New Ubiquiti PowerBridge M5 targeted at WISPs

The new Ubiquiti PowerBridge M5 is directly targeted at WISPs who need the increased capacity between towers but whos wallets are tight.  The PowerBridge features a unique 25dbi MIMO antenna array that Ubiquiti claims will support links up to 20 miles with 100 Mbps+ throughput.  I do find that a little hard to believe as you would normally need an external antenna to sustain such throughputs at that distance so if you have any feedback on actual throughputs we’d love to hear it!

The PowerBridge M5 comes at a price of $269 per end or $538 for a complete link.
