So, they work well for fill in coverage? I'm looking to use something like this to fill in the cracks of what would otherwise be insanely expensive. I don't mind spending money on the backbone, but for fill in coverage, I'd like to find something significantly cheaper, particularly something hackable. I see that they have a discover tool http://www.ubnt.com/support/ns2.php Anyone use this? WISPA Wants You!

For ~$79, you get a small, waterproof CPE with a 400mw 802.11b/g radio and a dual polarity 10dbi antenna. It does POE (with included adapter), mounts to a pole, and has an external SMA (regular, not reverse polarity) connector. Not too shabby... Anyone else using it with WDS and willing to put up with the crapiness of only having one frequency for both access and backhaul?

Re: [WISPA] APs and webstores
I have not been really happy with the NS2. I ordered 10 of them because of the shortage you are speaking of. In one month we have had a 50% failure rate. I have them sitting in my office here. Not real impressed if I have to explain to the customer why we just installed them and I have to replace the equipment within 2 weeks.

Re: [WISPA] APs and webstores
If Yawl remember back when Ubiquiti came out with the SR2 it was the same way. After they get production in order with NS2, there will be plenty available. It just seems to take them a while to get new products rolling good enough to meet demand. I just have a few running in a trailer park and haven't had any trouble with them but it will be rally hard to beat me away from Mikrotik CPEs after all the headaches I've had over the years trying to save a buck on cheap CPEs and end up spending more in the end fighting problems and pissed off customers.

Re: [WISPA] Chrysler to make wifi hotspot cars
It's not just Verizon though. AutoNet has agreements in place with both Verizon and Sprint. Now with the Verizon acquisition of Alltel and the announcement of EV-DO availability on their network, it makes it even stronger. Furthernore, while this is primarily EV-DO for broadband, there is still support for their 1xRTT service, which has a larger national footprint than the EV-DO area. At $29 a month though, it seems like a fancy accessory vs. something that everyone would subscribe to. The price point is a little high, especially when you factor in how more Americans are spending LESS time in their vehicles than ever.. -drew On Jun 27, 2008, at 8:55 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: I can drive to downtown Chicago in under an hour on a good day and Verizon EVDO isn't available here... -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Bryan Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Chrysler to make wifi hotspot cars On Jun 26, 2008, at 8:27 AM, Drew Lentz wrote: #3.
