Name that wireless gear...

Ever since I started my first WISP 8 years ago, I can't be outdoors without noticing (and sometimes obsessing) on wireless equipment. there's a 24 dB grid, oooh, that's the new antenna from blank, you know what I mean. I am sure I am not the only one out there so here's a quiz!

I'll get you started with this one. It's a RooTenna from Laird Technologies, 2.4 GHz, 15 dB. Spotted this at the base of the lift going up Prospect Mountain.
I likely has a MikroTik radio inside.







The next one is a little tougher.  The antennas I recognize, they are 5.x gig from SuperPass. I used quite a few of these in my WISP and always had good service and performance from them.  The radio is not so easy, see if you know?















The last one is easy if you recognize the logo.  Give it a try.

PS: All of these manufacturers of wireless products are available at ISP Supplies.

These rack mount adapters are HOT!

First Ubiquiti Training

I held my first Ubiquiti Training this week in Denver, Colorado with 19 students in attendance.   It was an awesome time and I think everyone learned a lot including me. I always learn when I teach.  if you are interested in Ubiquiti training, look me up at ubnt.mywisptraining.com.

Maybe less IS more!

Just when I thought we had a great new product, someone shows up with something better!  Here is our newest addition to the MikroRouter Line, the MikroRouter 8000ux2. 

 

 I like this router for a lot of reasons.  First, it has the power to replace a lot of high end (read expensive) gear with a lower cost alternative with all the power of RouterOS.  It fills the gap in the Cisco lineup and in addition, the LCM display on the front is really nice and gives valuable information, rather than "Network Appliance" or the router brand.  It gives throughput, CPU load, memory, uptime and a lot of other useful info.  

So as I was basking in the satisfaction of a product that takes up where the RB1100AHx2 leaves off, and then MikroTik announces this:

36 cores! Are you kidding me?  Well, if more is better then my new MR8000ux2 isn't as awesome as a I thought.  But wait a minute, the MR8000ux2 is in stock and shipping but the Cloud Router is still in the "cloud".  Maybe less IS more! 

MikroRouters are available from ISP Supplies in College Station, Texas.
