In the world of routers, machines that function directs the address on the Internet, Cisco is a name that has no doubt. But in another world, a Mikrotik, in the form of software, known as a fairly inexpensive solution provider for the router functions, we can make even the router itself from a home computer.
For developing countries, Mikrotik solutions help ISPs or small companies who want to join the Internet. Despite the many available devices similar mini NAT router, in some cases the use of computers and software is the best solution for Mikrotik. Mikrotik is a small company based in Latvia, adjacent to Russia, its formation was initiated by John Trully and Arnis Riekstins. John Trully is an American who immigrated to Latvia and met a scholar Arnis Physics and Mechanics at around the year 1995.
In 1996 John and Arnis began to routing of the world (Mikrotik vision is to routing all over the world). Start with Linux systems and MS DOS technology combined with Wireless LAN (W-LAN) Aeronet speed 2Mbps in Molcova, neighbors Latvia and then served five customers in Latvia. When I asked how many customers it serves today, Arnis call between 10 to 20 customers only, because their ambition is to create a software router that reliable and spread around the world. This is somewhat contradictory with the information available on the web Mikrotik, that they have 600 points (customers) and the largest wireless world. And with wireless in Yogyakarta and Bandung alone, chances are they are unable to compete.
Their basic principle is not a Wireless ISP (WISP), but make the program a reliable router and can be run on the entire world. Latvia is only a "place of experimentation" John and Arnis, because now they have helped other countries including Sri Lanka which serves about four hundred customers.
Linux is the first time they use the 2.2 kernel which was developed jointly with the help of 5 to 15 person R & D staff are now Mikrotik routing rule the world in developing countries. In addition to the environmental staff Mikrotik, according Arnis, they also recruit freelance workers and third parties with the intensive development of marathon Mikrotik.
When asked who Mikrotik competitors, Arnis smiled and reluctant to say it. As I conclude there is no competition, Arnis with a little laugh mention one name that was already fairly well known as a manufacturer of special hardware for W-LAN technology, the Soekris of America. Their main goal is to develop software both for routing, while the hardware requirements will also continue to grow, so they make a variety of hardware associated with the software they develop.
Mikrotik spirit is a bit different than most similar companies in America, because they concentrate on developing software and hardware solution on her by inviting third parties to collaborate. And we can see the variety of devices that they offer become more and more, ranging from devices that work in the frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, up to the interface and the antenna.
Mikrotik expertise in software actually routernya, because they are seen selling the device with W-LAN omni antenna is highly not recommended its use in the W-LAN, because it is very sensitive to noise and interference. Despite a very clear purpose, namely to distribute the signal in all directions so that a cheaper solution.
Mikrotik popularity also spread to Indonesia. First admitted in 2001 to Yogyakarta through Citraweb by Valens Riyadi and friends, and then expanded into an inexpensive solution to build an ISP, especially those based W-LAN. What a coincidence, Yogyakarta is one of Indonesia's population in W-LAN use its greatest when compared to large area.
Success Mikrotik routing to the world is one example, that we are all able to help prospective Internet user to enter the virtual world, especially to help build infrastructure.
