[WISPA] Suggestions Request.
Hello, I could use some suggestions / field experience... We need to setup wifi for a medium sized apartment complex. We need to deliver Wifi for about 8-12 apt. spread throughout the complex. (The apt complex is about the size of a city block). We have done a field test / proof of concept with Meraki radios (only because I had them on the shelf), cannot do Ruckus (budget will not afford this). .. Mesh will do the job, but looking for radios with a bit more oomph than the Merai mini's. I was looking at using Ubiqiti Picostation 2HP flashed with Open-mesh ... but am concerned about folks on UBNT forum reporting strange coverage gap in the 20-50ft range I understand that there are some Engenius radios that will work with open mesh as well... ( radios need to be outdoor type). Any suggestions ? or opinions on PicoStation 2HP or Engenious Radios (please let me know what model #) and or the Open Mesh setup. Many Thanks in Advance. -- Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet& Telecom WISPA Wants You!

Pico all the way. Ubiquiti can do this with minimum budget.

Re: [WISPA] Suggestions Request.
If you can't do Ruckus then any Ubiquiti product should work (just be aware of antennas and PPS). Picos would probably be the best option.

Re: [WISPA] Suggestions Request.
They say August. But that would be the happy announcement email from them. Availability, probably October! :) Will be "on the boat" for at least a month. But I'm ready!
