I’ve used Ubiquiti for a number of use cases. Only time it didn’t perform well was when a tech didn’t heed my warning to check the windows for reflective coating that would cause interference & loss. (One of the radios was indoor for a temporary outdoor event.) But even in that case, the Ubiquiti got the job done. For most instances, I don’t think a better cost/performance ratio exists.
I would say that foul balls wood have the expected effect. (yes, pun intended!)

It appears, from the cutsheets, that there are either 2 models or that they support both 2.4 and 5Ghz (not clear to me). -Brian From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Peter Redhead Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 2:57 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] point-to-point wireless backhauls Thanks !
