Ubiquiti 600 mw card out for 2 and 5 Ghz

Has anybody test this card XR-2 and XR-5 600 mw card

more powerfull and more stable…
XTREMERange2
600mW Output Power
Extended Temperature
ESD/EMP Protection
Enhanced Filtering
Industry-Best Sensitivity
5/10/20/40 MHz Channels
MMCX Ant. Connector

Ive tested these cards :wink: What you need to know?

Mike

what is advanrage for this card …distance wise or bandwidth wise …or anything else

I know other companies has problems with 400 mW because of EMS noise they can’t pass FCC, can imagine that this 28X will have even bigger noise :slight_smile: Then what is the energy drain?? Imagine if you need to use 2 or 4 miniPCI radios. Power consumption then will cause even more overheating than SR5 has. This could be a problem

i wonder how these compare to the new wistron dcma-82 , also price-wise

are the new ubiqutiy cards already in massproduction ?

What US supplier has these cards?

Do they work ok with MT?

Hey guys,

We do have FCC Modular Cert,

These cards work great on Mtik as long as the voltage is there. They do draw more current then Sr2 or Sr5.

Thanks,

Hi Mike from Ubiquiti. Thank you for making great products like the SR2 - the SR2 with Mikrotik is a great combination.

What is the advantage of the XR2 vs an SR2 on 802.11b, or 802.11g?

The receive specs are the same? If so…is it just the 600mw vs 400mw (about 1.5db I’d guess).

Hey guys,

Here is a link to the Data Sheet with specifications on the Xr2. Easier then me explaining them :wink:

Thanks,

Yeah, I saw that. But I still have the same questions, and it would be great if you could sum it up:

How about:

– No diversity switch to burn out (lower odds to drive, climb);

– Better ESD durability (another roll of the dice to drive, climb);

– Better temperature rating (yet another coin flip chance to drive, climb);

– Better rejection of out-of-band signals (not going to necessarily save driving and climbing, but may help with sleep);

– More time and money to eat pizza, drink beer, sleep.

Mike,

Have you had a chance to test those XR-5’s in real world situations? We currently use alot of Trango for our AP’s. We use MT for BH’s. I’m working on get the owner to switch over to MT totally, but i need some real world people that have used both and know the differences or can give me real world examples of how well they worked and can be used.

How would your new XR-5 compare to lets say the Trango 5.8 AP?

I didn’t see that on the spec sheet, how do you know of this feature? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll try one or two out when the local supplier gets them in. The only time we use higher power is when using a very low gain antenna - ie to get the maximum vertical coverage by using a little 4dBi omni with a 28dBm radio. Although there are maximum dBm limits that should be observed.

Unfortunatly I can not do a comparison for you, as I do not have expierience in real world situations with Trango euiqpment, just in a lab type enviroment.

But the Xr-5 versus Sr-5, in real world situations provides a much cleaner/robust link.

I must have missed that one too :frowning:

Who sells these cards???

Does anyone have any real world experiences with the xr-5’s yet?

Hi Mike,

I see on the spec sheet there is an alternative frequency range in brackets - can you tell me more? Is that the full operating range?
We’re desperately looking for cards that’ll do the upper 2.4GHz to lower 2.5GHz…

Hi Mike,

I appreciate the fact you must promote the mini pci card from the company you work for. I have problems with you avioding answerring important questions asked about the 600mW cards. We need the answers to make purchase decisions. Now again i asked the question again;

Apart from the increase in power why should we buy the 600mW card as against your 400mW cards. The 400mW card a fully feed tested and come out tops. This is a simple question, please answer it and do not refer use to the datasheet , i and i am sure the rest of the guys have read the data sheet long before it was annouced on this site.

You could of course ask sales@ubnt.com instead of beating up on a UBNT engineer who has the courtesy to frequent this forum.

UBNT has been incredibly open and responsive about their cold weather SR9 problems. I have NEVER seen a company handle this kind of problem as well.

Mike hangs out here listening for tech issues involving his product.

He is not and doesn’t pretend to be a sales guy. MikroTik is not keen having sales people pitching their technolgy on this forum for perfectly understandable reasons.
