Ireland | Ubiquiti Nano
Has anyone tried any of these new Ubiquiti Nano's?
»www.ubnt.com/products/ns2.php
Following my experience with the Powerstation 2, I am reluctant to be an early adaptor.

Ireland | Hi Jb, I believe we may of met before on boards?
I too am the same, im not gonna be the gunie pig this time.
The units are beautiful looking and im sure they are as robust as the ps2. |

I'll be a pig and try some can't wait for them to be on market. They got a hole new pile of goodies coming.
The PS2 Vpol with 2.2os on it is running fine no problems. I have not tried the new 2.2.1os |

Sucks to have to wait that long to buy units to try. |

13dB is the absolute lowest we would go on a CPE regardless of power levels. That's twice the gain of a 10dB. 10dB at a 60 degree beamwidth with 400mW has no place in our outdoor deployments. It would spread RF absolutely everywhere we don't want it. Does Ubiquiti think anything out before pulling the trigger.
I can see a great need for these in hotel / MDU deployments. That's a great beamwidth to be shooting down hall ways.
Can anyone else here see why you would want a 60 degree beamwidth for a client CPE? especially at 400mW. How much harder would it have been to use a 13dB? Sure, you wouldn't be able to use the Canopy look alike housing with a 13dB antenna.

Sure, you wouldn't be able to use the Canopy look alike housing with a 13dB antenna. Paul I am going to agree with this. While I somehow think this unit was designed for more indoor installs than outdoor, this is way to much power in such a wide antenna. At 400mw, this unit is going to see EVERYTHING around it for quite a distance. In some of the places I am deploying CPE's, it would probably see at LEAST 30 AP's on a site survey because of the wide beam.
When deploying in areas like the one I just mentioned, it seems the only way to roll is with a very high gain antenna unit with very low power.

I'm curious to see how one of these would stack up to a Deliberant 2112 unit. They seem similar except for that the DLB has a 12dbi antenna and probably a more narrow beam width. But the NS2 has a higher power from what I see so far.
Could be interesting, although I'd certainly like the antenna to be a little tighter. |

| Very nice design and great price especialy for the NS5. Anyway the bad side is low gain. I supose there will be separate reflectors on the market soon to suport them for higher gain(like canopy)! |

What I am looking at is the additional antenna connector on this unit. It would make a nice tiny unit for 24 dbi grid installation, with the correct adaptor. |

This may explain the small antenna. Europe has much lower EIRP limits. Also noticed there is no way to tilt without purchasing an additional tilt style pole mount. |

Alvin, TX | Just because it runs 400 mph don't mean it has to run 400 mph. The nice part is you can add your on antenna. You can't buy any outdoor cpe for 79 bucks. |

Which firmware do you run on these?
Does it come with the AirOS firmware (I saw the specs, but maybe I missed it)? The airos looks like it has most of the features that we need is it pretty decent to work with? Is there other firmware that folks tend to run on the ubnt radios?
Thanks, Pat |

Is there other firmware that folks tend to run on the ubnt radios? As far as i now they will have the new AirOs on it wich will avible for the Ps2/Ps5 too .
I only can hope that they make the sdk and source open like they did it with the current Firmware 2.2 for Ps2/5 and Ls2/5.
The current Firmware (2.2 and 2.2.1) runs verry decent and fixed lots of problems they had in the versions before .
BTW i just preordered 5 nanosation5's they will be avaible in Eu in end of march ore so.
New toys harr...

Re: Ubiquiti Nano
Looks like this will take over Meraki - if they can put Mesh in it, or, leave it open for other OS. Looks great! |

| I don't think this is in the same class as Meraki unless your speaking of the cost and we all saw what Meraki did after investors like Google started demanding a return.
Ubiquiti could be taking a loss on these to get the ball rolling and to make up for the PS2 disappointment. Ubiquiti's investors will also be demanding a return so after the bug fixes and improvements are finished (98 to date I think I saw in their release notes) they too will be raising their prices.
So if you want to be a bug reporter, get in line and order some. |

| These new units look something similar to the new 1208 units Star-os have just come out with. Man I wish they would make a cpe like Ubnt's new Nano's where you could align it by the lights on the back. It would make installations alot more fast and easy. |

The StarOs unit are made by Compex (WPP54) Infineon ADM5120 based boards with 4MB flash and 32Mb Ram and uses a Atheros
minipci if i remember writh.
Chek out this for the Outdoorunit »www.compex.com.sg/home/products1···01540211
and this for the naked Board »www.compex.com.sg/home/OEM/product_ap.htm
anyhow i think same as you, the align leds can save time
on installations.
