I was thinking I would be the devils advocate, and ask this question:
Why go thru all the hassle of learning Mikrotik(Which, IMHO, Is a PITA),
when You can save the learning curve, and use Tranzeo, Deliberant or
even HighGain Antennas solutions that are cheap and easy to administer
and a M0n0wall box at the NOC?. When You combine the assembly required
for all the WRAP boards, buying the pigtails, and all of the other good
stuff that goes along with being a MT shop, learning the management GUI
etc., You could be up and running in no time with a M0n0wall box and
gear shipped directly from the OEM's all ready assembled and ready to
go. And M0n0wall is very easy compared to MT, and if You were so
inclined, You could use the default settings and have a fairly decent
network with an old P III and 512M of RAM, which is MUCH cheaper than
any MT box. Granted, MT has a few more features, but the average WISP
doesn't need half the stuff that is in there. Any thoughts?
