Re: new Deliberant units
said by pkats  :Who out there is using the new Deliberant units? Are you having any problems with them? I bought one to try it out, I thought the interface sucked, and was dog slow, but it was atheros based, and I have a thing for atheros. I loaded it with dd-wrt and hung it at a customer prem.. Seems OK so far but its not even been a week. |

I tried to get 2 of the 15's to link in a clear LOS 5 mile link and it kept dropping the connection. Matt had me turn down the power, said it was too much power for that distance and I should use the default 20dB.
I turned down the power and they wouldn't even connect.
I think the 500mW was a big mistake. There isn't enough receive strength to support that much power.
I sent them back to DoubleRadius. |

You should have zero problem making that link with actual clear LOS at 2.4.. that doesn't make any sence for it not too.
And what does "There isn't enough receive strength to support that much power." that mean exactly.. ?? They have better receivers then they ever have had. |

And what does "There isn't enough receive strength to support that much power." that mean exactly.. ?? They have better receivers then they ever have had. The specs say there better but our test did not.
When connected to our AP running at 36dB EIRP we had to turn down the TX of the Delib unit to 24dB to match the signal strength the Delib unit reported. We were able to go out further at a higher setting but the Delib unit would not hold a link. The 12dB unit may be better matched but I will not spew 500mW off of a 12dB antenna. Their web site says "a screaming 500 mW output power". Screaming is right but I don't need radios that scream but can't listen.
I have been requesting RF plots on their forum for the 12db antenna for nearly a year and still have not received one nor do they put it in their specs. |

To see an example of the new web interface, here's a clip:

This is navigating through an actual radio. As you can see, it's quite a bit faster.

Atlanta, GA | Deliberant products now use the wilibox software, which by itself requires a license. However, all Deliberant devices come pre-loaded with software and license, so Deliberant customers should never have to worry about licensing.
