Mike, have you asked them for a voltage spec? If it turned out to accept 20-60V you’d probably change your mind and say that is brilliant.

I have to upconvert to 48v when needed. There is no easy fix because I cannot fit two more batteries in my cabinet, and it would be a total rework even if I could. So it was me and the ten or so that I'll buy. Thanks UBNT!

The description does say carrier backhaul radio, maybe that’s a hint. WISPs in the US are one market for Ubiquiti, not the only market. It’s possible this decision makes great sense and the reason isn’t apparent from our/your perspective.

The data sheet is no help except that it says the thing uses 24V 1a POE injector. That implies a maximum of 24 watts. So less than 24 watts. Anyone have one installed that has measured actual power consumption? If they're running the POE at 50% duty cycle, that would suggest about 12 watts. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/21/2015 7:11 AM, Ty Featherling wrote: I did Bill with a little help.

It is being streamlined in the AC line with NanoBeam, Powerbeam (still will have multiple sizes). NanoBeam = all integrated PowerBeam = inner feed/dish design It is a challenge with sku's since may sku's are needed for different areas of the world (i.e. some products are very popular here and not as popular in other parts of the world). Would chart help? On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 4:43 PM, Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com> wrote: Ben, you guys have too many product variants, and in some cases need better naming. Like NanoBridge, NanoBeam, PowerBeam, NanoBeam AC, PowerBeam AC. I honestly don’t understand the difference between a NanoBeam and a PowerBeam, or why one has models by antenna gain in dB and the other by antenna size in mm. And of course the NanoStation Loco, why is it Loco? Because it’s crazy small? Then there’s the M vs W thing. My head hurts.

We won't split unless there is a performance reason to. The cost is same either way... How much is the budget? Consider AF-5X?

What are the differences between lite, ptp, and ptmp airprism only? Are some of these shipping without all there guts? I am looking at replacing an old shitbucket tranzeo link, we already have it connected to one pol of a set of radiowaves 2 foot HP parabolics. I figure its worth checking out these AC radios, but I dont know whats what now, is this a permanent separation with UBNT of ptp and ptmp or is this two things that are going to converge? Other than the Ac component, for a low throughput demand link is there any major benefit of going to the AC over the M5 in terms of performance? (future demand is a factor as well) Also considering the epmp, goods, bads uglies between the three products there? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
