Can you work in superchannel in both PTP and PTMP on Wireless MikroTik devices?

Yes, it is possible to work in superchannel mode in both point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) configurations on Wireless MikroTik devices.

Superchannel mode allows the use of frequencies and bandwidths that are outside conventional Wi-Fi standards, offering greater flexibility in channel configuration and potentially less interference from other wireless networks.

What is Superchannel?

Superchannel is a feature of MikroTik equipment that allows non-standard frequencies to be used, as well as wider channel bandwidths to be configured than standard Wi-Fi regulations would normally allow.

This is useful in applications where additional flexibility is needed or where frequency bands are less congested, but it is important to consider that the use of superchannel may require additional licenses depending on local legislation.

Implementation of Superchannel in MikroTik

  1. License Required: To use superchannel on MikroTik devices, you need to ensure that the device has the appropriate license. MikroTik devices licensed at level 4 or higher generally support superchannel.
  2. Configuration in RouterOS:
    • Go to Settings: Use WinBox, WebFig, or SSH to access your MikroTik device.
    • Navigate to Wireless Settings: Go to the Wireless section and select the interface you want to configure.
    • Adjust Frequency Options: In the interface properties, you can select 'superchannel' in the frequency mode settings. This will allow you to enter frequencies and bandwidths that are not limited by standard restrictions.
  3. PTP and PTMP applications:
    • PTP: In point-to-point configurations, superchannel can be especially useful for maximizing link performance and efficiency, allowing the use of less saturated frequencies and larger bandwidths.
    • PTMP: In point-to-multipoint configurations, superchannel can help better manage spectrum resources, especially in areas where conventional frequencies are congested.

Legal and Interference Considerations

  • Regulatory compliance: Before using superchannel, it is crucial to check local regulations to ensure you are complying with all relevant telecommunications regulations. Use of unauthorized frequencies may result in fines or penalties.
  • Interferences: While the use of superchannel can help avoid congestion on the standard bands, it can also cause interference with other devices operating on the same non-standard frequencies if not managed properly.

Superchannel mode on MikroTik devices offers a powerful tool for optimizing wireless networks in both PTP and PTMP configurations, providing additional options for network administrators looking to maximize the performance and efficiency of their wireless connections.
