Our new toys from RF Elements just arrived :)
As some of you guys know in real life I run a Internet company called Skynet here on Margarita Island. As the demand for new bandwidth is growing and growing recently on some of our Access points we are getting really crowded and had to look for a solution to reduce the noise, specially in Porlamar and on the highest point on Margarita, " la Sierra" or also called "Cerro Copey".
We looked for a long time around to find a high quality product for the harsh environment ( salty air ) and to reduce the noise as much as possible. Finally we spotted a company called RF ELEMENTS ( https://www.rfelements.com ) They offer a totally new concept in the Wireless industry, a product called " Horns"
Well I must say a was a bit sceptical at the beginning, because the footprint of the antenna is very small, and we have some clients very far away. Until now we used Ubiquiti's Titanium series, which disappoints me a bit, because the quality is not the very best....
Compared to the traditional Sector antenna this new Product from RF Elements is very small, so you save a lot of space on the tower. Anyway long story short, couple of days ago finally the new Horns and the new Ubiquiti Prism AC Radio arrived :)
First we started to mount them in Porlamar to do our first test with the new product ....

After that was a total success, now clients are way better connected then before, we moved on and installed the other ones on the Mountain :)
I must say I am totally satisfied with the results of this new Product, not only that the quality of the product is the best I have ever seen, it is the noise that has been reduced that much and the signal strength to the customers has been improved a lot !
Hey @elyaque! Enjoyed thinking of it. Thanks!
Thinking of? Are you a WISP and like to use this new toys?
Not, already. Couple years ago, I've had a crazy idea to beam my home wifi off to my summer cottage ~50 km away. Luckily for me, mobile internet access has been made available in the area before :)
Well I started my business 2010, because where i lived was no Internet at all, so my needs became a company later on :)
You are a real role-model entrepreneur to my mind. I wish you a lot of success in your business!
Thanks :)
In my past I sell ubiquity equipment. It is high quality 🏌🏌🏌🏌
The radios are, as well all the series where only plastic is involved, but when it comes to metal parts, ubiquiti's quality suck's big time! I don't know how many Nanobridges I have trow a way because they get eaten up by rust... So at the end you have to change them every 18 months because they are fucked up.... I live here on an Island which is surrounded by salty air.... Look at the picture I attached, this equipment is 1 year old, the screws are so fucked up, you cant even open then anymore and the Dish is start to get rusty everywhere.... prefer Rf Elements without a doubt.
I found some older Pictures pictures with some really fucked up ones:
This Antenna for example is only 6 month old:
oh, that rusty one looks pretty ugly, just like my satellite dish now :)))
I see. Thank you. I have never thought that salt is so aggressive.
