Although the 5 GHz GPS works as described by UBNT, I do view their GPS lineup as a failure. It isn't working on all bands and the 5 GHz GPS that does work chops the throughput terribly.
Although I have only experienced one problem with ToughCable L2 (not a show-stopper), there are enough complaints to coin the initial release as a failure. Everyone seems happy with the re-release, though. Never heard of the LiteStation, but I'll assume it was an SBC. I never cared for them. Until AirMax came along, Mikrotik held the advantage from every perspective. Agreed on the praise... until a product has been generally available to the public for at least 6 months (without major shortages), you can't declare it a success. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hogg" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 14, 2012 11:01:33 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti next product.... another router? I must live on a different planet, but there are products that Ubiquiti has failed on over the years and has EOL'd the product as a result. Look at GPS Sync in the RM5/RM2 product lines. Look at ToughCable L1/L2. Look at LiteStations. Wonder why they are EOL? I give praise to UBNT when praise is deserved. Not before a product has even been put through it's paces.

I have Cisco switches and routers with 5+ YEARS of uptime. My main Cisco switch is moving over 1500Mbps of graphic daily and has been up for over 2+ years. We have had many Ubiquiti radios that if they have more than 100 days uptime, you have to reboot them BEFORE doing a firmware upgrade or else when they come back they won't pass traffic (even though they are connected via wireless).
