<br>
I'm looking to take the next step in higher speed data and it looks<br>
like the added range from 900 MHz is the place to go. If the speed<br>
and bandwidth is cranked down - and a reasonable antenna used - it<br>
should be possible to get some range out of the units. Not as much as<br>
the UDRX would have given but significantly more than 2.4 or 5.9 GHz.<br>
<br>
It appears Ubiquity units are still available and not terribly<br>
expensive. They are supported with OpenWRT (AREDN) so it'll be<br>
flexible for experimentation. Might even be some for sale at SeaPac<br>
next weekend.<br>
<br>
Units I'm looking at now:<br>
* Nano Station Loco - <a href="https://amzn.to/2we6VvV" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2we6VvV</a><br>
* Rocket - <a href="https://amzn.to/2wh1zA6" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2wh1zA6</a><br>
<br>
I may not have to get anything new. There's some Metriocom units to<br>
check out first. It's a dead end in the future but certainly worth<br>
checking out now.<br>
<br>
Is the unit on Gold using the proprietary NV2 or a more standard WIFI?<br>
If conventional WiFi then there are more opportunities to listen for<br>
it and possibly connect.<br>
