1 edit | SR9 / PCB Sneak Peek
Wile the firmware is now in the development stages, this would be a good time to make suggestions if you have them.
You can leave out "Just get it to work" as the PCB was designed with the SR9 in mind and there will not be any power issues, so months of development is already out of the way.
Suggest quickly, this will be in a store near you soon.

Obviously please don't forget to include 5/10mhz channel spacings. 
It would be nice if it could do NAT, be monitored via SNMP, do bandwidth shaping, and be remotely configured. |

12dB internal antenna with an N connector as well would be nice... |

Protect us from ourselves, though. If the channel edge is going out-of-band, don't allow that.

Slick looking board. This is the same unit that is in your 5Ghz unit, right?
How do you guys feel about a 12dbi or so integrated panel? Is that going to be enough gain to be very useful? Or are most applications going to use external antennas?

1 edit | I would say 12 to 15db max IMHO. Anything over 15db could be a very large AT  I think the RooTenna version will be rated at about 13db, but would LOVE to see other integrated antenna options Also, with the SR9 rated at 750mW I think anything over 15db is overkill. Let us know what you can come up with!

I sent you pricing in an IM. 
mrbueno, ghmorris, John Galt Thanks for the input.... It's easier to add features now then after the fact.
Caleb; Yes, that's the new 5GXi board. That's why it took so long to get it released, wanted it to be SR9 ready first.
As for the 12dB question, the first units released will be N-Female bulkhead equipped so your antenna choice is not limited what so ever. You can't please all the people all the time but that will give us time to evaluate the most popular dB range of the CPE panel that will work for most installs.
I wouldn't expect anything higher then 12dB though. To stay symmetrical so you can change polarities easily your already into 220+ sq. inches of wind load area and that requires thicker backplanes, thicker radio compartments and heavy duty mounting hardware which all equates to more $$$.
To keep your cost to a minimum and have the most versatility an N-Female bulkhead version will please more buyers out of the box. When you do 900MHz you do mostly yagis for your short client links and spend only what's necessary to make a solid connection. A 9dB Yagi will cost you half what a 9dB panel will and your still under 20". To do a 15dB grid you’re into 1000+ sq. inches of wire.
My next priority is to see how clean the 700mW boosted radio is. I will post some Spectrum Analyzer graphs when I get time in the lab to play.

Rock on HighGain!
Looks like you guys are on the ball with this one.
Could you PM me some general pricing as well.
Thanks! |

That board does look like a wonderful CPE platform. I would also like pricing. |

Oilton, OK | Too bad you guys couldn't do N-Streme. One of the things we are happiest about is we are building a polling 900Mhz system.

This is pretty exciting
Did you take the 5gxi board and it already had enough power for the card? Because if not you got this all together quickly

Thanks for taking up the slack , I don't usually get a chance to reply until the work day is over.

The PCB was designed with the SR9 in mind and if Ubiquiti had met their earlier projected release dates the 900MHz radio would have probably beaten the 5GXi to to our web site. The board was designed to handle 1500mA as the earlier SR9 specs were as high as 1200mA peak. We are now finding out that the SR9 is going to be closer to the 900mA to 1000mA peak so were in great shape.
Wile the firmware is being written in Poland I am doing the hardware testing here in Colorado.

One of the reasons for using N-Streme is that John Tully says they have added ARQ to N-Streme which isn't in 802.11a.
