This high performance device is an all-in-one integrated communications platform for high-throughput Ethernet and wireless based networks.

Its simple and robust design ensures reliable non-stop operation of the unit. Compared to Geode SC1100 based boards, this power-efficient design performs 2 to 3 times faster thanks to a MIPS 4Kc core CPU architecture.

From the base configuration of 3 Ethernet ports and 2 MiniPCI slots (for wireless cards) it can be extended by using daughterboards for four more MiniPCI slots, or even up to a total of 15 interfaces (9 Ethernet ports and 6 MiniPCI slots). A wide range of accepted input power means that you can connect to almost any direct current power source you already have on site. It also can be powered through an Ethernet port using Power-over-Ethernet technology (802.3af) or passive non-standard PoE.

RouterOS and Linux (reference Debian GNU/Linux image and source available) can be used to operate this board.

RouterBOARD 564

The RouterBOARD 564 is a daughterboard for the RB532. It attaches to the RB532 (see picture) by means of special daughterboard connector and adds four more MiniPCI slots and six ethernet ports.

Note! You can not use more than two AR5414 chipset (e.g. R52) cards in RB/564. If you want to use three or four miniPCI cards in RB/564, you should use other chipset based ones for those extra slots, like CM9. For example, two R52 + two CM9 is OK, four CM9 is also OK, but not three or four R52.

RouterBOARD 502

The RouterBOARD 502 is a daughterboard for the RB532. It attaches to the RB532 (see picture) by means of special daughterboard connector and adds two more MiniPCI slots
