Constant spectral analysis was something I asked UBNT about awhile back for AirOS and UniFi... Cisco does something similar. I guess in the "easy method" it would doubles the chip cost in some cases, but it's very valuable to have this info for WISPs and people deploying high-density solutions. The ability to have the same data on the *remote* side of the connection is just as important as well, especially when it comes to helping identify customer issues (in the case of PtMP).

What kind of latency hit are we talking about in a 4 way 90deg PtP backhaul setup? Also, will you be developing your own shielded antennas for PtMP?

+1. I swear it only took us a month to implement your great idea ;) Alas good ideas do take time.

The trick Josh that we found was that it’s incredibly difficult to change channels fast enough and settle on the usual Wi-Fi chips which have limited driver access, often taking over 10 milliseconds of time to make the change.

This problem also had to be solved to handle constant spectrum analysis as well without service impact, down to 150 microseconds switching time to settle now.

At least it worked for one person =P
