AF5X. The AF5 is not all that good (integrated small dishes for fdx, yuck). The real Josh is still waiting on UbntChuck to do a ptmp sync product. At least we're 2/3 of the way there :) Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On May 14, 201

Ouch. Was also looking at b5 but $1400 for a pair is a bit steep if your effective range won't support a "short" 3-4km link. Trying to bridge the gap, and UBNT has their pluses and minuses. Maybe AF5X instead I guess. Thanks! Jared Mauch > On May 14, 2016, at 8:31 AM, Hal Ponton wrote: >

We've deployed 2 B5 links into production, the newer firmware seems to have fixed the issues we saw in the links when we first tested them. We have a very rural customer where two hops are needed around the site. We're lucky in that we had two 80MHz channels free. We see around 350Mbps both ways

B5c is the only product that I've had much success with from Mimosa. The B5Lite is a cheap plastic shell and, and it performs like it too. If you have UBNT gear now, Mimosa is a good next step, but I'd strongly recommend that you stear away from the lite and go with the B5c. We use them with ro

Best place to ask this question would be the WISPA list (public one or Member's list). Plus you can ask ask this question on Facebook, WISPA Pictures or Mimosa Group ! Lots of good info there. Like all fixed wireless, in unlicensed freq...there are if's and's or but's Depending on your part
