Ubiquiti gear is great, but the one thing they haven't worked out is their supply chain. You are often waiting on a boat from china or somewhere. There are a good half-dozen or so places that sell these things and they tend to all run out at about the same time. Invictus had run out (someone ordered 100 of them) the day I placed my order. Whatever Invictus tells you about the delay, it'll be a wild guess. Ubiquiti's shipping forecasts have a history of slipping. It's also not really Invictus's fault, so frankly I wouldn't expect a discount just because you are inconvenienced. If you are in a gigantic hurry, you could trade money for time and substitute a Ubiquiti Bullet (I just got a 2M-HP recently) and add a panel (or other) antenna. The Bullet doesn't come with a PoE injector or adapter, so that would be extra. Something like: http://www.invictuswireless.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=24-13P http://www.invictuswireless.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POEK24 http://www.invictuswireless.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BulletM2HP $79+$17.50+$30.95 for each end. With that power, you could bridge miles with line of sight. Oh. Looks like he's got the NanoStation2 Loco in stock. Those would probably work as well. The Loco version is 100mW instead of 400mW with the regular NS2, but if there are no trees in the way, you should be okay over a few hundred feet. Cheaper too. http://www.invictuswireless.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=NS2L -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
