Re: [Ubnt_users] NanoBeam 5AC-19's and PowerBeam 5AC-300's
Most of my links are within 1 mile. All in all, I like the dishes better as well. Shipping is what kills us here in AK though. I am looking forward to the light beams, but they probably won't work right for another year or so after they start shipping if UBNT follows the same release pattern as there other newly released products :) On Oct 9, 2016 6:15 AM, "Phil Curnutt" <pcurn...@gmail.com> wrote: > 8 beta-17.

Re: [Ubnt_users] R5AC-PRISM-US
It depends on the noise floor, most cpe’s according to the interface sit in the 90’s. At the sector it’s usually in the high 80’s to low 90’s. So when we set people up and the return signal is in low to mid 70’s we tend to not want to install. So several times this has happened, we have just swapped the sector back to the AC 65degree panels and get to where we need to be in the mid 60’s. Which makes sense since your adding 10 dbi back to the link. So the question is, can you make a high gain version of the horns? A 16 to 20 dbi model would solve most issues for us on the longer shots. *From:* ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org] *On Behalf Of *Mike Hammett *Sent:* Tuesday, September 27, 2016 4:26 PM *To:* Ubiquiti Users Group <ubnt_users@wispa.org> *Subject:* Re: [Ubnt_users] R5AC-PRISM-US What are the SNRs\modulations like for the longer out ones? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions <http://www.ics-il.com/> <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> Midwest Internet Exchange <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> The Brothers WISP <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> -- *From: *"Chris Ruschmann" <ch...@scsalaska.net> *To: *"Ubiquiti Users Group" <ubnt_users@wispa.org> *Sent: *Tuesday, September 27, 2016 5:36:27 PM *Subject: *Re: [Ubnt_users] R5AC-PRISM-US We have been using both the 65’s and the 90’s.

We have been installing them to our cloud controller for management in cases where we wouldn’t need an onsite controller. Questions is for others doing the same thing, what do you do for charging? Do you charge for the equipment a one time fee plus install if applicable, or a small one time fee and a monthly rental or management fee?

Believe me...we definitely don't want to create a new sku, just to create a new sku and charge you more for it ;) You can’t sit here and deny the fact that the Nano Beams had issues initially. I had to pull all our initially installed ones from the field due to some serious AP wide degradations that didn’t get resolved till much later. We have them rolled out now in minimal fashion on newer firmware and some beta 5.6 BM: Sorry, not aware of the issues (though admittedly I do not follow the SW issues as closely). Based on demand for the product and requests for DFS approvals and lack of chatter regarding issuesare you still experiencing issues? Can you get them sent to me and will have support review? Let’s see, how many other products can I list that had been rushed to market…. BM: No question not perfect here...Especially with our announcements. I think this is getting much better (edge switches shipped at time of announcement, NBE-5AC-19, R5AC-PTP, New AC antennas, AF-24HD just announced and first shipment arriving next week, etc...). You can also see that the AC product line has a TON into it at launch. It also has a number of networks active using it for many, many months. *From:* ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org] *On Behalf Of *Ben Moore *Sent:* Thursday, January 8, 2015 11:49 AM *To:* Ubiquiti Users Group *Subject:* Re: [Ubnt_users] Rocket5ac PTMP w/AirPrism availability With the NanoBeam what is half baked?

We aren’t like Apple consumers. For the most part, most of us are not buying these products to jack with them at Starbucks and drink Coffee. We are out on towers, in all kinds of weather, deploying these. No matter the driving factor, the majority of these networks are here to make money. I, for one, have bet my house and my future on UBNT products in the past. It was no different than betting on another vendor, but I chose UBNT for several reasons. Price was a factor but not the only one. Robert and Staff, please don’t misunderstand the passion for these folks being fanboys. Sure, the inner geek in everyone wants the shiny new gadget. But at the end of the day we all want to go home and be able to set our thermostat at 71 instead of 50. :-) This is about providing a service and being in business. Tools like AirControl means we can do that extra install instead of having the programmer spend their time figuring out how to pull data from the radio or dump into some 3rd party app. We all know monitoring and proactive solutions are essential in this business. I want to know if my business customers are getting what they pay for. If I have SLA customers I want to prove to them we are living up to expectations. Having that data might mean keeping them or not. A complete product family means we have a lower TCO. Now, back to perception. If I am putting my house on the line would I continue to do so for a company that hasn’t finished a key product like AC in how many years? Version 1 never was completed. V2 is now dead. What about the Mfi cloud? I want to be able to trust a company with my livelihood. Sure, a software product isn’t the same as a working AP, but it should be a key component. In today’s ISP world information is King. If I have information I know when to upgrade, what customers to proactively fix, and how the overall health of the network is. This is what makes me different than Comcast. I should be able to know everything about what I have. If you want to make it cloud based, how about an appliance we can install locally? Just an idea, in a sea of thousands. But more importantly, help us focus on automating our businesses and being kick butt at it. Give us the tools we actually need. That way we can buy more units from you. Simple.

So I'm faced with a long backorder on a product I need or play the old ubnt scramble to find someone with a few boxes to get me through another few weeks, which is a waste of time an ends up costing me more ordering small quantities from a random supplier and shipping it across the country.

The manufacturer should be liable to defective products, no question, but nobody wants a reputation for cheating the customer, especially not in a small and public community like this. As for the DFS channels, I'm sure that will get resolved and there was enough information around that you should have known that feature, along with PTMP, wasn't going to happen soon. But this is a small problem compared to the cable and Rocket GPS. In those cases, the product either didn't deliver what it was supposed to or simply fell apart. Different situation.

With this situation though, part of it was Ubiquiti's fault, part of it was the FCC process and the inefficiency of government in general. Holding an entire industry back for months at a time is another example why other countries out-manufacture us and our politicians are inept at best, crooked at worst, for allowing this to happen.
