Their Titanium series had GPS and their GPS worked fine as long as you designed your network according to their model and accepted that you'd never get half of the throughput you'd otherwise get. That would pay off in greater overall throughput if you used many sectors on a given tower or had limited channels to work with.

It's been a long time since I played with it, but from what I've seen most people get better results with it off.

Second, UBNT has tried gos before and it never worked. By the way, is GPS enabled on all those you have no issue with?

Why would GPS be a feature on this radio if sync isn't on the road map for the near future? Every device I have from UBNT with sync works really well. What products are you guys seeing that it doesn't work well on? I know I'm jumping in on this convo a little late, so please forgive me if I'm off track.

As Ubiquiti opened up markets that Motorola ignored for years, I believe other new markets are going to be opening up very soon. I’m betting on it.

Except for Chuck of course. It seems to me they believe wireless is near dead so it isn't worth it. Solar being the future and all. Really I think it is a case of shiny object syndrome. UBNT always seems to have lacked some focus, or at least perseverance. Not to bash then to much.
