I had to have special motorola test software when doing FCC type approvals for 
my antennas.

I would think loading something onto UBNT that could cause it to misbehave 
would invalidate the FCC approval.  
But folks have been rooting linksys routers for years.  

Hmmm....

I'm certainly not qualified to argue the legal merits of the case, but it seems 
to me (as an observer who in reality knows nothing about it), that they 
wouldn't be able to show any significant damages from the things that actually 
seem to have merit... so they through all the other stuff in there.

They could maybe get in trouble with the FCC, but until that happens, it's kind 
of hard to argue that it's harmed them. And if they argue that their sales were 
hurt by copyright violations (or whatever it is they're trying to say), I would 
think that's going to be tough to prove... Cambium could even argue that their 
customer started buying UBNT CPE because they're cheaper than the Cambium 
equivalent.

  I guess when reading this, the thing that strikes me the most is how inflated 
and exaggerative the language is.  Typically it seems in legal documents that 
overly exaggerative claims are done so for publicity.   The language in this 
filing seems to read more like National Enquirer and less like an FCC findings 
summary.  I would expect this to be less outlandish if they really felt they 
had a strong case.   Claiming a multi-party hacking conspiracy (which is really 
what the complaint is claiming from what I can discern) is going to be really 
tough to make stick.   Claiming Cambium caused harm to their business due to 
copyright violation would be a much better approach I would think.   But they 
seem to have taken the National Enquirer approach, usually when you hear those 
kinds of things, they don’t go anywhere.   It will be interesting to see what 
happens.   



  As far as the FCC violation goes, they were more careful in their wording.   
To my understanding, they basically said that hacking the firmware gives 
someone the ability to violate FCC limits and doesn’t imply that they can prove 
anyone actually did.   



  Could be they felt that they were compelled to file this case whether they 
feel they can win or not….. 



  Smarter folks than me will sort it all out…. 😊

  They named a forum user as a defendant... 



  " 126. In a post dated December 25, 2017, Defendant Dmitry—noted as an 
“occasional contributor”—posted on a message board instructing a user on how to 
use ePMP with Ubiquiti power supplies"



  This whole thing feels like a big joke. Do we not own the hardware we're 
purchasing?

    Yeah, so they aren't actually suing the WISP because they were using it, 
they're suing them because they're saying they helped market it.

      How does UBNT know that the WISP in question is actually using the 
product?  Did they gain access to the carriers network to verify? With out them 
knowing? Other than that it is all hearsay.

            So much for being the winner by disruption...   Yeah, you could see 
this 
            coming.   Dear Robert has a lot of expenses...  I just replaced a 
bunch 
            of legacy ubnt because of flat out chip failure.   Old electronics 
that 
            fail not because of exposure to discharges or stuff like that.  
Just too 
            cheap run too hot...
