They are taking pre-orders now for a (hopefully) June delivery. I'm
at a conference now and got the rundown yesterday from Ubiquiti. This
product was designed completely from the ground up by the former
Motorola Canopy 100 team. It -should- deliver ~700mbit in both
directions @ full duplex. Note that 24ghz is very susceptible to
"rain fade" and should be used in caution in certain climates,
especially at longer distances approaching 10+km. Anyhow, check the
video out on ubnt.com for an introduction and technical overview -
it's worth watching.
