Is the CubeSA 60Pro ac a real, shipping, thing yet?

I have a farm that has some old 5Ghz PtP links. The problem is they are not playing to well with my WAPS. And the throughput is pretty low.

Most of the shots are clear line of sight.

was thinking maybe 60Ghz sector antennas???

Anyone tried one yet?

I have a bunch of the wireless wire cube out there and they have been solid. But since there are several location in the same general direction... it would be more suited for sector rather than PtP each building.

The silence is a little disconcerting.

What is the distance............?? To ease your mind LOL

200-600 meters

We've been using them for a while now and gradually expanding the network. We were delighted with them initially but have found that if we have more than three stations on a AP the throughput drops by quite a lot. We thought that if, say, three out of four were idle the fourth would get almost the full capacity. This doesn't seem to happen. To be fair, we haven't researched this completely and it could be caused by something we haven't yet considered.

The APs have a hard maximum of six stations, while other suppliers have fifteen on their 60 GHz products.I do not know why that is; perhaps it is related to throughput considerations?

On the plus side, they are very easy to install; the beam forming seems to sort out any small alignment errors. Also the pricing is very good and they are quite small in comparison to others.

I have often wondered why the stations are larger than the APs; I would have thought that the AP would have a larger, more complicated antenna system. Does anyone know?

I hope this helps a bit and might stimulate some discussion.

BillP,

That's the sort of thing I was looking for!

@gotsprings I haven't used the SA's at this point. I'm using wAP60's and Cube60's as AP's with up to 8 CPE at a time and have over 100 customers deployed on them. Cube 60 Pro's as CPE work very well, along with the older Cubes and LHG's. I use Cubes up to about 500m and LHG60 up to 750m. For redundancy, the Cubes' WiFi radio can connect to an OmniTik, which can also power the 60GHz APs.

For higher density deployments I'm using Tachyon Networks (32 in 120 degrees) and for distance Ubiquiti's Wave (24 subs in 30 or 90 degrees up to 8km/5mi).

They all have their place in the toolbox.

@Sirbryan,

That brings me to a question.

The price difference between the MikroTik and UBNT stuff is pretty small. Made me question if I should even bother with MikroTik 60Ghz. Just use the UBNT gear which would tie in UNMS.

Doesn't cost that much more.
Can handle greater distances.
Can handle more clients per radio.

Just wondering.

We've just installed our first Ubiquiti Wave devices. So tar they're pretty good - I'll try to remember to report back as we gain more experience.

Please do... I was also noticing that UBNT has 2.5 Gigs vs 1.

Whats the word?

Still looking for more input on 60Ghz PtMP
