I used his products since 2008, very cost-effective and neat, it also tells you that there is money to be made in hardware, or software-hardware combined business at SV, not just facebook like companies there. Meraki who is doing mesh wifi, to some extent similar to UBNT, did not do well somehow, even with google's backup in the early stage. On the other hand, UBUT does everything Wifi, but mesh.

I've been using his product religiously since they've been available. Unfortunately that's the crux of his products: they're often not available. Ubiquiti does a fantastic job of engineering and marketing (online), however when a new product hits their page - it's often months upon months before distributors get product. That being said - it's some of the best wireless gear for the money. Their new 1Gb+ (AirFiber) link hardware is pretty awesome, and in general I won't buy consumer grade wireless junk (i.e. Linksys, D-Link, etc) anymore since I can outfit clients or family with hardware like UniFi very cost effectively. xxiao - not sure of what you mean by "mesh" but AirOS (and pre-AirOS) has supported WDS for quite some time.

  AirOS and everybody else has WDS these days, Mesh is different that uses AD-HOC mode(check meraki.com, google olsr, 802.11s etc). Routerboard is actually also great hardware vendor, and cheap too. However it's not in US, and it sells licenses with its software with a premium, which is not attractive to customers, esp those in other developing countries. UBNT wins the battle easily with great hardware, and most importantly, free software going with it.
