Ayrmesh is nothing more than Ubiquiti hardware that has been flashed with a custom firmware and programmed for idiot-proof installation.
Sidebar - FCC's Maximum Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) is 36 dBm (4 watt)[1], so when using a large, high-gain antenna, the Transmit Power is reduced, and as bmoffitt indicated 13 years ago "A 1-watt omni 2.5 GHz radio will do a lot if you know a little about RF."[2]
The large, high-gain antenna, when used in a “radio-quiet” environment, is needed to receive weak Tx signals coming from a smartphone/laptop, etc. Where I was, the Pixel 8A was receiving a strong signal. I might add when receiving the JonesFarm signal at 7 miles distance between antennas, our antenna is on the backside of the wooden power pole for receiving Jone's Tx. 4 watts can travel a long distance, but cellphones have a maximum WiFi transmit power around 15 dBm output, 32 milliwatts (mW)
"Ayrstone AyrMesh is designed to be single-purpose, largely automatic system to enable a non-technician to quickly and easily build a good wireless network for a rural home or small business.
AyrMesh is specifically not designed for massive scaling, commercial or hospitality use, or folks with extensive IT excperience."[2]
And who wants to pay a tech to service the equipment?
