Sprint once owed our company $3M. Highly technical interstate access rate element issues. Sprint simply quit paying access charges. The judge said “I think someone owes someone else some money but that is about all I can understand about this case”. After I left the company they settled with Sprint and actually paid them $150K. Pussies...

This would save a wisp a ton of money if they decided to switch platforms as they would not have to buy new CPEs, just APs. They found some technicality in the DMCA, I believe, and it looks like either Cambium decided it might go against them (highly likely when trying to convince non-technical judges) or they decided it would just be less expensive to end it now. What looks to those of us who understand things like radio chipsets better than the average joe public like a no-brianer, is most likely incomprehensible to a judge or a selection of random people in a jury pool. Heck I've seen supposed "distinguished trial judges" not be able to tell which party is which in a property dispute because one party claimed to be the other by filing brand new articles of incorporation with the same name. I would expect trying to convince them the radio hardware was not proprietary would be tantamount to a fat man climbing mount everest without oxygen. Maybe "someone" will figure out a way to do this independently just in case they don't want to swap thousands of CPEs. I can't imagine it would be too difficult, but you might open yourself up to a new lawsuit. On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 12:21 PM Chuck McCown via AF <[email protected]> wrote: So who is who here. I guess I am UBNT? Paint my mounts sounds like flash my radio with the code of others. So UBNT could legally claim you cannot put Cambium code in their radios? So were UBNT customers putting Cambium software in UBNT radios? Or were people putting UBNT software in Cambium radios? I remember it happening at the time. I just don’t remember any details. The article says that the settlement involved Cambium paying UBNT. Assuming that is correct, the Cambium must have done something wrong.
