1. GPS coordinates for each device
2. Exact compass headings / angles to aim devices at each other?
3. Maybe use mils as unit of measure? 1/6400
4. Also vertical angles

The idea is provide us with math to dial in everything, then confirm with signal strength

How can we use smart phones to help us dial it in with the math?

Incorrect Terrain Classification – Water Body Detected as Mountain

Coordinates: -26.104457, 27.788104

Summary

This report is to document an apparent terrain data anomaly in UISP Design Center where a body of water is incorrectly represented as elevated terrain (mountain/hill), which affects link planning and line-of-sight calculations.

Location

• Coordinates: -26.104457, 27.788104
• The location corresponds to a dam/body of water in the area, not elevated terrain.
• The terrain model in UISP shows significant elevation where the water surface should be flat and near surrounding ground level.

Problem Description

When planning wireless links across this area in UISP Design Center:

• The water body is displayed as a mountain or elevated terrain.
• This creates false obstructions in link planning.
• Line-of-sight calculations become inaccurate.
• Fresnel zone clearance calculations are affected.
• This may lead to incorrect tower heights or unnecessary relay sites being planned.

Expected Behaviour

The terrain at the specified coordinates should:

• Be represented as flat or near-flat terrain.
• Not appear as elevated terrain.
• Allow accurate line-of-sight calculations across the water.

Actual Behaviour

• The terrain elevation spikes significantly at the coordinates.
• The software treats the water body as a mountain/hill.
• Links crossing this area show obstruction where none exists in reality.

Impact

This issue impacts:

• Link planning accuracy
• Tower height calculations
• Network design decisions
• Installation planning
• Cost estimations for infrastructure

Work of art! And people always give wireless installers grief, but if you say you're from the cable company, you can get away with murder.

We currently have this setup

Base Station

Rocket ac BaseStation RP-5AC-Gen2 with AirMAX ac BaseStation Sector Antenna UBNT AM 5AC21 60

Client Station

PowerBeam ac Bridge (PBE-5AC-Gen2) x 2

That gives 100mbps and 300mbps.

We want to upgrade now, since we have a new HQ. (below is what we initially planned)

We were suggested this

Anyone here who can recommend the most ideal setup.

Should we go with PtP or PtMP?

Airfiber or LTU?

why are there restrictions on this area and will the restrictions be lifted soon ?

How can I use this service now, is there a paid service that is not restricted in Syria

I can't seem to get rid of the Inactive Users error in CRM therefore I'm not getting user data usage. This is driving me nuts, I've deleted and started from scratch and still can't get it to work properly. I'm paying for this service so it's very frustrating. It won't allow me to change user location which is the problem I think. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have a motorhome with an older LiteBeam on the roof (regular 5GHZ) and I'm now in a park with several U6 Mesh Pro's to connect to.

Distance is very short, signal is pristine, interference is basically non-existent. Number of clients is, like 10 (!!). It's the best possible WiFi scenario I've ever seen.

My Litebeam is old in the tooth. Can anyone recommend a more modern radio to use to connect to the U6 Mesh Pro AP that will work in Station Mode and be somewhat directional?

I'm running UniFi Network Management on my laptop to manage/configure the network. Your help is appreciated !!

I need to share network access with 2 buildings where trenching lines aren't an option. I'm currently using nanobeams; they work fine, but I wanted to try a 60GHz solution for more bandwidth.

I'm considering using a Wave-AP-Gen2 for the main building and either a Wave-AP or Wave-Pro for the remote locations. Is this your recommendation?>

I've been unable to find much info regarding the difference between the Wave-AP-Gen2 and the Wave-AP-Micro. Likewise, on the remote end, I'm not seeing many differences between the Wave-AP and Wave-Pro. Do you have any opinions on the best equipment combination?

Both remote locations are at close to the same angle from the main building, I have a good line of sight to both remotes, and the distance to the furthest remote is 1350ft.

Thank you for your help.

Project 1 - Transmitter/s can be centrally located with line of site to appox 12 locations with 360 degrees from the base.

