Thank you Ilario!
But, I have not seen any "PowerBeam" word or similar within the binaries
cooked by the Chef for my network. The "ubnt" binaries I find are:
air-gateway, airrouter, bullet, loco, ls, nano, rocket, rs, uap, unifi...
I guess you mean the PBE-M5-400 looks good to be compiled with the LiMe
Build tool, don't you?
I hope compiling a firmware image for it is not problematic...
I have played with Nanostation M5, and they work
ok, but I am looking
for a more directional solution for a long distance poin-to-point link
within a noisy environment.
My experience in the field is too limited for giving
you an answer.
Anyway looking at the supported Ubiquiti devices the PowerBeam M5 400
(PBE-M5-400 https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam) looks good. The AC version of these antennas is not supported yet
by OpenWrt/LEDE
(note that they're not 802.11ac anyway, they're just evilUbiquiti
[1]/signature checking locked [2]/vendor lock-in [3]/proprietary
protocol [3]/hackers enemy [2,4] devices).
I hope we can find a better vendor (or wait for LibreRouter [5]).
Bye!

that you brick your device flashing it with non-original firmware is
evil. http://bloodhound.aredn.org/products/AREDN/wiki/HowTo/Unbrick
