Anyone played with/deployed any Mimosa gear? I’m not a “real” wireless guy so I’ll spare folks any armchair speculation. Just looks interesting to me. -c On Jan 29, 2015, at 8:34 AM, Steven Miano <mianosm@gmail.com> wrote:

They're great to work with - and the product is decent in terms of scalability across geographically locations with management being hosted by them, or you - as/when needed.
Huge list of features and capabilities (from having silly fun with the LEDs on the units, to 802.1x and WIPS/etc).

You can also VLAN allocation through RADIUS. Our setup has a single SSID, 250-odd user accounts. User connects to the SSID & authenticates with their userid/password and is assigned to their VLAN, which connects them to the appropriate DHCP server, gateway, etc.
Makes management and segregation fairly trivial (for non-trivial values of trivial :-)).

Most of the issues are related to firmware. Most of my UBNT experience was with the UAP-Pro and the UAP-AC, and it wasn't a good experience. Production firmwares seem to be of beta quality.
For features, they can't compete with Ruckus. One thing I can think of off the top of my head is support for tagging management on its own VLAN and tagging wired traffic onto another. If you were to implement this on the UBNT products you would have to SSH into every single one and implement the features as you would on a linux box, and it might work. Ruckus, you configure the VLAN's how you would want through the Zonedirector or the AP's GUI and it will just work.
They cost more, but you get what you pay for.

Did you figure out why it was dropping out? All of it dropping out? Just some APs dropping? Just some users dropping?

I had a bad experience with it one time at a tradeshow environment. 6 access points setup for public wifi. The radio levels were quite good in various areas of the tradeshow however traffic would keep dropping out at random intervals as soon as about 300 users were online. It wasn't my idea to use UBNT but it definitely turned me off of their product after digging into their gear...
Again as someone pointed out, for residential and perhaps SOHO applications it can probably work well - and in my opinion it's priced for that market.

What problems have you had with UBNT?
It's zero hand-off doesn't work on unsecured networks, but that's about the extent of the issues I've heard of other than stadium density environments.

Dear nanog community
I was wondering if you can recommend or share your experience with APs that you can use in locations that have 300-500 users. I friend recommended me Ruckus Wireless, it would be great if you can share your experience with Ruckus or with a similar vendor. My experience with ubiquity for this type of requirement was not that good.
Thank you and have a great day
