Well, I had meant Jamie Fink from Mimosa regarding the frequency usage in 4x4, but you're welcome too!
Bitlomat has a tool to take you to and from stock firmware. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jaime Solorza via Af" <[email protected]> To: "Animal Farm" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 1:02:57 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Next article posted - Chapter 52 Hum....interesting " However, now that you can put Bitlotmat firmware on Ubiquiti (and soon others) hardware, it’s more interesting.

There's simply no way to get the needed diversity for 4x4 in any way other than frequency. Their PtMP talks 2x2 to two clients independently via beamforming. That's the premise of Mu-MIMO. I had assumed it was all on the same frequency, but I don't believe I specifically asked that.

The price on the GPS radios is $500, so radio plus antenna for $130 doesn’t seem likely. The time from ePMP announcement to Force 110 was a year. The Force 100 came out somewhere in the middle. Compare that to Ubiquiti’s timeframe of what, five years between NanoBridge and NanoBeam? I also hate reflectors. Stupid idea when you try to say you’re not satellite… by putting a satellite dish looking object on their house. Radwin is a commercial play. No way can they compete in the residential area, and I’m not sure that they’re trying to. They likely enjoy healthy margins with their commercial and non-access plays. Still N, though. Trango’s PtMP is a joke. Proxim… maybe. It’s not as cheap as the other stuff out there, but it does have a respectable CPE price given that it is the only non-Cambium PMP platform to sync with Cambium PMP… only with more throughput. Still N, though. I had thought it was great that Bitlomat was in the industry, but it didn’t offer enough to persuade me to move. However, now that you can put Bitlotmat firmware on Ubiquiti (and soon others) hardware, it’s more interesting. GPS sync being field tested is interesting.Great for migration from one platform to theirs. AC in in the spring is interesting. They do have superior antennas compared to Ubiquiti. I’m hoping that they’ll be the first GPS AC system and likely at a lower AP cost than Mimosa. Mimosa will be the hands-down performance winner for the foreseeable future. I spent some time with Jamie to further understand the product and Kelly to further understand the company. The APs are reasonably priced, especially given their huge potential. Did you know that they have a Broadcom Network Processor in them, which they hope to do Barracuda\Procera-lite features with? A lot was revealed to me at the show. I assume since it was in public that it’s public knowledge, so I’ll save some of the gems for another time. I don’t share Rory’s affection for continuously upgradability. Give me the best of what’s out there. Customer adds in older sections can be done with gear that I’ve forklifted when going to a new platform elsewhere. All parts continuously moving while I make sure I’m using the best that I can. Where’s that quote of Robert’s from? A lot of Chicago references.
