You need to take in consideration that the Ubnt AirMax true data thoughtput is about 70 Mbps in highest modulation and under very low noise scenario.
Now take on consideration that it uses dual pol to achieve this so you limit your colocation options Taking that in account, expect 30 to 50 Mbps In a true field deployment under average noise conditions And you can only colocate 3 or 4 aps per site, then try to growth your footprint Compare that to the Canopy 430 line with 45 Mbps per ap with gps sync and A very broad channel reuse facility Sent from my Motorola Startac...
