Skypilot AP...what, $3,500?
UBNT AP...under $100.
Its going to take a lot more CPU and memory before the UBNT might work.

I think, that ubnt has a contract with skypilot :-), one of terms is "no pooling or nstreme for NS5" :-)

i dont remember anymore on wich post here i already mentioned
that polling is doable /in meaning to get rid of the hidden-node problem and may some other goodys/ without outmax the cpu . Also without messing up the whole Os and doing ugly things in kernel and driver. But this was ignored by most readers.
How ever since i already use the Ubnt sdk for some tweaks for my wisp i started
2 weeks ago to work on such a solution. It will be now superduper sophistikated
sientific solution but it will do it basicly what for larger sides is needed.
Anyway if ubnt is implemeting polling i be the first who shout hurra.

SkyPilot spent a lot of money developing the firmware for their equipment. The firmware that is used with the Nano and Powerstation is the CPE firmware, it's not the mesh that is loaded on the Extender and Gateway.
If you need polling, upgrade to another version of firmware. You are still below the cost of most radios on the market. Development of firmware takes some time. Most of the time has been in making it stable and that has made it work very well. Where I disagree with many people on here is that although polling is a nice feature, I think that if you use bandwidth managmement and user bandwidth analysis, you can compensate for that up to a certain level. In fact, there is a feature on Tropos radios that start throttling users that are using an excessive amount of capacity at the AP level. That might be a feature I would jump on before the polling issue.

I'l give it up ... to many diffrent thoughts on this theme i think .

Guy, I agree we need it and Ubiquiti knows this. This was a first gen product and they just needed to get the core firmware solid first. 3.3.1 was just completed a short time ago and it seems to be very stable. I don't know of any other bugs at this point other than one we can't even nail down yet. If this SDK is caught up, that gives them the opportunity to start working on features again.