Project 2 - Transmitter/s located on a police department that will need to hop up to 7 times from pole to pole with cameras on each pole. Due to line of site issues from buildings, transmitters will go in 3 different directions.

Project 3. Transmitter located on PD to 20 cameras located in a park, walkway, and bridge.

I know, it's a lot. I'm just looking for guidance on the equipment I should be considering. The newer cameras are starting to eat bandwidth, and I'm concerned the AC line may not have enough juice. 2 of the 3 projects above are currently running on on AC or M 5 GHz, but they are looking to expand. No hop is farther than 2500 feet, most are 500 to 1000.

I would gladly pay for a phone consult if that is available.

Best Regards,

Bill

I'm looking for some input on a PtmP plan I came up with.

Our current setup is as attached below:

Float 1 has four cameras, two access points, serving about 10 people.

Float 2 has one camera.

Float 3 has eight cameras, five AP's, and can at peak hours have 60 people on it.

Float 4 has three cameras, two AP's, and can also have about 60 people on it at peak hours.

The station is a LiteAP AC, with 4 NanoStation 5AC Loco's as the stations. It's about 500 ft from the top of the dock to the floats. This setup is running at 40MHz channel width in the DSF zone, and consistently have an RX rate of 8x. There is one PtmP access point per float, of which our dock is comprised of 4 separate floats tied together. However, in this current setup there are a number of internet connectivity issues present such as: calls via WhatsApp/WiFi calling dropping, slow internet speeds, and drops in internet connectivity. These issues are intermittent, but are exacerbated in the evenings when there are lots of people the come up to the floats.

My plan is as follows in the attached photo:

I will add a secondary LiteAP AC to a different building, and help split up the load between the 4 floats. Each station will take one heavy load float, and one light load. Both access points would have a unique ssid that two of the stations would connect to, each on their own control frequency such that they do not overlap.

Does this sound like something that could help alleviate our issues, or would this not help as much as I think it would?

if you know the solve of this problem send me the salvation

The ranch is connected via Starlink.

• I have an LTU Rocket on a tower
• I have a usip console 330
• I have a core/aggregation Switch
• I have fiber connecting some of the buildings
• I have LTU antennas on the endpoint houses/buildings
• I also have a UDM Pro that is connected to the Starlink

Inside the buildings I have the following Unifi gear

• Small Uinifi switch
• Unifi 6 Mesh AP

My question is around the networking in the IT closet mostly. I'm getting myself confused with the UDM Pro and the UISP console.

What's the preferred way to connect things with what I have, starting from the Internet inward?

It's all working, I just think I have some duplication or devices that are not really doing anything. :) Like the Console below

Here is how things are set up today. I'm working on the STP priority issue as well (I dont have the aggregation swith installed - today's project)

Any recomendations/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I’m not an expert in point-to-point antennas, and I would really appreciate your advice on a project I have in mind.

The house where I currently live (and where I have a fiber optic internet connection that reaches up to 2500 Mbps download) is located 700 meters away from my other house in the countryside, which unfortunately doesn’t have any internet connection.

I’ve attached a photo showing the view from the roof of my current house. In the image, I highlighted in red the roof of my neighbor’s house; my countryside house is right next to the one in the photo, and as you can see, it would be covered by the tree canopy.

I’d like to ask: do I need to mount the antenna on a telescopic pole, so that it rises above the treetops? Or could I still get some signal even if the antenna is partially blocked by the trees?

In your opinion, is this a feasible solution? Also, what Ubiquity antennas would you recommend for this distance and line of sight?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Mario

On the network connected Wave Pro, I connected via the app in hopes of making that device the AP. But it fails each time.

Both are in PTP mode, uisp is the SSID, but I did not assign a Key believing it would assign a key automatically, so its all 0000.0000.

This typically not given me challenges.

tengo ya mi servidor local de UISP,

No tengo ip Publica, y quiero usar la app móvil para ver la red desde internet.

Mi pregunta es si adquiero una ip Publica de mi proveedor, puedo usar la app móvil si se puede, agradecería me expliquen como puedo iniciar sección en la app móvil para que apunte a mi servidor UISP auto alojado.
