John - It appears that Ubiquiti does still have a 900 MHz bridge available,
looks like a very small dish instead of a flat panel. I suggest giving them
a call or an email. They were very helpful in email and on the phone when

Dan, are the 900 MHz flat panels still available. I’m looking at a need

another 300’ clear shot. Is that possible? I’m getting Starlink to replace

The lower the frequency, the less it will be affected by the trees. I've

Hey all,
Thanks for all the good info and sorry for the slow reply. I meant to
mention in the first post that line of sight is an issue. It’s probably a
quarter mile (maybe less) through forested terrain to the nearest building
on the property that has WiFi. There is also a decent elevation change

Adam,
What kind of distance between the inverters and the existing internet
connection? Is there line of sight between the two? Is there an
electrical panel at the inverters that would allow you to install a low

As Dan pointed out, the Litebeam products are not wifi extenders. They must be

I concur with Luke Christy below - I have had great success with Ubiquiti

I wanted to try out Ubiquiti products, and bought a NanoStation M2, but
haven't installed it yet. With the Lighbeam, can any device connect to it?
If so, I know at least the SMA SB wifi can only connect to 2Ghz, and not
5Ghz. I'll have to see if there is a 2Ghz option. This is why I cannot us

I would second Dave’s suggestion to use wireless bridges for this application

Hi Adam,
I have had good luck in the past setting up a wireless bridge. You will
need an outlet at the array to power the radio there, but these things can
work over long distances as long as there is line of sight. In the past, I

Most reasonable people don't expect you to work for free, so charge for the
