The 2.4 versions have 3 radios (3x3 MIMO) and can come in single sector or 3 
diagonally-opposed omni options. UBNT CPE connect to it just fine. I'll be on a 
big road trip this week, but I'll send you some pricing examples offlist 
tomorrow or Tuesday evening. Anyone else interested hit me OFFLIST and I'll do 
the same.

I'd like more info on these or similar things as well.

I assume they connect to B/G/N CPE?  I don't have to replace all my UBNT CPE?

How about the omni antenna plots/patterns?  

Maybe a 2.4GHz only version?

Pricing?

                        I actually do not know yet. The 2450 are new and 
different from the previous ones in terms of some of the hardware (filters and 
such), so I don't yet have North American anecdotal examples. Most 
international examples are not WISP-based I understand, using omni versions for 
apps like smart cities, indoor coverage from outside, stadiums, etc. The WISP 
market is a big reason why we are doing the sector versions.

                         

                        The specs on the dual band sector are:

                        2.4 GHz: HGDP, 12dBi, 120ºH x 16ºV

                        5 GHz: HGDP, 14dBi, 120ºH x 8ºV

                         

                        Effective directed EIRP totals are high because they 
meet the PTP FCC requirements because of the adaptive beamforming:

                        2.4 GHz: 48 dBm
                        5 GHz: 49 dBm

                         

                        Those of you smarter than I can probably do the math 
then to get an idea of range at various heights. The one example I know from a 
trusted source (my engineer) is his getting stable 20mbps with the USB device 
one mile away from his house with the BTS mounted on the railing of his 2nd 
story porch. I am not sure of his LOS or NLOS condition, but I should assume 
mostly LOS to be safe. The beamforming is bi-directional from the CPE up as 
well, so that should help the range too.

                                Thanks for the details Tyson. You are right, 
that version is the legacy b/g version with 3 omnis diagonally opposed. That 
has 450 mbps aggregate (obviously in top modulation). The new 2450 series are 
N-based and feature 6 radios. Both the 2.4 and the 5GHz side are 3x3 MIMO. The 
versions include:

                                 

                                WBSn 2450-S which is a single dual band sector 
in 120 degrees with 6 antenna elements. I can get you exact H/V details if you 
want.

                                WBSn 2450-O which has three diagonally-opposed 
dual band omnis, again with each band 3x3. 

                                WBSn 2450-SO comes with a single 5 GHz 3x3 120 
sector and 3 diagonally-opposed 2.4 omnis.

                                 

                                Yes John, we have client devices, among them:

                                Dual Zone Indoor AP. It also beamforms and it 
is basically a very small form factor repeater that picks up the outdoor signal 
and re-broadcasts indoor. It is a really effective little box.

                                There is an outdoor CPE as you would expect.

                                There is also a USB version CPE as well as a 
desk mount.

                                 

                                I have to check as there may be others.

                                 

                                Max associations on BTSs are 512. All deliver 
900 mbps aggregate.

                                 

                                They all do beam adaptive beamforming, which 
means the antennas target all the energy to each client and does this on a per 
packet decision basis. This helps considerably with interference mitigation. 
The radios also have several other patented interference mitigation techniques.

                                 

                                Alvarion improved upon the performance of these 
radios as well and the 2450 series are the result. All are IP68 (complete 
submersion down to 3 feet deep) boxes and feel like tanks.

                                We have 3 omni wbs2400 deployed currently and 
our original reason for trying wavion was the amount of clients we wanted to 
connect to a single ap.  The most we had was 110 clients at one time, but we 
noticed some performance issues at around 80-90 clients.  The model mentioned 
is BG only not N.  Clients connected were roughly 2/3 legacy ubiquiti and 1/3 
newer ubnt dual mimo on it.  Customers speeds set from 512k to 5Mb.  They use 
something called beam forming I believe that supposedly just enables it to 
penetrate or go around obstacles more efficiently and I think for an omni 
(which I usually hate) it gets a solid 5-7 miles near line of sight.  The new 
ones they have are BGN and can dual band(2.4 & 5.8) and supposedly can handle 
double the amount of clients.  And another plus is the few times we have had 
issues all ive done is create a tech file in the web gui email it and they are 
good about troubleshooting with you.  If u have specific questions I didn't 
answer let me know.

                                Could you share details about Wavion? How many 
customers on an AP? Is it omni or secotor? MIMO? Do they have AP and client 
devices? Longest customer link? Latency results average/max/min on longest 
shot? Do they only use plain vanilla Wifi or some scheduled TDMA variant (like 
UBNT AirMAX or Proxim WARP or old Karlnet stuff)? Max raw TCP throughput per 
sector? How many deployments? Anything like this would be very valuable. I 
liked to hearing about all Wavion was supposed to be able to do when I saw them 
at a show but I am always hesitant to believe anything that is pure Wifi can be 
a real outdoor delivery platform. Very interested to hear your results about 
this device.

                                Alvarion has recently come out with a higher 
capacity AP (LTE?), but I'd consider it to be at the new bar for average. 
Otherwise, WiMAX and LTE are generally too low of throughput to be useful.
                                
                                I don't think anyone has really enough of a 
differentiator in the WiFi space to not use UBNT or Mikrotik. UBNT is cheap and 
generally works. Mikrotik has their whole RouterOS behind it and generally 
works.
                                
                                Cambium is the only thing I can think of that's 
doing their own thing. It looks really good if only the APs were 90% less 
expensive.
                                
                                100 meg of throughput on an AP is really the 
minimum to be considered. I have areas where I could put something multiples
