Availability after launch

Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:12 am

So what is your stock situation going to look like so far? Is this going to be like UBNT where it is impossible to get without a pre-order on the books for the next 6 months? Just wondering if I need to plan on keeping a bunch on the shelf. I hate to add to a possible low supply issue by hoarding something I may not need for a while.

Our first batch coming VERY soon will be a limited number but we have several thousand units scheduled for release in September and another several thousand scheduled for October.

We have not yet decided how many to build for November or December.

Now will that be enough.....guess it depends on how many we sell?

I will say I have gained a lot of respect for Ubiquiti and the difficulties involved in bringing a product to production.

Components have long lead times which means you have to "guess" how many you will need months in advance. :crazy:

Make a single small hardware change and you can add 3 to 6 weeks to your production schedule. :headb:

Since I do not have Robert's deep pockets it becomes an even harder job of resource management. :Box:

I and the entire team have worked very hard on this project and I really hope you guys like them! :working:

Are you seeing decent demand so far?

Even if I had no direct use for the products you are making the hardware geek in me would want them.
