When you have limited users on the far end of the network, it works fine enough. But when you have too many (our experience has shown around 5-10 users doing regular internets) the radio craps out and can't toss packets fast enough. They can handle decent bandwith if you are doing large packet transfers. It just doesn't work when you are sending tons of little ones. I've been on the UBNT forums requesting that they do a Packets-Per-Second test on the LS, PS, and NS radios (nearly the same architecture), but they cop out with the excuse that its a "bogus test". My thoughts are that they know its a problem with their radio and don't want to say so.
Its a cheap solution, but I would not even consider calling it a useful business solution... and now days with residential with multiple computers in the home... its not even a very good residential solution.

This isn't really news for HD Communications, considering the package is just a bundle of 2 Ubiquiti radios that have been around for 6 months to a year already. You could buy the PS2 radios from many different distributors. Its a really silly announcement "Hi, we're selling someone elses crap, but the bundle has our name on it" Other distributors are selling single PS units for 159.00$ each. So, they aren't even selling them cheaper than anyone else...]]>May 22nd 2008 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/May 22nd 2008 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/May 22nd 2008 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/
The point of my mini-rant was that they are trying to sell it like its a business solution, but really its just a consumer solution, and a very VERY small niche solution at that]]>May 22nd 2008 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/May 22nd 2008 4:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/Probably the only place with direct line of sight between locations 5 miles apart.]]>May 22nd 2008 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/"RF cable"? What? They seem to be referring to a regular power cable. All they had to do was mention "They are powered over ethernet".

Models like these have been available for years, but the main selling point is the low cost, as good business solutions easily run into thousands.]]>May 22nd 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/May 25th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/May 22nd 2008 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/May 23rd 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/318-wifi-network-bridge-connects-two-locations-up-to-5-miles-ap/All the tech to do these sorts of things have existed since a long time, just that nobody makes them as they are too expensive.

BTW - you have the wrong website.

Ubiquiti is also on top of their game with support for my firmware requests. Any issues I had were fixed rather quickly considering some manufacturers make you wait until they are ready to release the next firmware update.
