Anything in that email about pre-orders?
Ubiquiti is great but you don't want to pre-order anything from them. They have been known to take a long time to bring the promised items to market.
-
Personally, don't touch them for 6 months. Wait for bugs to be ironed out.
Their products are fantastic but something new does not mean it will be great at launch. (I might be wrong)
-
i'd assume this is just a different hardware form factor of the same OS. for $50 bucks....i'll be a guena pig.

@dominica had decided over lunch, seven hours ago, that we are getting one of these for our travels to ensure that we have a stable router wherever we are. So we are getting on as soon as they are available.

@Hubtech Yeah. I'm sure it's still vyatta

It is, they already listed the OS.

I'd be interested if it was real PoE/PoE+ not 24v passive PoE. It's only really use full if you have or are going to use the Outdoor AP for a WISP (and the injector isn't included).

Actually we are really interested in it for the internal AP. For our travels, we were actually talking about how nice that would be.

You could look for yourself instead of speculating.. I wasnot in a position to do all the work for you this morning. Just posted because it seems interesting..

I wasn't speculating. It is 24v passive PoE, which I won't use as its not a standard.
-
I'm asking the same thing.. why are they doing 24 Volt instead of standard POE/POE+?

Because that is what a lot of their gear uses.

Ubiquiti has used the 24V Passive PoE standard forever. This should really not come as a surprise.
Who is going to power everything from a router anyway? That is what your PoE switch is for.
But if you have a single Ubiquiti AP this is the perfect router for you.
-
@JaredBusch they have plenty that runs on standard POE/POE+. That's part of the reason I use the UAP Pros plus that are dual band.
Door p2p I've had to use the 24v but that's the only real place I see this being used is as a WISP provided router. Espically since it doesn't come with the injector to power it.
-
holy shit, I might have to get one.

Want to bet $50 on it?
