Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet5-HP
Hi, I received a couple of test Bullet5-M radios on Friday. I played with them for about 15 minutes today, and here's the first bench test: 20mhz channel -60 signal 55Mbps of actual UDP throughput Very impressive. They are getting almost double what every other 802.11 based radio system is getting in the same spectrum. That would mean in a 5mhz channel you could get 15Mbps of actual traffic or the 40mhz channel should really do 100Mbps. This was with a single antenna on each side of the link, but they were only about 20ft away so the signal quality was not at 100%. Will do more testing this week.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet5-HP
I'll go a step further and say that I currently only use non-MT for links within a customer's network and not my own network... things like linking their house to their shop where the CPE is and so on. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Chuck Profito cprof...@cv-access.com Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 8:19 PM To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet5-HP Robert, I would be more concerned about how many packets they can process, especially on a backhaul.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet5-HP
I just received an announcement from UBNT so it sounds like the new Bullets are here and better than ever. I'm helping a friend improve a tiny local WISP here in the sleepy Amazonian frontier town of Puerto Ayacucho Venezuela. He's not a tech at all and was really in need of some guidance. I'm a retired radio officer and ham but I have to credit you guys on this forum for teaching me the most important things I've passed along. Just using 2.4GHz APs running WDS worked great till sources of interference moved in. Then he added amps to his APs but that only made matters worse. The fellow here added a 5.8GHz backhaul using NS5's and it's working great. We're dying to get our hands on the new Bullet5HP. 5.8GHz here is still virgin territory for now.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet5-HP
Let us know how it goes... we have about 80 MT ptp links and love them (from 1/4 mile to 73 miles). We have never had a problem with ACK timing, small or large packet issues, etc. I would like to know throughput using only a 20mhz channel, too.
