I can't get over the small gain MT uses.
It also bugs me that the FCC seems to be all about massive amps and
small antennas rather than the reverse.
If it was actually about interference PTP shots with narrow beamwidth
is preferred. I suppose it is too much to ask for those in our
government that set the regulations to actually understand the tech
they're regulating.
I suppose it could be the manufacturers are going with big amps and
small antennas, but it seems that would cost more.

The SXT antenna were always too weak. Give me 25 dBi or give me
death. Well, okay, I don't feel that strongly. I just won't buy it
if not.

We’re starting the move to .ac with MT now. The 922UAGS-5HPacD has
the same dimensions as
the 911/411 Boards so we just replace boards.
We get good results with Mars Antennas with housing for P2P. The
SXT-Antennas are to weak for .ac.
The 19db Mars Antennas give good CPE/short range PTP with a small
footprint. We use these as
Sector-Antennas where we have to cover small areas.
The .ac firmware adaption is quite new but we see stable results
in the 300-400 Mbit/s range for short links.
The .ac boards have faster CPUs so they may increase
11n-Speeds/NAT Performance.
The 922-Board has a SFP. Ethernetport has moved. Due to this the
RFElements Stationbox XL do not fit.
MT .ac does PTP and PTMP and is downward compatible to older
boards with 11n/a.
SXTs with .ac are not stable with the latest sw-release. So as
always with MT you’ve to betatest
HW/FW-combination to get it running smooth.

*Betreff:* Re: [AFMUG] rocket ac lite performance
Yeeeeaaaaa, I don’t’ think so. If you use Ubiquiti you pretty
much know what works and what doesn’t. in reality, you use as
few custom features as possible outside 802.11 compatibility and
limit the radios to Layer 2 bridges or nothing more than NAT
whenever possible. Try not to use any of the customer features
although AirMax seems to be working pretty well. You just don’t
want to add anything that adds to processor overhead on an AP for
Rocket M5’s if you have a higher density. When the Titanium’s
tanked a couple years ago, there was a huge hole in any kind of AP
product with the ability to handle density due to the processor
but nobody filled it. It still hasn’t been filled to my
satisfaction meaning we aren’t replacing Rocket 5M’s any time soon
and we are keeping them at 50 users or less for another few
months. However, NetFlix and video streaming means we are pushing
that down to a planned 30 over the next couple of months. That
numbers are just estimates but somewhere between 30-50 under heavy
video streaming usage and AirMax will start causing issues.
If you allow torrents or anything that opens up a massive number
of connections, then the number of users per AP drops
significantly which is why we run filtering on the back end to
reduce that. I’ve seen APs with less than 30 go apoplectic with a
couple of wild torrent users.

For the first question, I have no idea, since the only released
radios are PtP at this time. Pretty hard to tell.
For the second one, "ubntboys" (at least the informed ones) don't
run airsync, because they know it doesn't work well. :)

The ptp-lites do have airmax offloading? I thought they
didn't...
We've had a link running for awhile, but it's got some
noise issues, so it hasn't really been the best place to
test these... that said, they've been running fine without
any real problems that I've noticed.

ptp lites are missing the internal shielding (i think?) as
well as airprism tech
they do have airmax offloading, but it's also a brand new
product line... some bugs are showing in the software

How are the rocket AC's performing for you guys?
Throughput? Bugs?
