Data Limit in MikroTik Vouchers

Managing data consumption in vouchers is essential to optimize your network’s resource usage. With MKController, you can configure personalized data limits in MikroTik vouchers, ensuring efficiency, cost savings, and a balanced experience for users.

This functionality is especially advantageous for internet providers, businesses, or public places like cafes, hotels, and coworking spaces, that offer temporary internet access. Check out the main benefits below:

Why set data limits on MikroTik vouchers?

  • Prevention of excessive use: Control bandwidth usage and prevent a single user from negatively impacting the experience of others.
  • Cost reduction: Maximize infrastructure efficiency by using resources in a balanced way.
  • Fair user experience: Ensure everyone has access to a proportional share of the available bandwidth.
  • Simple and efficient management: Monitor data consumption in real-time with detailed and accurate reports.
  • Ancillary revenue: Allows your partners to sell system access in locations with low signal coverage.

Data consumption also enables satellite projects where costs are tied to consumption, such as Viasat, Starlink, Globalstar, Hughes, and others.

Before proceeding with the configurations, make sure to meet the following prerequisites:
