I can't get over the small gain MT uses.
It also bugs me that the FCC seems to be all about massive amps
and small antennas rather than the reverse.
If it was actually about interference PTP shots with narrow
beamwidth is preferred. I suppose it is too much to ask for
those in our government that set the regulations to actually
understand the tech they're regulating.
I suppose it could be the manufacturers are going with big amps
and small antennas, but it seems that would cost more.

The SXT antenna were always too weak. Give me 25 dBi or
give me death. Well, okay, I don't feel that strongly. I
just won't buy it if not.

We’re starting the move to .ac with MT now. The
922UAGS-5HPacD has the same dimensions as
the 911/411 Boards so we just replace boards.
We get good results with Mars Antennas with housing for
P2P. The SXT-Antennas are to weak for .ac.
The 19db Mars Antennas give good CPE/short range PTP with a
small footprint. We use these as
Sector-Antennas where we have to cover small areas.
The .ac firmware adaption is quite new but we see stable
results in the 300-400 Mbit/s range for short links.
The .ac boards have faster CPUs so they may increase
11n-Speeds/NAT Performance.
The 922-Board has a SFP. Ethernetport has moved. Due to
this the RFElements Stationbox XL do not fit.
MT .ac does PTP and PTMP and is downward compatible to
older boards with 11n/a.
SXTs with .ac are not stable with the latest sw-release. So
as always with MT you’ve to betatest
HW/FW-combination to get it running smooth.

*Betreff:* Re: [AFMUG] rocket ac lite performance
Yeeeeaaaaa, I don’t’ think so. If you use Ubiquiti you
pretty much know what works and what doesn’t. in reality,
you use as few custom features as possible outside 802.11
compatibility and limit the radios to Layer 2 bridges or
nothing more than NAT whenever possible. Try not to use any
of the customer features although AirMax seems to be
working pretty well. You just don’t want to add anything
that adds to processor overhead on an AP for Rocket M5’s if
you have a higher density. When the Titanium’s tanked a
couple years ago, there was a huge hole in any kind of AP
product with the ability to handle density due to the
processor but nobody filled it. It still hasn’t been
filled to my satisfaction meaning we aren’t replacing
Rocket 5M’s any time soon and we are keeping them at 50
users or less for another few months. However, NetFlix and
video streaming means we are pushing that down to a planned
30 over the next couple of months. That numbers are just
estimates but somewhere between 30-50 under heavy video
streaming usage and AirMax will start causing issues.
If you allow torrents or anything that opens up a massive
number of connections, then the number of users per AP
drops significantly which is why we run filtering on the
back end to reduce that. I’ve seen APs with less than 30 go
apoplectic with a couple of wild torrent users.

For the first question, I have no idea, since the only
released radios are PtP at this time. Pretty hard to tell.
For the second one, "ubntboys" (at least the informed ones)
don't run airsync, because they know it doesn't work well. :)

The ptp-lites do have airmax offloading? I thought
they didn't...
We've had a link running for awhile, but it's got
some noise issues, so it hasn't really been the
best place to test these... that said, they've been
running fine without any real problems that I've
noticed.

ptp lites are missing the internal shielding (i
think?) as well as airprism tech
they do have airmax offloading, but it's also a
brand new product line... some bugs are showing in
the software

How are the rocket AC's performing for you
guys? Throughput? Bugs?
