I would check out GoNet If you really want to get a large coverage. They
are probably on the scale of a ruckus unit, but actually do beamforming
and are specifically made for outdoor access. It is pretty pricy per
unit , but they tend to cover a much greater area and are not as
susceptible to noise.

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?

I’m looking at a permanent installation at a small county
park/campground where we did a temporary setup last year.
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.

Our local rez replaced all their Cisco gear and controllers with
Ubiquiti AC Dual Band UniFi and software. 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. Used
at both Speaking Rock and Socorro Entertainment Center..I installed
two AC UniFi APs months ago for cattle association. Not one
call...ave 75 to 150 users a day

Got a 110' tower that belongs to a large campground that we are
using as a tower site. 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 .
