Re: [mesh-dev] Nanobeam and assumptions

Lately we've been talking about the possibility of using non-openwrt routers for point to point bridged links. We've heard from a few people that performance of ubiquiti M5 gear for point to point links >

Is it actually a beamforming antenna thing? If they're using the smart array antenna thing then, *cough* I know how that works. Would you be able to take some photos of the internals? -adrian On 11 March 2015 at 21:23, Mitar <mitar(a)tnode.com> wrote: > Hi! > > Yes, we are often using original firmware on point-to-multipoint links > with Ubiquiti hardware because performance is much better.
