More than 50 per any AP and you're running out of bandwidth.

Polling is what makes systems like Canopy and Nstreme shine. The
polling is different than the MIMO technology. Mimo is Antenna and
TDMA is polling. 802.11 was never designed for outdoor so the polling
is flawed for such purposes. I have seen 5ghz Mikrotik units with
nstreme enabled that had 70 clients at 3meg burstable speeds. I am
interested to see how many clients an airmax AP can handle.

Forbes, so are you saying: if I change and go to a Rocket with Airmax
dual pol antenna and I have a client with a UBNT Bullet M2 HP
Connected to a Laird 24Dbi Grid Vertical only dish, that even though
the Bullet has Airmax as part of it, it wont connect. Or are you
saying that all your clients need to be new with Airmax ability?

>From personal experience I can tell you that you will be very happy
when you make the switch. I just replaced three Mikrotik BH/AP
units, pings went from their rather wild 30-120ms swings to a steady
15ms no matter what time. Just be ready for three things, you can't
put usernames in the ACL like Mikrotik, there is less routing because
UBNT expects filtering to be done in your router before their
equipment, and it will never go down because it's just a transparent
bridge so traffic that would have overwhelmed Mikrotik equipment and
crashed the LAN port won't happen on Ubiquity. Oh and you're right,
I've found that if you use dual-polarity you can't mix that with
non-dual and connections with non-, its far better to have all Airmax
running rather than a mix, this means replacing CPE so that all
customers on that tower are the same equipment, spendy (relative to
UBNT's low cost) but worth it.

All my APs are Mikrotik. My CPE’s are a mix of Tranzeo and UBNT. I
have a AP with 58 Clients on it and starting to get complaints about
slowdowns. They are all setup 10 MHz channel 802.11g. This is a
tower that due to contractual issues I cannot add anymore equipment.
So I am considering taking down the Mikrotik and 120 degree sector
and putting up a UBNT Rocket and Airmax 120 sector. It will take
time to physically switch all my clients to new UBNT Airmax equipment
but would like to get it done before the snow flies.
Has anyone down this? Success? I know I cannot turn on Airmax till
everyone is on the UBNT with that capability but does it work fine
till you get it on?
