What published specs have you seen on the airFiber latency? I asked one of the UBNT guys and they said it's microsecond. On any network I've managed, anything sub 1ms is acceptable. Dylan -Original Message- From: John van Oppen [mailto:jvanop...@spectrumnet.us] Sent: Satur

We actually have a lot of the old gigabeam radios in service, they are faster than the published specs of the airfiber links (1G full duplex vs 750 mbit/sec fd) and lower latency due to their very simplistic design. To be honest, from a network engineering standpoint, the gigabeams were

guess point-to-multipoint connections aren't permitted by the FCC for 24 Ghz. AirFiber appears to be fairly highly directional. It needs to be though, as each link uses 100 Mhz, and there's only 250 Mhz available @ 24 Ghz. It also sounded like there was a decent possibility of supporting licensed 21 / 25 Ghz spectrum with AirFiber in the future. Oliver
