Ubiquiti doesn’t seem to like having an “ecosystem”. Maybe that’s an Apple thing that rubbed off on Robert. Along with an affinity for the color white.

This would help get the radios out to the masses faster. :-) Paging Chuck Macenski + Gary Schulz On 6/7/2016 3:27 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: Sure can. I would recommend SMA connectors though I think. What does the radio have on it?

Paging Chuck McCown- If we wanted 20 or 30 of these could you make up a batch? I assume there would be others who would end up wanting them too.

The question is having the right adapter, which it sounds like Chuck will build.

I imagine some operators like us may want to upgrade existing 11 GHz links to the UBNT radio to gain more capacity. Our licensed links are Dragonwave Horizon Compact and we use the Andrew VHLP2-11-DW1 in the majority of links. Is there an adapter that will convert these dishes to N connections? These dishes also allow us to rotate the radio to take advantage of Horizontal or Vertical polarities as our license dictates. Can they be run in dual polarity? Ideally, the adapter would have 2 N connections, one for H + V. Here is a photo of the Dragonwave interface.
