Certainly the EPMP product line has been a game changer and I agree role 
reversal has happened.

UB listened and innovated when motorola got a bad case of fat cats don't hunt.

Now Cambium has the message,  they  are innovating and delivering,  complete 
role reversal and I agree..  The bad habbits were only acceptable when there 
were not any other choices or a better product. (Lesson moto already learned) 
lesson UB hasn't.

You guys get to vote with your wallet, thats a powerful form of democracy.

The German people died waiting around for the secret weapon that was going to 
save them in ww2, even when Russians and Americans were on the doorsteps of 
Berlin, They still believed it was coming.

I love both companies,  Chucks airfiber is still the orthogon of 2010's.

YMMV but it shouldn't.  Really nothing new right,  let's not talk to operators, 
 let's hold up the whole thing for pmp 100 compatibility.  Let's tell people in 
the service industry to put their operaintiomal platform in someone else's 
cloud.

Rant over,

I am sure glad that I own my business; and that said, as a business owner I 
look to make choices from those available; not cry over what is not!
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?
