We use Bullets both 2.4 and 5.8 Ghz for City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii State Civil Defense and my own personal repeater systems in Hawaii.
The longest shot that I have is 30 miles from the town of Hilo to the 8500' level of Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. I'm running 1/2 rate bandwidth and still hold a significant amount of signal headroom. It has been running for several years without any issues what so ever. I've purchased all of my equipment from
http://www.microcom.us/browse-by-brand--ubiquiti-networks.html and have had great service and success with them.
The hill has significant issues from icing to very high amounts of UV, cold-hot-cold etc. It's been flawless. It's been a install it and forget it type of project…
Hi Gang,
In recent messages, Ubiquiti equipment has been mentioned for links.
I was wondering how it stacks-up in terms of keeping out / withstanding the weather. I have an application in mind for an AllStar node and it will be on a wild hilltop with nasty weather (very). The path I have in mind is just under 10
miles, clear line-of-sight.
Can any of the ubiquiti stuff stand a bit of a weather bashing and, if so, which items have been found best?
