each sta'on is likely to see >1 poten'al path!
Use with MikroTik Routerboard 450G at $69 ???
Note that each Nanosta'on has a built-‐in router but with sta'c routes only. Q: could we remotely manage rou'ng for cheap nodes with Ubqui' only?
