Excellent write-up.
I feel UBNT has kind of lost their way in certain areas. I don't
understand mFi at all. UBNT-Vision (aircam stuff) is kind of a
messstill. ToughSwitch debacle, green cable (tough lesson for us/them to
learn), etc.
AF24 is great. AF5 is... can be great in the right situation. EdgeSwitch
... needs alot of cli/gui work, but the features are there.
EdgeRouter-lite... amazing performance out of a $99 device. EdgeRouter
is 2Mpps and about $80 cheaper than a CCR1009-8G-1S, but it does miss
some of the nice mikrotik tools. ER is rumoured to have MPLS and very
likely MPLS-TE "soon". USG/US is cool, very meraki-ish. The phones...
some of the best I've ever seen hardware wise, but it'll be interesting
to see if Enterprise is really ready for Android on the desk...
AirMax-AC shipping now in PtP... very good throughput, needs that DFS
and lower band. Real-time airview is amazing. Can't wait for the "full"
version with AirPrism tech. TDMA offloading will be very nice for PtMP.
There's some hit and miss for sure. I just wish there was more "hit" and
less "miss".

One thing is going to solve this problem, the one with UBNT not
listing to their customers and providing a lot of shit we do not want
or need from them.
That is competition; plan and simple.
I love the folks at UBNT for what they have done, disrupting the
wireless infrastructure market. They kicked Motorola's ass and took
market share
at an alarming rate. Motorola was big and bloated with unnecessary
overhead and products that were overpriced and underperformed.
Here is what I do not like since their release of Airmax:
* Took way too much time enabling DFS frequencies on original
equipment
* Bug ridden firmware releases
* Lack of supply of their Products
* Half baked attempts with Management Tools AC1, AC2
* Lack/Poor support of SNMP so we can do it better with other tools
* Lower/DFS and UNII1 support for Nanobeam
* Still no AIRMAX version 2.0 equipment or whatever they want to
name it(I have not signed an NDA)
* Lack of focus on WISP Core needs, gave us routers, when we all
use Mikrotik, gave us cameras, when were not asking and now a billing
platform when I already have one and love it!
We can all add to this list...
Now back to the competition deal, Cambium showed the redesigned Force
100, now called force 110 at WISPAPALOZZA 2014 and less than 45 days
later I received it. Last year they announced the ePMP 1000 line right
before WISPAPALOZZA and I ordered it while at the show and had it
waiting for me at the office when I returned. I did some testing for
about a week and switched 35 customers over and had not one complaint
from them, only my tech's because the web interface was buggy. I just
wonder if Cambium(no NDA's here either) just might beat UBNT with a
faster/enhanced ePMP before UBNT gets their new stuff together.
Now, here's to Cambium -- may you be extremely successful and on time
with your road map.
Now , here's to MIMOSA -- may you deliver on what you promised, both
technically and on time(looking kind of bad so far on the time deal
Jaime).
Now, here's to UBNT -- may you find your way home back to your
original market, the WISPS's before Wall Street crushes you for not
making your numbers again! You had your chance to crush your
heavyweight champion but
you gave them time to come
back and maybe, kick some UBNT ....
Now, I am seriously rooting for them all, we need competition, it is
healthy for our industry.

It's called airCRM. It does billing and control. It's only hosted in
the cloud.
How could UBNT go this long without a functional control platform
only to fuck it up this badly?
