So I called the company (the Whittier CA branch, not the ones in Poland) and spoke with a gentleman named Pedro.
Their current model holds only a single Rocket. However within the next couple of weeks (estimated availability) they will have a model that holds two Rockets. The downside of this is that there is space in the enclosure for two Rockets, however it's not molded or designed for them to "snap" into place - it's up to us to determine how to stabilize the Rockets inside the enclosure. I understood Pedro to say they are looking into rectifying that. (That was the only downside of this product that I saw. That's not to say I didn't ask the right questions, but of the ones I did ask, this was the only negative.) They are 90 degree -3dBi sectors. The gain on the antennas is 15 dBi (for the 2.4 GHz), and 18 dBi (for the 5 GHz). List price is currently $209 per unit. This may increase slightly (10 to 20 percent) when the units are released that hold two Rockets. Pedro felt the cost would remain less than $250 though, after the increase. Hope this helps someone. I'm pretty psyched about it, and am very interested in testing them out. Sam On 2/13/2014 13:10, Larry A.
