I don't have personal experience with UBNT M2 and Moto Canopy. However I would suggest that you do a search on UBNT forms for posts by 'WHT' and also on DSLReports WISP Forums.
WHT is one of the Beta Testers for advance features and newer firmware coming down the pikes. His testing suggests that, if Canopy 2.4 got into a duel with UBNT M2 gear with Airmax on (and the next release of the firmware)... it will be a 'blood bath', both of you will take hits, but at the end, UBNT radios will keep standing. I have no desire to start a Flame, nor a contest of wits..... Would love to hear if a Canopy Operator has done some serious testing with UBNT Airmax Gear. UBNT Airmax is about 95% fully baked, the rest of it is expected to be fully done within the next 6 to 18 months. Take all of this with a grain of salt. As to shooting thru trees and NLOS.... there is a lot of if's and but's to this... but direct experiences show that under most conditions the 802.11n Mimo radios do surprisingly well (when compared to traditional 802.11 a/b/g) in both of these environments. Some WISP's are reporting that early testing of UBNTM 2.4 MIMO gear is performing better than 900mhz for foliage penetration (context, being for that particular link they were setting up). Our experience, UBNTM5 (5.x) on short distance (1/4 mile) with No-LOS/ fairly obstructed LOS, shooting thru a glass window, with power @ 22dbBm is doing between 78x78 / 52x52 meg air rate, tcp rate is about 18x10. (signal is -79/-80, noise floor is -89dBm, 20Mhz Channel) This is a special case, temp link we setup for a client. The same radio with LOS on the roof of the bldg, would be doing 130x130/117x117 air rate, (20mhz channel), with a -66 signal and power turned all the way down to 6dBm) (BTW the radio listed above is the UBNT LocM5) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom On 9/22/2010 12:57 PM, Marco Coelho wrote: > I've got a competitor getting ready to light a nanostation based tower > within 2 miles of one of my Canopy 2.4 towers.
