The first units delivered of the OM2P-V1 in 2011 had 32MB of memory. The units were quickly equipped with 64MB of memory. Over the years, more and more functions have been added to CloudTrax, making the 32MB insufficient for the 6xx firmware, meaning that these older OM2P cannot be updated to the

A small component change has been made in the new OM2P0HS(V2), which means that the new units can no longer run on the old v481 firmware. Currently the latest firmware is v6.1.1, so this will not be a problem for most people. If this is a problem, we can still provide units upon special request

The Cloudtrax system has had virtually no outages so far, but today around 8:00 PM a malfunction occurred, causing a problem in the database. Ultimately, the decision had to be made to restore a backup of the database, with the result that all adjustments made on July 27 between 7:00 AM

Due to new FCC rules, a custom.sh file must from now on be approved by Open-Mesh before it can be used. This applies to the new models, such as the OM5P-AC. Click here for more information. Click here for some sample scripts.

The OM5P-AC was introduced in April 2016. This unit is an AC model in the small housing. The OM5P-AC unit will also initially be sold as an AC-ready model. It is expected that the AC firmware will be available in Q2 of 2016, with which higher AC speeds can also be achieved. This unit has four

From now on there is also a flash tool (as beta) available to provide an openmesh unit with (new) firmware manually. Click here for more information

In August 2015, an 802.11ac model was also added, the MR1750. This allows even higher speeds to be achieved (450+1300). This unit is initially sold as an AC-ready model. At launch, the throughput is comparable to the popular MR900. High speed ac options will become available via future firmware updates

In the 5xx networks, they have now also received a very nice extra option that is still in beta regarding channel selection. You can now have a cloudtrax network automatically determine the best channel numbers. Here, the units will look at the available channel numbers and signal strength of the access points at a fixed time at night,

We are working hard on even more functionality for cloudtrax. This additional functionality has been included in a new version of the cloudtrax portal (v4). The beta version of this new cloudtrax portal can currently be used. To do this, go to “Advanced” | “CloudTrax 4 Beta Opt-in” Then enter the following

New functions have been added to cloudtrax v4, including - WiFi Scheduling (automatically turn SSIDs on / off at certain times of the day) - band steering (redirect 5Ghz capable devices to the 5GHz band if they connect at 2.4GHz) - Bulk add access points (manually or via CSV file) ...

Due to the dollar exchange rate, we are forced to adjust the Open-Mesh prices per 15-4-2015.

As of today, a new openmesh model is available again. It is the OM5P-AN that runs on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. The access point is housed in the same small housing as the OM2P/OM5P and therefore also fits in the existing optional open mesh housings. There are also 3 internal antennas. One for the 2.4Ghz and two
