Is M5 also done except for firmware? Or are you talking about AC Nano/PowerBeams?
The silence on this matter is very frustrating. The theories about incorporating DFS and/or trying to make the performance under the new rules not suck sound plausible. But I’m reluctant to buy or deploy any additional equipment on the promise that it will have access to the spectrum I need to run it in SOON.

I'd imagine they're waiting on DFS approval to just do one firmware release. Replacing UBNT with ePMP?

I've searched the UBNT Forums and can't find anything other than SOON. Ignoring AC series and just focusing on M5, last I heard the products capable of operating in 5150-5250 (without buying bootleg INTL versions) were Rocket, NS, NS Loco, and NanoBridge. With the NanoBridge being a legacy product being kept around until the NanoBeams were approved. And I'm not sure they are still on the shelf anywhere. Have they even filed the lab report on the M5 NanoBeams, much less provided license keys, stickers, and firmware? I think the Powerbeam AC and maybe Nanobeam AC were a little farther along, with approval and licenses/stickers but no firmware yet, perhaps because they want to also get DFS in there, perhaps because they are resubmitting to the lab to get higher EIRP under the new rules? Is there any hope for a NanoBeam that will talk to a Rocket M5 in U-NII-1? I mean seriously, are we going to have to start taking down Rocket APs and replacing with ePMP? Having Rockets or Nanostations as the only CPE choices is just not viable. Is UBNT just focusing on AC now? They don't talk to M series though, do they?
