Ubiquiti is great (by itself) or as a nice compliment to other carrier wifi solutions.

We were in Muni because some of our carrier customers were. BelAir Networks has always maintained that carriers are the best ones to run big networks. That pov may not always be popular, per earlier comment, but it has proven accurate and it has certainly worked well for us.

There are no direct quotes, but I talked to Ronny Haraldsvik who I cited in the story. BelAir has actually changed quite a bit over the years. With the big muni-Wi-Fi boom dead, it’s shifted its strategies to building commercial Wi-Fi networks for carriers. It supplies a lot of AT&T’s Wi-Fi hotspot gear for instance.

Metro Wi-Fi networks should be community/consumer operated resources. Carriers, of all sorts, already have their grubby hands deep enough in the spectrum; without any regard to the real public interest.

Mr. Fitchard, is the angle of this article your own voice or is this truly the expressed intent of Bel Air? I notice that there were NO quotes, of any sort, included in the piece.
