Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti next product.... another router?

[Tom Sharples]

We use quite a few ubiquiti radios (and now starting to use their cams) on price-sensitive installations. My hard-and-fast rule for successful deployments: (1) never, ever install any UBNT device until it's been on the market for at least one year, and (b) always install using shielded and grounded cable. Violating either of those laws brings nothing but grief. Tom S.

I think the UBNT router platform is premature and would rather UBNT put all their efforts into developing faster radio technology.

It locks up for no reason and requires a power cycle in order to come back.   If you want equipment that " JUST RUNS "  and requires no baby sitting that equipment has a Cambium logo on it. You pay dearly for it and I have a significant amount in my network but I am not deploying it because the cost is too high and the bandwidth is too low.  UBNT equipment is very high maintainance and super hard to diagnosis what the problem is when you have one.   With all that being said I am still currently only deploying UBNT and actually taking down Canopy FSK to replace it with UBNT 2X2          ~Doug -------Original Message-------   From: Matt Hoppes Date: 9/14/2012 9:42:32 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti next product.... another router?   Greg, I don't ever recall seeing bleeding-edge firmware with bugs released from Ubiquiti.... unless you mean the betas?  But that's what they are... betas.   Since 5.3.3 up to the current 5.5.2 release I haven't had any problems with the final releases of software.   I can't count the number of Linksys, DLink, Hawking, whatever wireless routers we've replaced for customers because they had problems with their Internet.  We put in a Power AP-N, or an AirRouter and we never hear from them again.   Truth be told... Ubiquiti equipment just runs... it doesn't need rebooted.  It doesn't need babysat.  It just runs.   No I am not being paid to make these statements.  I just have many years working in IT.  I've used Cisco, MikroTik, Alvarion, Motorola and now Ubiquiti.  The Ubiquiti equipment just works.  I have a backhaul that's been up for over a year with no reboots.... and no problems.   Matt Hoppes Director of Information Technology Indigo Wireless +1 (570) 723-7312   On 9/14/12 11:20 AM, Greg Ihnen wrote: > Are people going to be able to tolerate the bleeding-edge cycle of > bugs/firmware updates that has been the history with their wireless gear? >  > Once again they're breaking new ground, this time with low cost/high pps > throughput.
