I just heard about these problems last week at
WISPAPALOOZA from Matt Villarreal. It sounds like a
serious issue and one that should be addressed by the
manufacturer. While Ubiquiti is a great partner for
WISPA and the industry, they do need to take
responsibility for products developed and pushed to
market without proper testing. I am BCC copying Ben
Moore to see what they intend to do about this
problem. It will be interesting to know how many
reels of this defective cable were sold, whether the
defective coating has been corrected and whether
replacement cable will be shipped.
It would be the best interest of everyone if class
action can be avoided. Let’s come to the table and
come to a satisfactory conclusion for all. I will
await Ben and Ubiquiti’s response before taking any
further steps.
Where
there is a Wisp, there is a way!
