if money doesnt go to both staff and hardware, money isnt a good thing
to throw at it. Underpaid, overworked, under-qualified staff end up
standing confused poking themselves in the eye looking at the
cobblefuckery on the network. you can hand the best gear in the world
to a guy, if hes just poking himself in the eye its not going to do any
good. If you have a good team, you can do more with less, like ubnt,
but if you have a good team AND good gear you can do great things and
nobody gets poked in the eye

No doubt there will be plenty of poorly run and designed (and may
already be) ePMP and Mimosa networks, but I suspect that the majority
of those networks will always be UBNT and maybe some MikroTik, simply
because if you're comparing price and the specs that most people
without a lot of experience are going to care about, Cambium looks
like a pretty poor value in comparison, even with ePMP - as in "Why
would I pay $100+ for a Force 200 and only does 200Mbps, when I can
get a LiteBeam AC that does 450Mbps for like $60?". You probably
aren't going to understand why things like GPS sync, and most of the
things Cambium does better, matter until you try to run a fairly large
network - and in a lot of cases they really don't matter until the
network grows to a certain point, which makes UBNT a fine choice... in
a lot of cases probably even the best choice.

To add to this, there's a lot of poorly run UBNT networks out there
simply because the price made the equipment more accessable.
I'm sure there's a fair share of poorly designed cambium networks as
well, but likely not as many (more money in the company, higher % of
experienced professionals, etc).
I'm sure there will be just as many poorly designed and ran ePMP and
Mimosa networks given time :)

ohhh… good conversation in my opinion.
I came from a pure Cambium/Moto shop and now work with a company
that is pure ubiquiti … but i’m not hands on with that side of the
shop …. would say with everything I’ve seen from a distance that I
really miss Cambium gear ;)

If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your
team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
