I agree I am looking more for coverage than capacity. I think most of the campers would be happy just to check and reply to email or be able to upload their float trip and camping pics to FB. I can envision though rainy days where the kids are board and want to stream Netflix. So I am thinking offering a basic email checking sort of speed for a very basic price and then a Netflix / streaming package at a higher price. I dont want to do it by the hour because they will eat up my fees with credit card charges and processing fees. I am thinking a daily rate and a weekend rate or even a weekly rate for each package. Maybe there are campers that come every weekend or a couple of times a month and I could offer a seasonal rate even. But I guess I am mainly wanting to know about equipment. M2 with a 120 sector? What kind of number of subs per M2 Rocket is reasonable for the AP to handle well? What about M2 AC Rocket?

Am I crazy for looking at the UAP-Outdoor+ (2.4 only) linked with M5 Locos? I’m not sure the more expensive AC units will help anything, coverage is more important than raw capacity.

Speeds and performance much better and easy to manage. The casino waitresses love the pos at customers tables and security knows where they are at all times.

Using Mimosa links to the tower and have 500+ MB of bandwidth available to this tower. The campground area is about 110 acres and about 1/2 of that has camp sites that we want to be able to provide paid by the X WIFI service. UBNT has a billing platform that I think integrates with their equipment and I will gladly use their equipment but I dont want to recreate the wheel here. This is not in my normal course of business but the campground owner wants it and I think there is a lot of potential here all be it seasonally. Is the UBNT software good stuff? What are your recommendations to type of AP's / Antennas / for such a setup. What is the best way to market this type of service? Free for basic minimal speeds? then sell a higher rate if they want it. Or Just bill for anything one lower package and one higher package? Has anyone on the list tried this at a campground and if so what mistakes did you make and what did you end up using? Ive made enough mistakes in the past with other stuff. I have learned to ask you guys on stuff I'm not familiar with . Craig
