Hey, I went up to the Ubiquiti World Conference yesterday in Chicago.  Thought I’d share a few quick points from my notes.

AirFiber

  * Mentioned they were shooting for one new product line per quarter - seems pretty aggressive
  * point to point wireless backhaul.  Not wifi based.
  * 700 Mbps in each direction up to about 1.5 miles.  250 Mbps out to ~10 miles (max range) 
  * license free, 24 Ghz.  Might support licensed 21 / 25 Ghz later on.
  * they brought the AirFiber team in from Motorola Canopy. 
  * simultaneous transmission - separate antenna for TX / RX.  Allows for better RX gain without hitting FCC limits for output. 
  * $3000 for two units / a single link.

Unifi

  * UAP Pro should be available in April finally.  Will have GbE, multiple ethernet ports, 802.3af, 5 Ghz support. 
  * Outdoor 5 Ghz 
  * Availiability issues - UAP-LR has not shipped for a few months.  Should be better soon. 
  * Multi site management coming soon.  Separate databases, single place to manage all of it through.

AirOS Roadmap

  * 5.5 - multiple VLAN support, large MTU (2024 bytes) 
  * 5.6 - Ubiquiti SNMP MIB 
  * Multiple SSID's might be added in a later release

AirSync

  * prevents your own AP's on a single tower from transmitting while another is receiving.  Only prevents collisions from your own AP's though.

ToughSwitch

  * 8 port web managed (AirOS) PoE switch 
  * VLAN's, bonding, RSTP, etc. 
  * Ping monitoring, auto power cycle AP on port. 
  * No fiber planned 
  * no pricing announced

  * Rocket Titanium, Bullet Titanium 
  * Variable sector width product: can be 60 / 90 / 120 degrees, can be changed by user 
  * A few months out

AirControl 2

  * centralized management for AirMax devices 
  * auto topology mapping, can pull GPS coords from devices. 
  * proprietary management protocol, no SNMP :( 
  * rule based grouping / altering / action / confic changes

AirVision

  * right now, AirCam, AirCam Dome, AirCam mini 
  * same type of camera in each.  720p 
  * Dome has built in mic, micro SD card 
  * Mini is table top form factor, has a webcam like look to it 
  * AirCam pro later this year.  Metal body, optical zoon, heating.  1080p.  IR LED 
  * New AirVision software features - mobile browser support, video export, email notifications with pictures, automatic disk management 
  * Working on pushing intelligence to cameras themselves to offload from AirVision server - motion detection, etc. 
  * Eventually will have PTZ cameras. 
  * No wireless cameras planned.
