Remember Motorola used to sell Canopy with an FPGA and custom silicon
for $220 in bulk packs. $300 isn't crazy.....but you're right to keep
an eye on it.

I'd be quite surprised if it was based on FPGA or Ubnt's proprietay
silicon - it's likely Wi-Fi chipset based. This would be the first
member of the AirFiber family that is Wi-Fi chipset based, in which
case I'd have questions about its performance, especially in number of
PPS, and software stability. (Currently the AirFiber line is what I
consider Ubiquiti's best products - kind of expected since the
ex-Cambium team was involved).
-I'm surprised of the manufacturers (Ubnt and MT) that use a grid dish
at 60Ghz; at that wavelengthand considering their experience in using
solid dishes, I would think it would be easier and cheaper to use a
solid dish.
