mFi was optionally cloud based... until they pulled the plug on the cloud option after being in service a few months.
Why anyone would consider a Ubiquiti cloud option again is beyond me. Who's to say it will still be around in six months to a year time? It's like someone buying Trango's new PtMP gear... they once pulled the plug on their PtMP offering... why would you go back? If it's the same guys as did the UWN backend (I assume it isn't, just making a point here), you'll be able to put in a maximum of 50 customers. That should be good enough. When you complain and bring someone to the table to address the issue of a 50 customer limit, they'll politely decline saying it isn't necessary. You put in 75 customers and it crashes everyone's billing\monitoring systems. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Barnes" <[email protected]> To: "Ubiquiti Users Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 7:34:11 AM Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] New airControl I want to first go on record as saying I to dislike the idea of a cloud based management tool. However, I also remember all of us bitching about AC being a Java app and not having a web UI for our phones and other devices. When Ben Moore said that we would not have to worry about that in the next version I kind of thought about a hosted solution, but thought “Oh surly not”. Another point that I want to make is that US WISPs are not their largest market. I am sure that it is a large market for them but not the largest. I expect they are trying to be uniform across all their platforms worldwide. I assume we will see Unifi and Mfi eventually go ALL Cloud based. Everything from AP, CPE, Router, WiFi, Lights, Phones, Cameras, and even thermostat controlled from the cloud. The hacking possibility of all this is huge. But everything I see is moving this way. The local school Corp in our area just released 2 techs and converted ever thing they could to virtual off-site with remote monitoring and control of all equipment from WiFi Aps and Net Switches to Servers and workstations. The IT Manager says he loves the reduced work load but sees now he has handed the keys to someone else and has a lot less control. All he does now is move wires and swap equipment. All the NEST products, personal IP Security Cameras all are already in the cloud. The general techy populous are starting to except it. I think lots of WISPs will be less likely since they feel less in control of their networks and we are all about control. But I don’t think we are going to stop this trend.
