I'm considering going direct if it makes sense. I know some guys in the middle don't make a lot in the markup and they provide more obvious value added services in providing voip termination than other types of services. Just looking at options. I have always rolled out our own voip using our

What I wish is a standardized Linux TDMA mechanisim. Not airmax nor nstreame 2, a TDMA that you can use with a cross-vendor mix. Mikrotik is a (to me the only) router OS. Ubiquity is my major Wireless vendor, from CPE's to the XR2 that go in each Mikrotik AP. I really like Tranzeos as well a

We are already there. I am firmly locked into Ubnt airmax. I tried MT's NStream, it did not work well for me. I am seeing enough 5ghz noise that I need airmax (or something like it). I was "this" close to going back to canopy only because I knew that while slow, it would work. If moto had wised up

I have nothing bad to say about Mikrotik as my RB1000 firewall runs without complaint. I also have a tower in the forest running an RB433AH with an XR9 radio that I never hear from. LOL, that reminds me of an old saying, only I'll amend it some: If a radio in the forest fails, does anyone hear it?

I did not mean to sound like i was saying anything bad about MT. Their NStream simply did not work for me and I did not have time to speed weeks working it out. I love my MT firewalls. I have two issues with the setup, once a month or two, DNS 'goes loopy' and I ahve to reboot the router. This also

NO! I will yell the dream from every tower! I suspect they could do GPS with a multiport USB device to make the timing and have all APs sync to it. After reading a bit about the BSD TDMA software I am pretty sure this is technically possible. Not having a great in-depth understanding of the Atheros
