Winter is not our biggest problem in Phoenix but I understand. That's why I'm trying to plan new areas that I'm bringing on now for migration later without having to forklift.

Looks good. We've 1 link B5 running and 2 links ready to install. Like it very much. So I am quite sure A5 will be a great option. But I am not sure to get my hands on them before next winter starts. B5 was quite late here. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Af [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Rory Conaway Gesendet: Samstag, 21.

I've got the B5's and the do what they are supposed to, including sync. If the B5c is coming out in the next couple months, I'm kind of thinking the rest of the C5's should be okay. We had to present the C5's for review for a project so here is what it looks like next to the B5.

You alway deploy old stuff. As soon as it is mounted something new is announced. So live for the moment ;-)). -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Af [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Rory Conaway Gesendet: Samstag, 21.

Problem is I have a new area I'm launching in 3 weeks. I'll stick with 802.11n for the moment then.

Gimme a Mimosa A5 and I will deploy. A UBNT only .ac without GPS ? No reason to move to. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Af [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Rory Conaway Gesendet: Samstag, 21.

I'm planning on 25-50 over the next 12-18 months and more after that.

We use traditionaly MT and did not find a good reason to change. Our (early) UBNT Tests convinced us to not change. Started our tests with horrible Firmware-Versions and therefor dropped this crap. Sounds they got better in the meantime But I am not conviced our network will be better changing to UBNT now. Using ePMP in parts now but they do not proceed to .ac for now. As we're a PMP320 user we are not sure ePMP will be upgraded to .ac anytime soon. So we upgrade our MTs for the moment, upgrade PTP to Mimosa B5 or SAF and wait for things to come. I guess Mimosa will be our next step. But who knows when/what they deliver. MT is early with .ac equipment. Maybe they Improve further until others deliver. Depends on Atheros. >I'm not going to Mikrotik. Too close schedule wise for better options >although I might be taking over a small WISP that's all MikroTik. > >Rory
