Great discussion. To add to it, last night we just cut over another 30 users that were on a 3 antenna Ubiquiti MicroPop 30’ tower with RF Armor over to a Mimosa A5-360 14 AP. A lot less windload and signal levels/modulation rates increased. The radios were AC-Lites. In this case, I would have saved $300 with the Mimosa.

The number of times I fixed a problem by rebooting a Canopy AP is basically zero. UBNT is cheaper, and probably good enough in many cases. In business, good enough and cheaper is sometimes a hard combo to argue with, but I would if it was me I would do Cambium.

Knowing what you know, if you were starting a WISP, based solely on performance and manageability, if you had to be 100% one or the other would you select Ubiquiti or Cambium 450x for your APs and CPE/SM hardware (leaving the backhaul out of the discussion)?
