This is an email conversation between JJ, Greg, Mike, Andrew Cox, Andrew Thrift, Justin, Tom, and others. I thought you guys might find this interesting.<\/p>\n
We have been working on a mast site ( revisiting it since ) our Work on spacing out the Antennas last year,<\/p>\n
I was wondering about your opinions.. on Sectors…<\/p>\n
we have been using Pac wireless ones \/ Laid ones which seemed to have good range and great noise rejection (front to back)<\/p>\n
we started using Sunparl Dual Polarity sector Antennas. they look impressive all metal enclosure etc… … and had great signal strenghths however compared with Pac wirelsss we have seen other neighbouring sectors at -15 ( as opposed to –45 \/ -50 on Pac wireless dishes)…<\/p>\n
what I was wondering was what is your experience with sectors… are the UBNT Sectors good ? I have never used them out of prejudice….<\/p>\n
What have you used and what would you recommend ?<\/p>\n
any pointers would be much appreciated…<\/p>\n
PS I love Jirous Dishes (Extreme) for Point to Point Links \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100+ ubuquiti antennas on towers \/ poles \/ cow pastures. I have been very impressed. I love that all of them are dual poll for a minimum amount of money. I love the new titanium sectors better rejection selective beam. Tho only bad thing I can think to say is the non titanium ones have what seems to be rivets around the rp-sma connector that seem to rust pre maturely. <\/p>\n
I would have to say go for it! I think you will be happy… We are. <\/p>\n

I’ve heard that(from JJ I think) for the price the UBNT antennas have the best design. I’ve had good success with them also.<\/p>\n

We use the 120 degree ubnt sectors (5g19 i think) with ubtik enclosures. Mikrotik with ubnt antennas win win I’m my book.<\/p>\n
_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+<\/p>\n
Jirous looks great. I’d love to try them sometime.<\/p>\n
I used to love MTI sectors, but they’re so damn expensive.<\/p>\n
_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+<\/p>\n
Thanks for that… I really appreciate.. it…<\/p>\n
I presume you would recommend the RF Armour … as well ? <\/p>\n

\nI second the ubnt sectors. No firsthand experience with the titaniums yet. I do have experience with the rf armor shields though. Very happy with the ubnt+ rf armor.

I have a couple Titaniums, but nothing much to offer any insight from. I certainly like the mechanical setup of Titaniums vs. standard + RF Armor.<\/p>\n
_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+<\/p>\n
We have tried the Laird, Sunparl and UBNT sectors.<\/p>\n
I too really like Sunparls enclosure, but the brackets and lack of protective coating on the pcb let them down. Also we got a fair bit of noise with them.<\/p>\n
The ubnt dual polarity sectors are what we use and recommend. They are good quality and the brackets are really nice.<\/p>\n
All our back hauls are now Jirous, its good to see more people discovering them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
