If my memory serves me correctly, I believe Robert Pera has stated that wireless has peaked and they needed to look at other product lines. I’m not sure how that could be when WISPS barely cover 10%, if that, of the available Internet customers. As Ubiquiti opened up markets that Motorola ignored for years, I believe other new markets are going to be opening up very soon. I’m betting on it.

Except for Chuck of course. It seems to me they believe wireless is near dead so it isn't worth it. Solar being the future and all. Really I think it is a case of shiny object syndrome. UBNT always seems to have lacked some focus, or at least perseverance. Not to bash then to much. They defiant have a value product. I think they are hurting as the price of what I would term as better products have closed the price gap a good bit.

If other companies can make sync work with atheros chipsets, I have to assume Ubiquiti could too... if they really wanted to.
