They have been DFS2 friendly for a long time, yes. They've been tweaking the 
false-positive reactions, but otherwise good.

UBNT says that they got DFS2 working in 5.5.2, in 2012, so at least some 
radios, including the NSM5, are compliant. Aren't these officially approved yet 
for the DFS bands?

DFS always comes second due to a longer certification process. It'll eventually 
come. Some manufacturers seem to get approved more quickly, but that could be 
timing of announcements and not the actual certification process. 

-50 dBm? Where? Where? I do see where your address is and I am suspect. I am in 
suburban Chicago and I have at worst -70 noise floor. It's actually better in 
downtown Chicago at someone I know's apartment 22 floors up (maybe low-E 
glass?). Something is very wrong if you have a -50 dB noise floor.

Recent events make me wonder if the FCC is trying to muscle wisps out of these 
frequencies. 

Since we are primarily Ubiquiti equipment I can only speak from that platform. 

First the latest firmware update removes compliance test which for about 40% of 
our equipment deployed would render them unusable since 5735 - 5840 runs at - 
50dBm or higher noise levels in our area, 

Second is new product released only supports 5735 - 5840. 

Seems like DFS is such a pain that manufacturers do not want to mess with it. 

Case in point the new NanoBeam M series only support 5725-5850 for USA. 

Worldwide version which we are not allowed to buy or deploy supports 5170-5875. 




Seems the only alternative is to go with licensed P2MP which makes more money 
for the FCC and drives the cost of wireless internet up for both wisps and 
consumers.
