Josh, you are dead on. I think that the speed of equipment and the quality of what we are seeing from several vendors, is pretty amazing. Cambium has taken 802.11n to places I didn’t think it would go but is last generation for us. Ubiquiti has exploded with 802.11ac products across the board that is finally stable and the results we are seeing are impressive enough that we are expanding some rural areas with it. Mimosa has opened up new markets for us and have changed the way we deploy backhaul design. Ignitenet has allowed us to upgrade backhaul speeds on short links at budget prices and are still expanding.
So, Radwin or Cambium 450m? Both are solid products but at this point and based on price/profitability/results, I think multiple vendors are leaving those products behind for the majority of deployments.

They have yet another NMS, in UNMS, which seems to be supporting everything from ptmp radios, to backhauls, switches, routers, gpon, and cpe devices. They have radios with severe RF filtering, GPS sync, real-time spectrum analysis, their own silicon... indoor radios with with MU-MIMO, 802.11r, and beamforming... Their UniFi offering is actually pretty solid now, though the router management needs real work still, but they are progressing rapidly. DPI is nice. MPLS is good, but obviously needs hardware acceleration. Anyway, my point is that this in many ways is not the company of even just a few years ago. They still have things to work on, as does any company, but overall I think they offer incredible performance on top of reasonable costs without license key hell. FCC is posting new stuff from their various branches all the time, and LTU might be very interesting. It's a good time to be in this market as an end user... Better than in many years. - Josh On Jun 28, 2017 7:20 PM, "Chris Wright" <ch...@velociter.net<mailto:ch...@velociter.net>> wrote: I’m going to infer you’d like to talk about Mimosa and Ubiquiti, both of which are still wet behind their ears when it comes to providing a mature platform for PTMP > 3 mile. They’re cheaper and underdeveloped. Case in point: SNMPv3 has been defined for fifteen years now and UBNT still hasn’t implemented it. Mimosa didn’t support SNMP at all in their A5 until the latest firmware update this month. Not unlike Apple computers in the early 2000’s, they’re poised to make a significant impact on the market in the future, but currently still pretty much a joke.
