Actually it is a Ubiquti radio and the power supply does not need to be 48 volts, 9-48 works fine for the Gateworks board (Avila GW2348-2). We had moisture get in the ethernet jack and burn the pins when it was using 48 volts, so we switched to a Ubiquti 15 volt adapter and have not had any proble

I would steer well clear of that UBNT bridge for something as critical as you describe. At the price point it just screams disaster. I've not used the Ligowave MIMO radios however I have used the LigoPTP 5-N and I was a little disappointed. The lack of QoS is a definite negative. We had one of
