To answer question I don't think so. I think the 5V-POE issue is going
to scare us away from them for now anyway. The Nanobridge2 will be mimo,
easier to install and should be very close in signal to the AirGrid2-20
anyway. The MIMO seems to be good for about a 3 db pickup.

Does anyone on the north American continent have Ubiquiti AirGrids

One thing that is saving us alot of time is dealing with delinquent

4.9 performs just like 5.2 and 5.8.
There is no NLOS. I have deployed a lot of it for PD surveillance cameras.
The noise floor is low, but I still have links that just will refuse to
work.
And there are only 2 non overlapping channels unless you squeeze your
bandwidth.

Email address is managed inside an account so you know who's it is
