Discussing internet connectivity over great distances.
Discussing internet connectivity over great distances.
The device you were using previously might work better over shorter distances.
We have previously deployed AmpliFi™ Mesh with additional Wi-Fi access points inside rooms, but the setup mainly focuses on short-range antennas to avoid large UFO dishes near building edges. Our current system is limited to 100 transmissions, making it weak and inconsistent, especially in winter when speeds fall to around 10% with an 800ms delay. I rely on Ubiquity because it’s a trusted brand and has proven effective before.
When working with PtP wireless bridges, ensure clear line-of-sight, account for possible blockages (like trees or buildings), and minimize interference from nearby WiFi signals. If opting for Ubiquiti equipment such as airFiber, airMax, or LTU, consider consulting a professional for an accurate evaluation. Watch this video to understand the key factors to weigh during your decision.
Thanks for your feedback. I reached out to Ubiquity with the same inquiry and they responded on a Saturday. Another reason to pick them over other brands! They recommended the Gigabeam LR, airFiber 60 and above. Both models share similar specifications but differ by around 100€. Ultimately, I chose two. Also, as an IT enthusiast, I’m determined not to rely on any Italian technician again. They’ve consistently delivered poor results—promoting cheap Chinese products and then disappearing to avoid taxes. I’ve seen them fail financially, often fleeing with customer money and starting new ventures the next day. I’ve installed a few Ubiquity devices but never used long-range models, so I’m testing their capabilities. Distance, check. Performance, check. POE, speed, and setup—everything seems to work. Am I missing something? Can the sender connect directly to the router/modem (FtitzBox), or is there a need for custom hardware?
