MikroTik Mission
We create Intel (PC) based network solutions, because:
Hardware cost can be adjusted to the client’s needs – contemporary or ‘server-quality’
Intel is the most powerful and most price attractive platform
Easy hardware upgrade
RouterOS can be easily upgraded with new functionality

MikroTik Mission (cont.)
How do we do things?:
We are a small WISP ourselves, therefore we are able to develop solutions for our customers based on our own experience
Our customers are:
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
Hardware wireless ISPs – more than 45 countries
Software RouterOS – almost all countries (120+)
Organizations requiring IP network solutions for their own needs – corporate networks (Intranets)
