For UBNT gear it does not matter which chain you connect to which antenna port / polarization, so you should be ok either way.

we have bunch of updates in the pipeline that include the save option. What do you mean by the two points exposed?

Missing alot of ubiquiti product. Can you add powerbeams and nano beams.

Unfortunately we don't have the data to those devices - UBNT does not share them with us, so we can't add them.

Hi, as you correctly assumed, the UD-TP-24 has almost flat gain across the useful bandwidth so the 7 - 8 dB drop in signal strength is strange. To your questions:

1. May be that due to different frequency the reflections add up destructively at the CPE, I'd try to move either AP or CPE (including antenna) up/down a little to see if it improves. 

2. For 1.5 mi distance a 24 dBi AP and 26 dBi LTU-LR antenna are more than enough. You can use the UD27-TP if you want, but if the noise is an issue, UltraHorn will increase the SNR more than the 3 dB difference in gain comparing UD24-TP an UD27-TP. Beam efficiency of UD24-TP is 40% while Ultrahorn has 99% beam efficiency

Regarding beam width - unless you have noise sources within the 15 deg beam width angle of UH vs. 12 deg of UD24-TP, you should be ok. 

Let's see what can be done here..

@sabielomna There is a negligible difference between the H/ V radiation patterns as well as at different frequencies, so practically you'd really not see any difference in the coverage the antennas provide. Or do you have a need for extreme precision? If so, what kind of application are you dealing with?

Would love the option to download as KMZ to import into google earth.

 Hi Dale, it's in the pipeline for the following calculator update that will happen this year among other major updates.. so it'll take a little patience before it's out

Today the 25km link on the amateur radio relay DB0SYS was converted from vertical to MIMO, using a UD-TP27 with radome and Mikrotik RB912UAG. Not an easy job with wintry 2 degrees and wind. The new network cable was a bit bulky.

Nice installation, def the cold and wind make it bittersweet, but the result looks (and works) great, well done!

You're right, by now we are sure TPA-ADAP-e2K works with ePMP Force 400C as well.

Sorry about that, yeah, the edge of the dish is different between the generations and the radome was optimized for the new gen only..

Nice feature would be the ability to put multiple AP's on the same location. That way we can simulate the best layout of horns for a location without having to run each AP separately.

 

Thanks! 

Hi John, yes, I agree, the next round of link calc update is in the pipeline including this feature as well, so hang on there!

Hi Alex, ideally, if you have 2 spare radios, put up the two 30 deg sectors first, set them up and then the downtime will be literally zero.

I would probably pick 19 dBi option, considering that Horn + TP-A have less connection loss vs antennas with coax connectors and jumpers.

Right, the corrosion is an issue we're aware of and are in the process of fixing. 

Please contact the distributor you bought the antenna from with ID of the antenna, the same photos, and we they take care of it!

Hi Craffi, can you please share more details of the location? Was the antenna at the shore? How long it took for it to corrode this much?

Would like to see the Cambium ePMP Force 400C radios in here

it's in the pipeline, stay tuned to our SM channels - we'll announce it there once it's up. Datasheet itself is not enough unfortunately..

Hello, we'll be at the WISPA palooza in the US, you can get a free shirt there. We are also setting up a swag shop where everyone will be able to purchase them, thank you for patience.

I need one too large please!

 

Hello Chris, we are in the process of setting up a swag shop, so until then, we stop mailing T's one by one. Hang on there, and follow our SM channels - once it's out, you'll know it..

I wished you had a store we could just buy more shirts and horny propaganda

Hey Keith, actually, that is exactly what is in the works, you'll know when it's out from our SM channels

I got my shirt a long time ago and was too small. I've been buying horns for a while now without the expectations for a shirt but now I'm so freaking horny, I could really use a shirt. If it helps, we just bought another 6x 30asyms and 6x tp adapters.

 just PM'd you

Hi, the recommended spacing is 1 m. However many space the antennas much closer than that and their results are still excellent.

Hi Sarv, we do not make any antennas for wifi routers, unfortunately. But if you have the N-connector output from those, and they work in the same spectrum, you could try any of our Carrier class or TwistPort antennas depending on the link budget. For the Twistport ones you'd need TPA-SMA adaptor and corresponding cable though. 

Would be interesting to know if / how it worked. If you end up trying, please write here how it went.

It looks like the base for the topography and satellite imagery is Google Earth based and I've noticed you can IMPORT clients via .kmz files.

Would you be able to give us an EXPORT to .kmz button? Even if it were just the heatmap produced, we could overlay onto our GE maps and it would greatly help with deployment as well as serviceability.

Hi Ajm, thanks for the feedback, we have bunch of updates in the pipeline that might include the export of the device locations. We'll look into exporting the heat maps as well. You'll know when it's out from our newsletter / social media updates..

I think it would be nice if entering basic data could retrieve a list of requirements for customer antennas. Example:

Frequency 5500 MHz, EIRP 30db, Noise floor -90, with CC60, for MCS9 CPE(SM) need to be:

Channel width 40Mhz
  
up to 300m - 13 dBi (dish)
450m 16 dBi
700m 19 dBi
900m 21 dBi
1.3km 24 dBi
1.4km 25 dBi

Channel width 80Mhz

220m 13 dBi
350m 16 dBi
480m 19 dBi
600m 21 dBi
900m 24 dBi
1km 25 dBi
 

thanks for the tips, we'll look into it

Seems like the link you shared is broken

As RF elements, an antenna manufacturer, we can tell with certainty how our antennas work and what they do. Since this particular MU-MIMO implementation is a feature of the radio, in-depth questions should be directed to the radio manufacturer.
