Re: UBNT AirMax - What does what?

Yea spectrum isn't the greatest around here. There is a WISP that has some canopy 900APs up, but the tower barely breaks the tree line, so most users have poor connections anyway. Its over loaded, speeds/pings are horrible especially during peak times.

Out of the households in the area, I probably have about 45% that have clear LOS to tower 1. If I include tower 2, can bump that up to 55%. Still leaves a lot of people in the dark, but isn't too much that can be done besides running some fiber, or some rigged type of mesh network to cover these neighborhoods that are in a thick wooded valley.

As of now I am trying to finalize the deal on the tower and to see how flexible they are as far as how many devices can go on it, and their vertical spread.

First, you can't remove the idiot element from the the equation. Any idiot can take perfectly good gear and make it work incorrectly.

Second, you're in trouble with remaining 45%. Maybe you will have luck with UBNT 900mhz gear - personally I doubt it.
