I meant everyone in the licensed market other than Mimosa.

Mike, when you say out of touch with the rest of the market, doesn’t that 
depend on how you define rest of the market? Or competition, as Ben puts it. 

It means one thing if you define the competition as Mimosa B11, another if you 
define it as Ceragon and SIAE.

I am sure I am going to regret posting to one of Mike H's endless ramblings 
about UBNT...but I am going to bite ;) 



Just because we don't listen to everything you say Mike, doesn't mean we do not 
listen to our customers. It is easy to sit back and "cast stones" from where 
you sit. All decisions we make are with customers in mind. Would be silly not 
to. Are they perfect for every customer? Of course not...Do they try to take in 
most all customers and tailor to our many markets? Yes... Have we made mistakes 
or should we have changed things or implemented certain things 
differently...YES. I would be more upset if we had sat back and just left 
status quo. We are investing significantly into the market...and have invested 
millions and millions into new PTMP platforms...With ~40 million radios in 
customers hands, we had to listen to a few things OK ;) 



I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to knowing what 
competition is doing...Must have just sounded good when you wrote it ;) 



Our 24GHz PTP product is a leader in the market. Our AF-5x and AF-5 are 
similar. We expect our AF-11FX to do very well and feedback from users in the 
field and early orders look great. 



Anyway...I probably shouldn't have...but couldn't resist. Please do not take 
this as a post where we feel we are perfect, just had to chime in about us 
listening to customers. 



Have a great weekend all! 



Regards, 

Ben

Seeing what they put out, not having a clue what the competition is already 
doing and the ignoring of their customers and super users means they're out of 
touch.

If they were really that out of touch given the context of the world market, 
they wouldn't have product lines doubling in net revenue quarter over quarter.

Yeah, but they have a fundamental problem. Company-wide they are out of touch 
with their customers and what they need as well as what the rest of the market 
offers. 

Examples: 

Still no SFPs on radios. 
AF11 has a channel width from the 2000s. 
AF11 isn't nearly as spectrally efficient as they think it is.

I know of a company that already has 8 links deployed that they replaced 
existing radios with. 
They built their own radio core. (Second time for UBNT, if you count Invictus 
core and then this one... Not counting the ones they made before UBNT.) 
You underestimate them a lot. They're making more money across the board and 
investing even more money in R&D and labor than they ever have. The past few 
years they've made major internal changes, and things are just now starting to 
bare fruit from those decisions. 
They also have a huge cash reserve, and it wouldn't surprise me at all for them 
to start making acquisitions if they choose to.

We have RadioWaves HP2 and HP3s' in a couple flavors. HPx-11R, Remec round for 
Trango ApexPlus and HPx-11EX, for Exalt G2. Then we have Trango AD11G2-S2's and 
3-S2's for ApexPlus, Remec round. So obviously we wouldn't be able to do the 
feedhorn swap on those. 

The RadioWaves 11EX are single-pol only, so those would need the feedhorn 
swapped. But the 11R is where it makes sense for the Remec adapter plate, 
especially in the case of the Trango dishes. 

So for me it would come down to $250-300? for the adapter plate vs $400? for a 
new RW feedhorn vs $1k for a whole new dish. 

This would probably be half as difficult if UBNT would've designed for 
waveguide, IMO.

You'll need to order a new feed horn for your RadioWaves antenna. �I don't 
have the SKUs yet, but I'm hearing they might be shipping by end of the 
month or early next. �They are basically a standard dual polarity N-Type 
feed horn except the feed horn "kit" also comes with a UBNT specific 
mounting bracket for the radio. 

I wish there was a REMEC round to dual polarity N-Type adapter available. 
Sure would be easier than a feed horn swap...and likely less expensive too. 
I've got a call into Pasternack to see if such an adapter is even feasible. 
I'm thinking it is, but would depend on demand.
