Suggestions on backhaul

"SOOOOOON!" well that's good news! hahaha. I'm wondering if 'soon' to ubiquiti is an acronym for Sarcastically.Observing.Operators.Needs

I think your choice is between Ubiquity AC, Mimosa, and Mikrotik AirFibre.

Of the three, I would (from experience) avoid Ubiquity AC till their 7.x firmware is production. This could be never.

Mimosa. Rock solid. Love them.

AF? Never tried them, but for less than 7km, should be rock solid. If expensive?

Hope this helps.

MikroTik AirFiber? :) You mean Ubiquiti AirFiber? :)

Well it has been a few months and I am still waiting for my originally AF5X order to show up. Concrete was just put in the ground for the tower today and I am getting a bit nervous if it will be showing up on time or not. Not that it is too big of a deal as it is a backup link but we don't have our own tower climber and would like to have it up at the end of the build.

Does any one happen to know someone that has them? I didn't want to ask this question on the ubnt forum as I am sure it would be like a moth to a flame. Probably the same thing here but there are fewer moths. Ordered originally from Streakwave and they still can not get a date on when I can get one.

no known eta as far as i can tell. I always have better luck with doubleradius for pre-orders.

I have no idea on stock either. I use Streakwave and Doubleradius and they currently have no ETA. However, as soon as AF5X was announced I preordered 11 from Streakwave. I got all of them the first week of April, so that must have been Streakwaves first shipment. It could be another month or two before they get the next one.

That is just wonderful. Well the other option is to put up a dish with an M5 for now until the AFx shows up. At least I could have the aiming done for now.

Well I was sweating on this and I was going to just throw a set of AC ptp units up but yesterday they finally shipped. Talk about just in time. The tower was supposed to be up this weekend but steel got delayed so it ended up working out perfect. It looks like I am going to be needing 2 pair again by September. Though. Hopefully it will be easier to get them the next time around.
