Yes, they are, one way: the Tachyon (as CPE) will connect to the UI AP. I haven’t tried UI CPE to Tachyon AP’s.
The UI AP doesn’t show the Tachyon CPE in the GUI, so you don’t know they’re connected until the CPE comes online and acquires an address from the DHCP server.
The Tachyon CPE have to be configured for either 1080MHz or 2160MHz; they don’t automatically adjust like the Wave CPE will when you change settings in the UI AP. Also, the newest Tachyon firmware has different channel assignments for 1080MHz, so they’re not compatible if you choose to run 1080 on the UI AP.
So while it works (we used it as a crutch for one customer for about a month), it’s not very flexible and doesn’t make sense in the long run, especially given that Tachyon radios can be CPE or AP, and cost much less than Wave AP’s.
Yeah gonna get me some of those. But, the gain on the Wave LR and Wave Pro is superior to the 300m dish option on the 303x. And the integrated 5GHz radio (as lousy as it is) makes the longer ranges possible in our area during rain fade.
@sirbryan, question regarding 60GHz devices:
I need to connect two locations around 1-1.2km distance, PtP link, at least 1Gbit bandwidth (the more, the merrier).
What would you recommend - Ubiquiti or Tachyon ? And which devices specifically ?
It depends on your rain zone. Tachyon has a link calculator on their site that will help you figure out which antennas work best with the 303X for that range.
For me, rain zone B (western US) says I’d be fine with two 303X’s with 150mm antennas. For rain zone Q, you’d want the 300mm antennas for 1200m.
Tachyon has 2.5Gbps ports vs. Wave Nano/AF60LR/Wave LR’s 1Gbps ports.
Wave Nano/LR have backup 5GHz radios, AF60LR does not.
Wave LR and AF60LR have better gain (and therefore rain resilience).
Wave Nano and LR can do 1500Mbps aggregate, whereas AF60LR can do 2000Mbps aggregate. Tachyon can do 2500Mbps aggregate.
