Ubiquiti stuff with NV2 protocol

Has anyone thought about integrating NV2 it into AirOS for Nanstation M5 or NS5?
Many ISP´s seems to have a lot of Ubiquity client stuff and consider migrating to NV2 protocol.
Mostly the hardware costs are against to do that.
There is a SDK for AirOS available, I am not an expert in software hacking bu it should not be that hard.

Any comments welcome!

@Sonny: NV2 and Airmax are proprietary protocols. The will *NEVER* be compatible with each other.

I know this very well! I am following mikrotik since 2002 like ROS 1.3

But AirOS is an open platform with a SDK to develop your own firmware or do modifications.
If someone will implement the wireless driver from mikrotik mibsbe paket - you are done.
Of course less features at client stations.

yes, but you would have to get it first. this is proprietary software, so it's not possible to get it.

You're wrong. AirOS has SDK – right, but wireless driver is closed source.

Good luck with nv2.

It is a complete disaster in my 100% mikrotik network. Same speed like nstreme, and clients randomly freezes (you can see them in the reg-list, but no ping, winbox, ...)

Something is wrong in your network. Be sure using the latest software and board firmware.
Try to reconfigure locking clients and AP from scratch.
Use if possible only n cards at AP.
Find channel with lowest interference.
Use RF shields on nearby APs.
Set NV2 distance 25% over most distant client.
Try t :D imeperiod 3 or 5.
Set timeperiod the same at all APs.

Give karma it helps :)

are you running ospf?

Use lastest version of firmware, it solves me a lot of issues. :)

pacoss, please contact support@mikrotik.com we will provide you with a new package that will improve the stability of your nv2 links if you had control frame timeout disconnection problems. You need to install that test package only on the AP.
This new update will be included in next RouterOS release.
